Are You a Phenomenal Womanpreneur?

Published: June 22, 2011, 6 p.m.

What is an entrepreneur? It is someone who goes beyond the traditional paradigm of employment into one that is much grander and more exciting. The entrepreneur is a person who takes risks and is involved directly with the art and process of creating, out of nothing, something valuable to someone else. The entrepreneur has become the “rainmaker” of corporate America and is transforming the economies of the world. The entrepreneur is powerful! Add a female entrepreneur to the mix and you get a womanpreneur! Someone who is even more powerful and more influential because she has a determined spirit that weaves our cultural fabric. A womanpreneur incorporates her business, her faith, and her family into every day. Dr. Carolyn Edwards (a/k/a Dr. E) was born and raised in Washington, DC and is a Howard University Alum. She holds a Masters and Doctorate degree in management. Dr. E’s “Life Journey”, “Dreams” and “Life Mosaic” Programs have been used around the country to help others achieve their dreams, develop character and live authentic lives. She is the author of two children’s books and three writing journals which have been used in non-profit, government, education, religious and personal programs to help empower others through writing to live purposeful lives. After ten years as a college professor, Dr. E realized that helping empower children can be the catalyst for more productive adult decisions. Therefore, her children’s books “I Can Be” and “Fun With Money” are a step to provide children with knowledge and tools early in their lives that can shape their minds for positive, peace filled, purposed and authentic lives.
