Australia's First Black-Led Millennial Leaders Podcast. Est 2017.
Dear fellow minority founder,
Welcome to PEERS - a podcast by BIPOC founders for BIPOC founders. Join me, Nigerian-Greek Australian and Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister, Michelle Akhidenor, for soul-enriching conversations with peers.
Each week, I sit down with a young award-winning BIPOC founder and deep dive into their entrepreneurial journey. I ask questions like: Where did you grow up? How has your cultural background helped or hindered you along the way? How have you learnt to navigate white spaces in business? What is it really like to be a Person of Color in business?
These conversations are honest, vulnerable and above all, human. My mission with this show is simple: to amplify the voices of minority founders worldwide, impacting 1 million BIPOC millennials by 2027.
Thank you for joining me on this journey.
In Your Service,
Michelle

They say you need a special kind of fire inside to make it as a founder. But what keeps that flame burning? For this week’s guest, the fuel to her fire is good old-fashioned self-empowerment. With an unwavering commitment to giving her all, Shannie Mears attributes her success to staying true to herself and fully embracing her growth and evolution with pride — and her spark isn’t going out any time soon.
In this episode of PEERS, we’re joined by Shannie Mears, Head of Talent and Co-Founder of The Elephant Room to talk about accepting yourself as you are, how to practice self-awareness and stop self-judgment, and recognizing the power of your own voice.
