After the success of the festival, the organization set out to tackle another issue that they felt women were struggling with during the pandemic. With the goal in mind, they reached out to DoorDash, who agreed to sponsor $10,000 grants to 15 women. DoorDash also is giving an opportunity for one-on-one coaching with industry experts.
"We realized going through this on-on-one process that some women really needed more help than just $10,000 and three coaching sessions," Samson said. "So that is when we decided to come up with the academy.""We realized that all of us... all us women, we just did this on our own. We became entrepreneurs and nobody taught us how to do it. We had to learn everything on our own and make mistakes,"Samson said.
