Meet Dr. Tammira Lucas: The Fairy Godmother of Coworking in Baltimore.
In this episode of This Week in Coworking podcast, we are joined by Dr. Tammira Lucas, founder of The Cube, a unique coworking space that offers on-site babysitting services.
Dr. Lucas shares her journey of supporting women, especially moms, in entrepreneurship through her coworking space, and her extensive work as a professor and venture growth advisor.
She discusses the challenges of providing quality human capital, the importance of sustainable business models, and the intersection of coworking and childcare.
Dr. Lucas also highlights her efforts in building community and fostering generational wealth, her role with TEDCO, and her plans for future expansions, including franchising opportunities.
