LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) April 09, 2021 - Today, CROC, Combs Enterprises and Culture Creators are proud to announce the second cohort of its 2021 Empowered Women platform meant to uplift, spotlight, and toast an eclectic and dynamic group of entrepreneurs, creatives, and businesswomen.

Empowered Women was first launched in 2016 by Combs Enterprises women-led executive team. This year, CROC and Combs Enterprises partnered with Culture Creators, a cultural connectivity organization that aims to spotlight the contributions of individuals who have shaped the global view of Black culture.

Making waves across the business, technology, entertainment, and art industries, the April honorees will speak to the importance and intersection of financial literacy and empowerment. Starting on April 5, Empowered Women will begin these financial wellness conversations with female entrepreneurs, CEOs, and more. Over custom CROC cocktails and valuable conversation, the Culture Creators platform will feature exclusive interviews with the April cohort and share personal stories and advice on how to take charge of your financial well-being and succeed.

In speaking on financial literacy, Television Producer, Entrepreneur and April Honoree, Mona Scott-Young shares her mantra, a quote from Dr. C.L. Karrass, in business, as in life, you dont get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate, and adds, but be sure to put in the work to ensure that your worth is never questioned.

Dawn Dickson, Founder & CEO of PopCom and March Empowered Women honoree stresses, Financial literacy is more than learning how to manage, invest, and save money; it is important for us to also be equally focused on the preservation and transfer of wealth. By using instruments, such as trusts, wills, life insurance and family foundations, we can protect our assets and reduce our tax liabilities; this is how generational wealth is established.

Last month, the first round of March honorees were revealed, and three unique founders were showcased in Elle, highlighting the importance sisterhood, mentorship, and allyship had on their journey. The recent virtual Cocktails and Conversations focused on 'Sisterhood.' CROC, Combs Enterprises and Culture Creators will further spotlight honorees through the month of May.

The April honorees are listed below. CROC, Combs Enterprises and Culture Creators invites consumers to celebrate these industry leaders paving the way for future generations.
