A national community empowering Black and Brown teen girls ages 12-18 through mentorship, cultural education, and transformative experiences - built from scratch using 20+ years of marketing and relationship expertise. 501(c)(3) formation underway.
After 20+ years in entertainment and media, I identified a gap: there was no space where Black teenage girls could see themselves reflected in the industries I had spent my career building - not as afterthoughts, but as future leaders. So I built one. Pretty Smart Cookies launched in 2024 with six founding members and has grown into a national community operating across 11+ U.S. states and multiple countries.
Pretty Smart Cookies is the fullest expression of VP-level marketing applied to mission-driven work. Every skill that makes a great marketing executive - strategic thinking, relationship leverage, operational discipline, audience insight, brand building - is on display here. Built with no budget. Sustained by execution. Growing through trust.
501(c)(3) formation is currently underway, with board governance in development and programming expanding nationally and internationally through 2026 and beyond.
