Hello friends!
In this week's episode, I spoke with Nneka, another one of my OG Twitter friends (if you aren't catching on to the trend that social can make networking fun and organic, you're missing out!).
Nneka is a 2016 graduate from Pace University with a B.S. in Communications with a concentration in Psychology and Women’s Studies. As a professional in the tech industry, Nneka spent time at Google, Refinery29, and Taboola where she built diversity, equity, and inclusion programs such as Refinery29’s Unbothered and Taboola Black.
Upon Nneka’s departure from Refinery29, High Black Girl was born. The mission? To demystify financial education to help - especially Black women - level up their finances and live their life at their highest potential.
Through corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs Nneka began to incorporate wellness by partnering with organizations such as Black Girls in Om. This partnership was the beginning of a path that would lead her to the Spirituality, Mind, Body Insitute at Columbia University.
In 2020 Nneka completed her 200-hour yoga certification with Y7 and currently teaches chakra-based hot power vinyasa from a trauma-informed lens at Corepower Yoga.
Eager to continue a path to spiritual awakening, Nneka is taking a sabbatical from corporate America to pursue her studies and High Black Girl full time. It’s Nneka’s mission to incorporate mindfulness, spirituality, and financial education into the core of the High Black Girl brand.
