“Between all of my experiences, I was either the youngest person in the room, the only woman in the room, or the only woman of color in the room,” Natalie Madeira Cofield, founder of Walker's Legacy, said. NBCBLKIgnite
“Between all of my experiences, I was either the youngest person in the room, the only woman in the room, or the only woman of color in the room,” said Cofield.
Cofield initially launched Walker’s Legacy in 2009 to meet her heroes, such as Morgan Stanley’s Vice Chairman, Carla Harris. When she saw the response to her programs — and the same questions about career advancement being asked all over the country by women of color — Cofield decided that Walker’s Legacy needed to go national.
In the past 10 years, Walker’s Legacy has gone national, garnering a $400,000 grant from the Minority Business Development Agency and corporate partners from Google to Paypal. Its nonprofit arm, Walker’s Legacy Foundation, provides financial and professional support for businesswomen of color.
