Description
Omi Bell is a multi-talented computer scientist, business strategist, and serial entrepreneur. She also has a background in performance, K-12 Education, and IP Strategy. Her innovative approach to creating access to social and financial capital has earned her recognition as a leading voice in the industry, as well as praise from prominent figures such as Robert F. Smith and Daymond John.
As the founder of and CEO of Black Girl Ventures, Omi has made it her mission to provide resources and support to underrepresented entrepreneurs. Under Omi’s leadership, Black Girl Ventures has funded over 300 women founders representing about $10MM in revenue, creating over 3,000 jobs for the US economy and raising $5M in financial and social capital. Her impact extends beyond her organization, as she continues to be an advocate for social justice and equity in the business world.
Listen in to hear Omi share:
How women disassociate from their bodies over the course of their life and how hard it is to get out of your head and back in your body later in life
The mental shift for moms from “what do we need?” in earlier stages of motherhood vs “what do I need?” in later stages of motherhood
How being a 17-year-old mom laid the foundation for her to become the founder and CEO of Black Girl Ventures
How she went from renting out her living room as an Airbnb to make money to becoming a female founder who funds other black-owned companies
How she used the “template” of megachurches to build her business around community (without being culty)
The responsibility of owning and USING your creativity to show up in the world, as well as permission to step into your creativity by just dipping your toe in the water as a first step
