FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Supporting greater diversity in real estate and entrepreneurship for minority women across the country, the Millionaire Mastermind Real Estate Accelerator Program has successfully concluded its fall 2021 program in partnership with American Landmark, Thinkzilla Consulting Group announced today. Participants learned how to successfully serve as a property manager and leasing professional and gained access to management and leadership skills needed for growth in the real estate and property management industry.
Only four percent of real estate companies are owned by women or minorities, and women represent just over one-third of the commercial real estate industry, according to the Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Network. To expand opportunities for diverse women, the Real Estate Accelerator Program is targeted to women in the Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Florida region but open to women across the country.
"We are incredibly proud of our first cohort of participants who are already breaking through glass ceilings," said nonprofit founder Dr. Velma Trayham. "These entrepreneurs boast an incredible combination of passion and knowledge, and we are thrilled to contribute to minority entrepreneurship growth nationwide."
The program is an arm of the Millionaire Mastermind Academy, a nonprofit organization that helps women business owners strengthen their businesses and impact on the economy while addressing barriers to economic mobility for those who have been systemically and historically underserved. The academy has helped more than 7,000 women nationwide gain the education and training they need to succeed in business.
"We were honored to support these amazing women in their entrepreneurship journey," said Joe Lubeck, CEO of American Landmark. "When you impact one woman's life in a positive way, the ripples can support economic growth, family wellness and community health in turn."
2021 Fall Program participants included:
* Ebony Smith, The Dangerous Beauty
* Jayne' Green, Bud & Blossom Therapeutics
* Joycelyn Wooten, Two Doves Notary
* Kaitlynn Geathers, Opulence Estates
* Ketra Goins, KG & Company Rentals
* Korene Stuart, Opportunity Curator
* LaCheris Luster, Movement Interactive
* Nafeesha Robinson, iHome 360 Corporation
* Tina Banner, Captivate Body Sculpting
The 12-week hybrid program incorporated college-level business training, training in property management and Fair Housing laws, property management apprenticeship opportunities, access to mentors and business networks, and more.
"This program sets you up for success. It teaches you strategic planning. It gives you access to resources, mentorship and a whole network of professionals. That's the power of the program. There is nothing else out there like this program. Learn, grow and excel," noted Joycelyn Wooten of Two Doves Notary.
