Meet Kendrea Williams, the dedicated Founder and Executive Director of PitchFeast.
PitchFeast is committed to supporting early-stage BIPOC entrepreneurs and business owners. Established in 2015, the organization aligns these entrepreneurs with vital financial and business development resources to help them achieve success in their ventures.
Kendrea's guiding motto, inspired by Maya Angelou, encapsulates her commitment to leaving a positive impact on everyone she encounters: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Kendrea believes in the power of kindness and empathy, striving to ensure that every interaction leaves others feeling uplifted and inspired.
One of Kendrea's greatest inspirations is witnessing the transformation of a business idea into a thriving venture. Whether through individual coaching sessions or providing referrals to essential resources, Kendrea finds fulfillment in helping entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of starting and growing their businesses. She is particularly inspired by those who have bootstrapped their growth, demonstrating resilience and determination in overcoming obstacles.
On a lighter note, Kendrea's love for being near water is a fun fact about her personality. Whether it's the calming presence of a lake, the rhythmic sounds of ocean waves, or the tranquil atmosphere of a river, Kendrea finds solace and rejuvenation in the presence of water.
Through her work with PitchFeast, Kendrea continues to make a meaningful impact on the lives of BIPOC entrepreneurs, empowering them to turn their visions into reality and contributing to the growth and diversity of the business community.
