These are the kinds of conversations I crave. The kind of people I want to be around. People like Andrena. Grab a cup of coffee and sit with us while we get into the good stuff. This woman loves herself some Jesus and it's clear from the moment you meet her. She doesn't allow moments to be at the surface level and she stirs up beautiful, new thoughts in her writing and voice. I hope you fall in love with her just like I have. We're besties now, so look out world.
Andrena Sawyer is an author, consultant, and entrepreneur. She is the President of P.E.R.K. Consulting, an advisory firm for small to mid-sized nonprofits and businesses, and the Founder of MCWEN—a faith-based network for women of color entrepreneurs. Originally from Freetown, Sierra Leone, she and her family moved to the United States when she was nine years old due to a civil war that left thousands dead and untold numbers maimed and displaced. She now credits her family's move during the war for her interest in human triumph and perseverance. She has since actively worked to mobilize and empower others. For her work with nonprofits and small businesses, she has received numerous awards including the Startup Africa Woman Entrepreneur of the Year award, and the Hope for Africa Leadership in Community Development Award. In addition to her work with entrepreneurs and nonprofits, she is the author of several books, including: The Misadventures of a New Entrepreneur: 5 Things They Won’t Teach You in Business School.
Please listen and share. The world needs to hear what God has to say through this soul!
