Entrepreneur Lauren Jones Forbes recognized a need for supporting Black women who felt overworked, stressed, and trapped in their daily routines. With a business concept in mind and a strong professional background, Lauren just needed to strengthen her business skills.

That’s where the BPL came in. With the help of the Entrepreneur in Residence program, Lauren launched her new business – Look into Your Life: Transformative Life Coaching for Black Women.
