This week on Keep It Positive, Sweetie, I'm joined by the powerhouse herself — multi-hyphenate entrepreneur and co-founder of The Fearless Fund, Arian Simone.

From sitting at the feet of legends like Coretta Scott King and Rosa Parks as a young girl, to being crowned a real-life Ivorian Queen, Arian's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Her story is bold, brilliant, and deeply inspiring. Grab your pen and paper — class is in session. You're about to be educated, empowered, and reminded of the power of purpose.

Fearless Fund's cofounder Ayana Parsons has resigned from her role as general partner and COO to "enjoy island life" with her family, announced in a LinkedIn post. Parsons cofounded the venture capital firm in 2019 with Arian Simone, who remains CEO. Fearless Fund focuses on financing, grants, and education for startups led by Black women, an underserved demographic that received less than 1% of all VC funding in 2023, amounting to 661 million dollars out of 136 billion. Fearless Fund has invested 26 million dollars in over 40 companies like Slutty Vegan and The Lip Bar. The fund faces a legal challenge from the American Alliance for Equal Rights, which argues that its grant program for Black women entrepreneurs violates the Civil Rights Act of 1866. An appeals court upheld a preliminary injunction against issuing these grants. Despite the legal challenges, CEO Simone reveals the fund has lost most partnerships except with JPMorgan and Costco. Parsons, in her LinkedIn post, reaffirmed her commitment to supporting women of color entrepreneurs, highlighting the rapid rate at which they are starting businesses but lacking access to capital.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit has blocked the Fearless Fund, a Black-owned venture capitalist firm, from issuing grants exclusively to Black women entrepreneurs. The court ruled that the fund's grant contest likely violates Title 42 of the U.S. Code, which prohibits racial discrimination in contracts. The decision halts the fund's grant application process and marks a win for anti-affirmative action legal strategist Edward Blum. Arian Simone, CEO of the Fearless Fund, expressed devastation at the ruling, stating that it sends a message that diversity in corporate America and education should not exist. She vowed to continue the fight for economic opportunity for women of color, who received less than two percent of venture capitalist money. Rev. Al Sharpton, President of National Action Network, blasted the decision, calling it another blow to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, and emphasized the importance of standing with the Fearless Fund and all women of color entrepreneurs in the face of right-wing legal challenges.

Welcome home y'all! This week, hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum cover the TikTok ban, which overwhelmingly passed the House and awaits Senate action—why is it happening? The ACLU says the legislation violates the first amendment, Donald Trump is wavering, even though he was actually the first high ranking official to propose a ban on TikTok. Joe Biden said he'd sign the bill into law. The hosts offer their takes. In election politics, no surprises— Trump and Biden officially clinched the nomination. The hosts do a deep dive into what a Trump versus a Biden presidency would look like by examining each of their proposed budgets as President Biden just dropped his off to Congress on Tuesday! There's also an update on Trump's racketeering case in Georgia. That case could be affected by an impending Supreme Court Case that will decide if Trump enjoys broad “presidential” immunity for crimes committed while he was president. More on that in this and a later episode… Finally, the hosts will answer your questions, and give an update on the former State's Attorney, Marilyn Mosby. You can find her Go Fund Me page by clicking here, and we'll update this description with info on the March 23rd rally later this week.

The first woman of color owned venture capital firm, Fearless Fund, is stepping into Miami Federal Appeals Court Wednesday. Their mission? To challenge a court order stopping them from giving grants exclusively to women of color. This legal tussle pits Fearless Fund against the American Alliance for Equal Rights, an organization led by far-right activist Edward Bloom. Arian Simone, the co-founder and CEO of Fearless Fund, says they aren't backing down. In August of 2022, Bloom sued Fearless Fund over their grant program, saying that they were practicing reverse discrimination by excluding non-Black applicants. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta responded by hitting pause on the program until the lawsuit's conclusion. But this isn't just about this program. Many Black business leaders are worried that these legal challenges could roll back years of efforts to level the playing field. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When I started my first “big boy” job, I signed up for our 401K program. HR handed me this packet of papers and essentially said good luck.I remember sitting at my kitchen table that night trying to make sense of fund names, historical yields, and asset allocation charts.Nothing will make you realize school did not prepare you for the real world like that kind of moment. I remember thinking, wow I'm never going to understand this. When I have money, I need to hire someone to make these decisions for me.But I didn't need a pricey advisor or even fancy software. I needed financial education so I could feel comfortable and confident in my choices.I thought it was going to take decades of experience or even having to go back to college to get a degree in finance but once I got serious, it only took me about a year of learning and practicing before I felt like I could handle the money choices that life threw at me.Today's guest would argue that with her guidance, you'd only need 90 days to master your money and after getting to know her, I believe it.In her early 20s, Mills Bender was lost when it came to money. So lost that she woke up one day with $1.50 in her bank account. Mills started to demystify and understand the different facets of money. Now she helps others do the same through her financial coaching business, Mills Knows Bills.In this conversation, we cover a lot of money concepts including the cost of delaying investing, the 4 money mindsets, and creating a budget that reflects your priorities.

This week on the She Did That. podcast we're chatting with Arian Simone, the Co-Founder and General Partner of Fearless Fund - the first VC fund by women of color for women of color - and a serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, angel investor, author, and PR & marketing specialist. Arian received her MBA from Florida A&M and shortly after was laid off from her first job, and a few weeks later found herself staring at over 150 rejection letters from numerous companies she'd hoped would hire her. For seven months Arian lived in her car, selling clothes for gas and food money until she decided to stop waiting on others to see her potential and took matters into her own hands. Since then, she managed to go from the bottom to the top - pioneering and growing a successful PR and marketing firm (with billion-dollar corporate clients such as Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, and more), authoring of multiple best-selling books, founding Fearless Magazine and the Fearless Platform in 2010, with a mission of inspiring millennial, entrepreneurial women of color. Now, with Fearless Fund, she has gained the confidence and multi-million dollar investments from the likes of PayPal, J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, and Costco, and partnerships with industry leaders such as Mastercard and Steve Madden. Produced by Dear Media

Arian Simone has the kind of infectious, feel-good attitude that makes it impossible to stay in a funk. It's almost necessary to have that sort of approach when you're working to change the numbers in venture capital funding. Arian's company, Fearless Fund, invests in businesses founded by women of color, a group that receives less than 1% (!!!) of all VC funding, despite the high percentage of founders who fall into this category. Never one to shrink from a challenge, Arian knew early on in her entrepreneurial journey that she would someday become the type of investor she was looking for. Her potent potion of gratitude, conviction and confidence has opened doors where others would surely fear to go. Now, through Fearless Fund, Arian supports the goals and determination of fellow women of color, creating jobs, wealth and legacy one founder at a time. Thanks for listening!

Today's show reviews some of the best discussions related to money mindset in 2020. The way we think is so much of where our financial reactions and decisions arise. How to develop a healthier mindset to help you make better money choices? Conversations with Arian Simone, Morgan Housel and Leisa Peterson.
Arian Simone knows what it’s like to experience financial highs and lows. She went from being abruptly fired, forced to live in her car, and living off food stamps to becoming a philanthropist and running her own venture capital fund. Her book, The Fearless Money Mindset, is like a booster shot of optimism and can help transform how you look at your finances. Her book The Fearless Money Mindset provides a close-up view inside the life of Arian detailing her life lessons, business wins, and humorous adventures that have impacted her personal and professional journey. Arian's open transparency illustrates that a simple shift in perspective can ultimately move you closer towards achieving what's possible. “Many people have more fear in being broke, rather than faith in having abundance,” says Simone. Her journey is one of perseverance, business savvy, and faith. And it’s a testament to believing that when your luck is down, it’s only temporary — an essential reminder this year.
Arian is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, investor, best-selling author, international speaker, and PR & marketing specialist! Her new book is the "Fearless Money Mindset: Broke Doesn't Scare Me" and she has also written "Fearless Faith + Hustle: 21 Day Devotional Journey" for female entrepreneurs. I speak with Arian about her venture capitalist firm, the Fearless Fund, which invests in women-of-color owned businesses! When Arian found that women of color owned businesses were invested in only .005% of the time, she knew she had to do something. She is now partnered with PayPal, among MANY others!
I'm hopping on the other side of the mic for this episode. I had the honor of having a conversation on the Fearless Podcast with Arian Simone. In this episode, we are discussing what it looks like to go after your dreams fearlessly. Charisa Munroe (Myles Monroe's daughter) and I share our journies of following our passion, purpose, and how we ended up doing exactly what they love. So many nuggets in this episode.

Presented by Mastercard Fact: Businesses with Women of Color and Black female CEOs get less than 1% of all VC funding every year. And when you consider that $85 Billion of VC funding was raised in 2017, the glaring inequality becomes very clear. However, Arian Simone is breaking the VC ceiling, stacking the odds back in her favor, and putting the dollars into the businesses who need it most with the Fearless Fund, a $5 million fund that invests exclusively in early-stage businesses run by women of color. The serial entrepreneur knows a thing or two about hard work, too. After being laid off from her job after graduating college, Arian went from living in her apartment to out of her car for almost a year. She eventually went on to build a successful PR and marketing firm from the ground up where she promoted Blockbuster films such as 007: Quantum Solace and worked with major companies from Sony Pictures, to Walt Disney Pictures. In this week's episode, Jaclyn chats with the fearless entrepreneur on how she built multiple companies from scratch, how she’s tackling inequality in the VC world, and how Women of Color can get access to capital.

Today's interview is my inspiration! The very first female entrepreneur I ever followed on social media was Ms. Arian Simone. She has no idea, but her vulnerability and “never take no for an answer” type of confidence led me to believe I could too become an entrepreneur. She shares with us how she went from being broke in LA trying to make a way and sneaking herself into the BET awards just 11 years ago to becoming the founder of Fearless Magazine and throwing parties and running PR for the same celebrities she once snuck in to see. Her story is one of my favorites, she even talks about name dropping someone in an interview that she didn't even know. Arian now has a clothing line, a magazine, two books, and hosts numerous women's conference each year to empower other women to take control of their own destiny by being fearless in their pursuit.

Arian Simone, a Cool Soror of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. joins the show today and she is definitely the epitome of FEARLESS. The Detroit, Michigan native knows the essence of what hard work looks like. She epitomizes it. A fun, fly, fabulous and fearless entrepreneur; Arian has been blessed throughout her career and continues to inspire others to live their dreams! Upon graduating college, she was laid off from her job and went from living in her apartment to out of her car; she was without a home of her own for almost a year until she was sought out to do Public Relations and Marketing independently in Los Angeles. Building a successful PR & Marketing firm from ground up, she established great relationships in the entertainment industry. She is credited with doing publicity and promotions work on films such as Ride Along, Limitless, Act of Valor, Takers, Quantum of Solace, Hancock, This Christmas, Stomp The Yard, and many more. In 2010, she launched FEARLESS Magazine with cover girls such as Khloe Kardashian, La La Anthony, Meagan Good and more, serving as a platform for others to share their fearless journey. Fearless Magazine later evolved into FEARLESS Discussions - transparent conversations about real topics affecting today’s society and pop culture. She is relaunching the brand in November 2017 with a conference in Atlanta. Arian Simone knows the value of stepping out and doing everything it takes to be successful. She does it effortlessly and just when the road may be weary, she inputs another cartridge to make certain that her FEARLESSNESS IS RELOADED.

The Fearless Fund, known for its investments in notable businesses like Slutty Vegan and Live Tinted, is now in the spotlight as it faces a lawsuit challenging its grant program aimed at supporting Black women entrepreneurs. Situated in Atlanta, this venture capital firm has dedicated $27 million to around 40 enterprises led by women of color since 2019, alongside granting an additional $3.7 million.Arian Simone, the co-founder of the Fearless Fund, stresses the dire need for systemic alterations to bridge the racial and gender disparity prevalent in venture capital financing.This unfolding legal battle commenced with a lawsuit from conservative activist Edward Blum.
