I was a church kid. Some of my safest memories are overnight lock-ins — sleeping bags on the fellowship hall floor, too many snacks, and the kind of honest late-night conversations that only happen when the doors are closed and nobody is performing.
That warmth mattered, because home wasn’t always easy. A difficult childhood taught me early how to read a room, how to keep going, and how much it means to have people who actually show up.
Then I walked into professional spaces where being sharp, vocal, and visionary got me labeled “too much.” I was othered, talked over, and pushed around. I could have shrunk. Instead, I built.
ninetwofour and MMBOB are the rooms I wished existed — places where women entrepreneurs use hard data, clean operations, and honest sisterhood to build businesses nobody can ignore. The FoundHer Lock-In is that room, for one unforgettable day.
