Behind Every Successful Woman
Is A Tribe of Other Successful Women Who Have Her Back
We want the Bella story to be every women’s story. One of finding out who we are, what we’re made of, and learning to take those experiences to stand in our power and create the most profound professional and business lives possible.
Yet, we can’t do that alone. We need a powerful network.
The Bella Network is more than a social network or a family network but a network that includes top-level corporate professionals, small business owners and entrepreneurs exchanging ideas and sharing experiences.
Bellas are invested in making the connections to support your efforts and are willing to advocate on your behalf. Those types of relationships take time. Spend time with a tribe of Bellas!


We Do Conferences Differently!
Don’t you hate it when you go to an event and know something that the speaker doesn’t? Wouldn’t it be great if the conference forum allowed everyone to share what they know? Their expertise, their experience.
That’s just what we do. We believe that everyone has expertise worth sharing, so we minimize the use of speakers and panels.
Our participants come from various industries and levels of experience. This diversity adds tremendously to the overall knowledge sharing. You don’t just hear one person’s perspective or discussions from just a few. More importantly, we are looking for opportunities to develop a fresh way of addressing a situation, challenge, or issue, so everyone’s perspective is important.

The morning session was titled – Pandemic and Election Check-In…How are you doing? How are you feeling? We wanted to take time for “sisterhood.” In our second midday session, we provided a peek into what by sharing clips from past conference sessions. Finally, we split the group into three smaller separate sessions for our afternoon breakout sessions, where we brainstormed on how to overcome some of our biggest professional challenges and opportunities facing Black women.The 2021 Women’s Leadership Conference was held as intimate sessions with paid Bella members due to COVID restrictions and safety concerns.
