About Us

Who are We?

In the spirit of the Swahili word “KULIMA,” which means TO CULTIVATE, we are coming together to build a vibrant network of successful black women entrepreneurs. Via knowledge sharing from a group of veteran subject matter experts, we will answer your questions and introduce you to information to strengthen your Entrepreneurial IQ. Like you, the women in The Kulima Collective are mothers, sisters, aunts, wives, girlfriends, best friends, and entrepreneurs (or entrepreneurs in the making). We understand the journey and intend to help clarify the foundational basics.

We’re here in hopes that we can help make your highs higher and your lows fewer
