Empowered Founders, Empowered Teams, and Empowered Businesses! Last night’s MAC Xcelerator Empowered Founders Workshop at Modus Coworking was an incredible evening of learning, reflection, and connection for our Cohort 6 participants. Our founders were fully engaged and inspired throughout the evening — gaining practical insights to help them lead their businesses and teams with equity, empathy, and intention. The discussion, led by Shawntal Mallory and Jill Thomsen, explored equal opportunity, diversity in leadership, and inclusive team building, offering actionable tools for creating fair and empowered workplaces. We’re also deeply grateful to Leressa Joiner, who led a powerful session on wellness for founders — reminding participants of the importance of self-care, setting healthy boundaries, and understanding how their well-being directly influences their teams and organizational culture. Thank you to all our speakers, guests, and partners for making this event such a success. Our founders left more equipped to lead with purpose, and with a renewed commitment to caring for themselves as they grow their businesses. #EmpoweredFounders MacXcelerator #MidlandsAfricanChamber
