Welcome to
She Speaks CEO
She Speaks CEO is a dynamic women-in-leadership networking organization and professional membership association designed to inspire, connect, and support women in leadership executives, entrepreneurs, founders, and those aspiring to ascend to the C-suite across various industries, especially those where women in leadership roles are an underserved demographic. We aim to provide a platform and space for women in leadership to share their stories, gain valuable insights, and foster a community of empowerment and growth.
Our organization is dedicated to promoting gender equality, leadership development, and the advancement of women in business. We are committed to creating opportunities for women, especially those from underserved or marginalized communities, to thrive, lead, and make a lasting impact in their respective fields.
By fostering a network where women can share their experiences of scaling the professional ladder, we can eliminate the isolation often felt in trailblazing roles as leaders, founders, and entrepreneurs. This sense of community becomes a foundation for building meaningful relationships, strategic partnerships, mentorships, and sponsorships, ultimately cultivating an ambitious and authentic environment where women in leadership can thrive together.

At She Speaks CEO, we believe in the potential of all women to embrace their authentic selves, carve their own path, and influence positive change in the world.

Meet The Founder
Priscilla Nakane is a trailblazing entrepreneur, business and public relations strategist, and advocate for diversity, equity, and belonging. With over two decades of experience navigating the executive ranks as a woman of color, she intimately understands the challenges and isolation that often accompany the journey to leadership for BIPOC and underserved women from minority groups. Her own journey—marked by determination, resilience, and hard-won success—fueled her passion for creating a platform that uplifts and empowers women who, like her, have faced systemic barriers in their climb to the C-suite. As the founder of She Speaks CEO, Priscilla is committed to leveling the playing field for women, especially those from from underserved communities. Her mission is to provide the resources, mentorship, and professional network often reserved for the privileged few, so that ALL women attain the confidence, skills, and connections they need to thrive in executive leadership roles. She envisions a world where women from all backgrounds are supported, celebrated, and equipped to shatter glass ceilings. Under Priscilla's leadership, She Speaks CEO is more than a membership organization—it’s a movement. Through curated mixers, professional development opportunities, mentorship programs, conferences, and leadership retreats, the platform fosters a dynamic and inclusive community where women can learn, grow, and scale their careers to unprecedented heights. Priscilla’s vision is not just to open doors but to remove barriers entirely, ensuring the next generation of female leaders has the tools they need to succeed and the allies to champion their rise. Priscilla’s innovative approach to leadership and her unwavering dedication to fostering equity have earned her accolades as a respected thought leader in business and beyond. Through She Speaks CEO, she is building a legacy of empowerment, proving that when women rise, (especially those from marginalized backgrounds), they take their communities with them—transforming industries and rewriting the rules of leadership.
