Dream ChaseHer Journey

This week on The Dream ChaseHer Podcast I sat down with Daniel Fernandez, CEO, TMC Community Capital, a non-profit micro lender serving under-resourced California small businesses. Our conversation was insightful as Daniel shared TMCCC's plan to disrupt the current business funding process and their lenient business loan qualifications, which level the playing field for small business owners. TMCCC is certainly focused on those small business owners who are emerging.

In this episode we’re discussing self-limiting beliefs that hold us back from going after our deepest dreams. Imposture syndrome often keeps us stuck and questioning our brilliance. It’s time to see yourself walking in your true destiny. Believing in the seeds of greatness that God has placed on your heart. Today we are joined by fellow Dream ChasHer, Claudia Walker, who is  an author, former principal and a proud HBCU graduate. Her best-selling book series, “The ABCs of HBCUs” and “The ABCs of Black Wall Street” were inspired by her undergraduate experiences at Spelman College. In January 2023, both books were featured in Target stores as part of their Black History Month collection. Claudia shares: - How she prepared her brand for a Target partnership - Leaving a legacy for her children - Being an introvert business owner - Her "come to Jesus meeting" in 2018 that lead to the growth of her business - How she stays motivated during tough seasons This episode is brought to you by: Tamika Christy, award winning author and writing coach.

On today’s episode we have Onyx Ammons, Founder of Karter L’ Rose Candle Company, a venture she began as a way to fulfill her personal desires because being a busy wife and mom of three is not an easy feat. As a health enthusiast Onyx became extremely passionate about creating clean and natural alternatives to the household items that are regularly used. After careful research she found that her favorite candle brands that made her home so cozy contained tons of chemicals and unnecessary additives. It then became her dream to launch a soy based candle company that was free from all dyes and harsh chemicals.  She wanted to start a company that was true to her holistic living and a venture the entire family could contribute towards. Onyx’s dream was finally birthed just a few months ago and now she operates this bustling business from her home.
