MEET OUR PANELIST: WANDA FRANKLIN! ✨
We are excited to welcome Wanda Franklin to the 5th Annual Black Women & Girls Wellness + Entrepreneurship Expo! 💛
For more than two decades, Wanda built her career creating safe, nurturing, and high-quality childcare environments for families in urban communities.
As a nonprofit childcare director, she became known for something that every successful organization needs:
BUILDING PEOPLE.
Wanda has spent years developing strong teams, mentoring emerging leaders, and creating workplace environments where employees felt valued, supported, and empowered to grow.
After retiring from her director role, Wanda realized that her passion for helping organizations didn’t end — it simply evolved.
Today, she works as a consultant supporting childcare centers, youth programs, and nonprofits as they strengthen their operations, stabilize staffing, and develop retention strategies that better support the people doing the work.
Her approach is practical, relational, and rooted in real-world experience.
Wanda understands that when people are constantly leaving, it’s not always about the people.
Sometimes we have to look at the systems.
The culture.
The leadership.
The workload.
The support.
The environment.
And ultimately ask:
What are we building that makes people want to STAY?
👏🏾 We can’t wait for Wanda to bring her wisdom, experience, and perspective to our panel!
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, childcare professional, community leader, or woman building a team of your own, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
✨ Come ready to learn.
✨ Come ready to connect.
✨ Come ready to grow.
