On October 24, 2025, WEI marked a major milestone: the graduation of Cohort 6—a powerful group of women founders who spent the last 15 months building, scaling, and leading their businesses with vision and purpose.
Hosted by the Greater Women’s Business Council (GWBC), the event took place during the grand opening of The Collective, a brand-new workspace created by GWBC to serve and celebrate women entrepreneurs. It was the perfect setting: a space built for women, by women—just like the WEI mission.
The evening was filled with energy, inspiration, and recognition of the grit it takes to grow a business from the ground up. Candace Mitchell Harris, founder and CEO of Myavana, delivered a keynote that reminded every graduate—and guest—why women’s innovation is a force to be reckoned with. Her journey from startup founder to beauty tech trailblazer resonated deeply, showing what’s possible when women of color are given the tools to thrive.
From tech to fashion to wellness and beyond, each woman in Cohort 6 brought her full self to the program—and left with a stronger business, a bigger network, and a renewed sense of purpose.
At WEI, we don’t just support businesses—we cultivate leaders. And as these incredible women step into their next chapters, we know they’ll continue shaping Atlanta’s economy and inspiring the next wave of entrepreneurs.
To Cohort 6: We are so proud of what you’ve accomplished, and even more excited for what’s ahead.
