A trusted community for women of color building businesses, leading change, and supporting one another along the way.

Ambition has a community.

You bring your ambition.
Bring your whole self, too.

Boss Lady Network brings women together through strategic networking, mentorship, and opportunities for professional and business growth.

Our commitment begins with a safe, supportive space where every woman feels respected and valued. We share challenges openly, recognize achievements, and support each other’s personal and professional goals.

Our beginnings

It started
at the table.

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.

NOVEMBER 2025

The first connection

The network launched with a dinner in Atlantic City, bringing women together around a shared commitment to growth.

APRIL 2026

Reframe to Reclaim
