Ashes N' Roses: The Podcast

By Ashes N' Roses Podcast


We are friends, Entrepreneurs and business partners sharing our journey to-and-through entrepreneurship as young, Black, Haitian women. Throughout our journey, we have found that there is a lack of authenticity and transparency about what it's really like to be an Entrepreneur.

With every episode, we share current, honest reviews of our journey as young, Black Woman Entrepreneurs. We're being open and honest about our ups (Roses), downs (Ashes), and in-betweens. With this podcast, we hope to share valuable information for new and existing Entrepreneurs.
