We provide branding services, curated events and resources for black women to connect  + grow with leaders in their industry, and develop personal wellness skills that promote work-life balance.

An entrepreneur is someone who will jump off a cliff and assemble an airplane on the way down. But for black women they do it with only a toothpick and a napkin.

WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT BLACK WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS TYPICALLY LACK THE RESOURCES AND CAPITAL TO LAUNCH, YET THEY TAKE OFF ANYWAY!

Black women need successful black mentors, who they can connect to. Foundation First is a community that provides curated events, business branding, and resources for black women. Our community gains opportunities to learn from and meet a large number of professionals currently working in their field, establish effective business branding, and develop personal wellness skills that promote work-life balance. 
 

Our branding services are targeted towards black women who have small businesses and new entrepreneurs who are starting new companies. Our clients are in industries that include, but are not limited to, technology, medicine, education, music, real estate, beauty, coaching, fashion, and more. Foundation First’s services include, but are not limited to, logo design, illustration design, website design, social media template design, book cover design, flyer design, business card design, media kit design, business plans and photography.
 

Foundation First launched in 2018 and is owned by Bri’Ann Stephens and Klarke Foreman.

Through our events, not only are we providing opportunities for women to grow in their field, but by creating these experiences we are also inspiring women to reach their full potential. Attendees are able to find mentors, listen to great music, check out amazing vendors, enjoy knowledgeable and relatable speakers, photobooths, connect with like-minded driven women—ultimately shaping and changing their lives.

Coaching: 
1:1Coaching is meant for the person who wants to clarify their goals, identify the obstacles holding them back, and then come up with strategies for overcoming each obstacle. 

 

As entrepreneurs we are wired to take on the world by ourselves. I will help you overcome challenges, learn new skills, improve relationships and deal with the complexities of life and business.
