Our beginnings
Launched in November 2025 by Valerie Jackson and Tiffany Harris-Delaney, Boss Lady Network grew from a desire to support, empower, and uplift women of color at different stages in their careers.
That first gathering set the tone for a sisterhood grounded in trust, shared wisdom, and meaningful support.
The network launched with a dinner in Atlantic City, bringing women together around a shared commitment to growth.
A leadership session with Dr. Tonicia Freeman-Foster of LEIDOSWEL explored community, accountability, mindset, and the steps that turn intention into action.

Our original November 2025 launch invitation brought the vision of Boss Lady Network into the room.
