Tonya McCornell is the founder of the Making Our Movies Film Festival (MOM Film Fest) as well as a director, producer, writer, and single mom. She’s joined Adrienne in conversation about prejudices moms are currently experiencing, how moms are showing up for their daughters, and how film can be used for sending powerful messages. Tonya also shares a story on how she created the MOM Film Fest to uplift moms, women, and others who feature moms as main characters in their film. Tonya’s work with the New York Women in Film & Television network--NYWIFT both inspired and helped her to launch her dream.

What is She Leads®: The Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs Building to $1 Million and Beyond?
The go-to podcast for women entrepreneurs scaling to $1 million and beyond while building lasting wealth — real talk, no fluff.
Each week, host Adrienne Garland goes deep with bold women entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders across the globe — stripping away the sugar-coating to get at what actually matters for driven women growing their businesses for profit and impact. Adrienne is a Professor at NYU and Rice University, an entrepreneur and advisor, an MBA grad, and that bold business friend who asks the questions other women in business podcasts shy away from.
Topics covered: scaling to seven figures and why it matters for women and the world, funding women-owned businesses, amplifying your voice and visibility, building high-value networks, leadership, designing entrepreneurial ecosystems that benefit humanity, the importance of financial acumen and literacy, and wealth building strategies
Less than 2% of women-owned businesses scale beyond seven figures.
She Leads® exists to change that.
