Leading While Bleeding: Hidden Struggles of Building a Movement w/ Carmen Jones

What happens when your dream business grows beyond your expectations—and people turn against you for it? In this episode, Carmen Jones, founder and CEO of Black Girls Social Club, shares her raw and unfiltered journey of building a thriving global community for Black women. She takes us through the highs and lows of leadership, from skyrocketing growth to facing personal losses, betrayals, and even rumors threatening her reputation. Carmen gets real about: ✅ Leading while grieving—building a business while navigating personal loss ✅ What she thought Black women needed vs. what they actually needed ✅ Handling public scrutiny and bouncing back from rumors ✅ Why protecting your team and culture is just as important as growing your brand ✅ The emotional toll of leadership (and why most people don’t talk about it) Plus, she reveals what’s next, including the launch of her nonprofit supporting entrepreneurs' mental and emotional well-being. If you’ve ever felt the pressure of leading, growing, and keeping it together while the world watches—this episode is for you.
