🎙 THE NETWORK EFFECT | No More Waiting for a Seat: Women Building Businesses & Networks

What happens when passion meets purpose and the right people are sitting at the same table?

Meet Jessica Williams aka ~ a cigar enthusiast whose nine-year journey has become about much more than enjoying a great cigar. It’s about confidence, community, conversation, and connection.

In her recent interview with Taste the Dram, Jessica shared her perspective on women in cigar culture, breaking stereotypes, finding your own preferences, and creating genuine connections along the way.

And now, we’re taking the conversation further. 🎙️

During The Network Effect Podcast, we’ll talk with Jessica about the POWER OF NETWORKING and how the relationships we build in social spaces can become opportunities for mentorship, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and personal growth.

Networking isn't simply about collecting business cards.

It’s about who knows you, who has access to you, who you give access to, and who is willing to open a door for you.

💜 Black Business Month: Finding Light: Navigating Grief, Trauma, and Healing During the Holidays

As we celebrate Black Business Month, we’re shining a spotlight on one of our past guests, Mrs. Patrice McBeath-Lock, who shared an important message about the impact of trauma, mental health, and the importance of seeking treatment and support.

Trauma doesn’t take a holiday. For many individuals and families, the holidays can bring grief, stress, difficult memories, and unresolved experiences to the surface. Having access to professionals who understand these challenges can make a meaningful difference.

Mindful Mondays MKE is proud to recognize the work Patrice continues to provide in our community. CC: If you or someone you know could benefit from her services, take a moment to review her business information and connect with her directly. Supporting Black-owned businesses also means supporting the valuable services and resources they bring to our communities.

This is at the heart of the Mindful Mondays MKE mission~collaborating, connecting professionals, and sharing resources that can help our community thrive. We believe networking should create access to relationships, resources, mentorship, opportunities, and support.

💜 That’s the power of the Purple Chain Movement.
