Summary

Did you know that November is National Entrepreneurship Month? Being a business owner looks different for everyone, whether you’re a therapist scheduling back to back clients or a candle maker making the candles that leave our homes smelling incredible. In acknowledgment of all the dynamic Black women entrepreneurs in our community, we’ve prepared a series of conversations that provide insight into what it looks like to grow your business while also maintaining a healthy well-being.

This week, I’m joined by Bea Dixon, the founder of plant-based feminine care brand, The HoneyPot. Dixon is 1 of the first 40 women of color to raise one million in venture capital and has been featured in the Today Show, The New York Times, ELLE, ESSENCE and Forbes, to name a few. During our conversation, we discussed the importance of using your intuition when running a business, lessons Bea has learned from controversy, and what the future of the HoneyPot looks like post-acquisition.
