African-Americans, Arab Americans, Asian Pacific Islanders, Latinas, and Native
Americans face unique challenges in the workplace as entrepreneurs and as business owners: I envision SistersinBiz.com to be an online community where we can address the following:
- getting and staying inspired
- developing mentoring relationships and finding role models
- professional conduct,
- understanding tax and making tax laws work for you
- improving business operations
- marketing and PR for women-owned businesses
- and general news and views and current events
This blog is devoted to you. Have a question, comment, or issue you want to air? Contact me through the comments box below. Who am I?
I'm a Filipina business owner and entrepreneur based in Oakland, California. Since graduating from Cornell University in 1994, I've been involved in a variety of industries and have worked in technology, education, healthcare, retail, and strategic consulting. I have a young son and live with my husband in West Oakland.
Some of my favorite past lives have included being a worldwide journalist for an educational website, interviewing figures like Rigoberta Menchu and travelling to places like sub-Saharan Africa and Iran, as well as developing software for blind people, working as a web programmer during the dot-com "gold rush" in San Francisco, and being a health worker in Los Angeles as a fulltime volunteer.
My current company is a marketing consultancy. We offer a coaching and strategic analysis service for leaders in mid-sized businesses, and we also offer web and print design to membership organizations, non-profits, and small businesses.
I also do a lot of informal mentoring of young women of color who are interested in business and leadership. I find that many women are seeking role models, leaders, and access to information and resources: I hope to provide some of those through this blog.
My mission in life is to empower, educate, and connect women of color, and this blog is a part of my personal and professional desire to "give back" to all who have helped me succeed.
