We Know What You're Thinking...

  • I barely have time to breathe, let alone join another group. → That's why we designed this for busy professionals. Pop in for 5 minutes between meetings or dive deep during EC Social Hour sessions. You set the pace that works for you.

  • I've joined other professional groups before and felt like an outsider. → This space was built specifically for BIWOC by BIWOC. No code-switching required. No explaining your experiences. Just real connection with others who get it.

  • Career coaching is expensive - I can't justify the cost right now. → At $21/mo (annual plan), you get ongoing support, expert guidance, and a whole community of brilliant minds for less than a single coaching session.

  • My challenges are super unique - will anyone really understand? → Our members range from tech executives to creative entrepreneurs, from recent grads to career pivoters. Whatever your path, there's someone here (and we’re 100+ strong and growing!) who's walked it.

  • Everything feels overwhelming right now. I don't know where to start. → Start exactly where you are. No pressure to have it all figured out. Our community supports you as you need, celebrating every win along the way.


    The Bottom Line: You're not alone in these thoughts. That's exactly why we created this space - a flexible, supportive community that meets you where you are and helps you get to where you want to be.

Inside the Embrace Change Community

  • “I loved the community I became part of while joining this program! They were my lifeline and saving grace when I struggled to see the leadership qualities that I had.”

    Miyamoto Jensen

  • “This program offered support in ways that I truly needed during my [career] transition. I wanted to be honest about my situation. And when I did, I was supported. I was allowed to feel. And I was reminded that no matter what, I am gifted, highly skilled, and talented. And great things will come.”

    Karla Flores

  • “Amazing experience. If I hadn't done it I wouldn't have had the courage to step back and reassess what I want to do with my talents.”

Invest in Your Future, Starting Today.

Remember: The relationships you build here can transform your entire career journey. Over 90% of our members say they wish they'd joined sooner.

You know that something’s wrong.

Maybe you hate your job and wake up crying on Mondays. Maybe you’re burnt out, overworked, and underpaid. Maybe your boss or colleagues are racist. Maybe your family doesn’t support what you want to do. Maybe you’ve lost the confidence and drive you used to have. Maybe you feel lost or stuck in eternal analysis-paralysis.

Venting to your friend group, your therapist, and your family isn’t cutting it anymore.

Women of color face unique challenges that are intensifying in today's rapidly changing work environment:

  • Navigating racism and sexism in the workplace

  • Feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to advance

  • Struggling with imposter syndrome and self-doubt

  • Balancing career ambitions with personal life

  • Keeping up with evolving industry demands
