Kisha Mays is a woman who’s not only changing the world, she’s also empowering other women to do the same. She’s on a mission to help 1 million women generate $1 million in revenue by the year 2025. Kisha is an entrepreneur, producer, author, speaker, and so much more. She helps develop more successful female owned businesses through her business, Just Fearless. She also supports nonprofits worldwide that empower women and girls. Join the conversation as I join Kisha to talk about the good things as well as the hard things in the world of woman-owned businesses.

2:24 – The Kisha 101

  • Growing up in a single-parent household in an urban community, Kisha has known since high school that she wanted to work for herself.
  • The main mission of Kisha’s business, Just Fearless is to help 1 million women entrepreneurs generate a minimum of $1 million in annual revenue by December 31st, 2025.
  • When living in chaotic times, Kisha desires to focus on helping women with their business. If she focuses on helping women general $1 million in revenue, that’s a trillion dollars back to the global economy. That will have far greater impact than any protest.
  • Kisha’s grandmother and a deep-seeded belief in herself have been the greatest catalysts for pursuing a counter narrative to what she’d been told for so many years as a young woman wanting to be in business for herself.
  • Even with a high GPA, a high school guidance counselor told Kisha she wouldn’t have a good chance of getting into the college of her choice. We all need those people who are a generation ahead of us to speak life into us and mentor us and push us through those voices of doubt. Maybe you’re that person for someone else.
  • After high school, Kisha moved to New York and working for Continental Airlines. While working full time, she also tried to find her way through the music industry as a songwriter. It was her training ground that prepared her for building her own companies. 

15:35  – Investing in Women

  • Kisha worked a professional job during the day and became involved in an illegal business at night. Through her experience, she met so many women who wanted more for their lives but didn’t know how to get started.
  • In 2007, Kisha partnered with Dress For Success putting on empowerment events for women. In 2009, she ran a huge conference for women and experienced one of her biggest public failures.
  • Failures teach us who’s in our corner in the hard times and show us the strength we have to get back up and go again. In the same year, Kisha managed to pull off a successful event on a smaller scale.
  • As her company grew internationally, the vision to help 1 million women earn $1 million in revenue emerged, Kisha realized she can impact the world over and over again by empowering women grow their own talents and visions. 
  • Giving women opportunities to pursue their dreams simply comes down to creating confidence, resources and access.

33:00 – Moving Forward, Just Fearless

  • Kisha is focusing on ways to continue growing the Angel Fund that helps finance invest other women-owned companies from the seed stage and beyond.
  • She’s focusing on a new facet of Just Fearless called Her Story Connections to bring women together on everything women-owned. It features women in the business, creative, and literary fields through webinars, courses, classes, and a podcast.
  • Just Fearless will continue growing various events in different parts of the world to bring experts together who help women-owned businesses build revenue and expand their markets.
  • Kisha has all the foundations and programming in place for Just Fearless. The main focus now is getting the word out through podcasts, media outlets, social media, etc., to tell the world “we’re here and we really want to help.”

36:32 – Getting To Know Our Guest:

Find out what TV shows Kisha loved to watch growing up, what cheesy songs she has memorized, and which authors who are inspiring her right now. Don’t forget to stay tuned to hear the answer to the most important question of “What does it mean to you to run a business with purpose?”.

🎊 ONE WHOLE YEAR 🎉

My debut memoir, “If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry” has been out in the world for one whole year today. Writing this book was hard and holy work, and it’s been such a joy to see how many of you have laughed, cried, and laughed till you cried.

Thank you for the support of this book. ❤️

If you’ve read it, would you do me a *huge* favor and leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads? And would you share the book with a friend or on social media? It would mean the world to me.

And if you haven’t picked up a copy or downloaded the audiobook yet, what are you waiting for? 😉

I often wonder if he’d be a red head like Amos or if he’d be musically gifted like Lilly.

Would he love snuggling or be a boy who only wanted hugs on his terms?

Would his eyes be brown like his dad’s or would he be covered in freckles?

What would his laugh sound like? Who would be his best friend? What would his favorite book be? Would he say Gen Alpha slang words like sigma and skibidi or would he love his mom too much to do that?

Would I be mommy or mama or mom to him?

So many questions I won’t get to answers to on this side of heaven. But I think about him today, just like every day, and I hope he’s getting a slice of strawberry cake for his heavenly birthday.
