After helping over 10,000 businesses secure millions in funding and generating thousands for herself as a passive income earner during the pandemic, Ohio-based entrepreneur Shante R. Roddy has created the She Boss Up Grants for women. Now in its third year, the application period runs from November 1-15 and submissions can be completed online.

As the founder of She Epic Media, host of She Boss Talk and CEO of SHE-Suite Consulting, Roddy has created events such as the She Boss Extravaganza and Elevate Women Business Summit. She also hosts pitch contests and virtual workshops throughout the year.

Firmly believing that there is power when women come together, Roddy has invited other disruptors to join her grant committee this year including Tamara Paylor of Mae Lea Designs Entrepreneur Life Apparel, Rashaunda Williams of Collective Impact, Shachena Gibbs of Real Sisters Raising Women Business Association, Maxine Palmore of Crown Me Lavish Company, Bethanie Nonami of Marley Nonami Incorporated, Nicole Murphy of Barter Black, Dr. Robin Evans of Mastered Communications and Consulting, and Dr. Fatimoh Harris of Excel Professional Grant Writing & Nonprofit Services, LLC.

Roddy is also set to go international as she has been invited to share her information in Europe and Africa.
