Leadership isn’t just strategy; it’s mindset, healing, and the courage to grow.

In this episode of The Woman’s Hustle, Coach Kay welcomes Angela V. Harris, founder of 2638 Management Group, who shares her powerful journey from tech professional to purpose‑driven entrepreneur. As a first‑generation college graduate and Black woman in a male‑dominated industry, Angela learned early that resilience and wellness must go hand in hand.

Angela opens up about dismantling the “strong Black woman” myth, embracing vulnerability, and how surviving cancer transformed her approach to leadership and life. She and Coach Kay discuss the importance of community, continuous development, and preparing for the future of work. Angela also shares her bold mission to empower 10,000 professionals by 2030 through coaching and holistic leadership development.

If you’re ready to rethink what modern leadership looks like and how a healthy mind fuels sustainable success, this episode will inspire you to lead with intention, authenticity, and wellness at the center.
