WondHER Woman: Yanira Borges

Meet the powerhouse cover girl behind the She Dares Collective - “a safe, inclusive space for women to show up authentically, confidently and get support to do big things.” Her entire life, Yanira (sounds like ya-need-a cup of coffee) Borges, has been surrounded by tribes of women, starting when she was a little girl growing up in the Bronx with a single mom and over a dozen aunties. As our local Wonder Woman, Yanira offers a holistic approach to supporting women. We talk neurodiversity diagnoses, catholic school gazebos, self-confidence, and how basketball is the best sport.

Laura Pommer may have started her career out as a Geologist, but now she’s the CEO of EnergyFunders - a cool company in Houston with unique oil and gas investment vehicles, including Bitcoin Mining. As a female leader in a male-dominated industry, she’s passionate about recruiting and mentoring more women into the industry.

Laura shares her COVID experience, deciding to get divorced on Valentine’s day, buying a fixer-upper (previously owned by a serial killer), running two separate companies, and ultimately changing jobs. She filled a lifetime dream of founding an oil and gas company, and walked away from her dream to take on a CEO role.

Tune in for a fun conversation about being career-driven, traveling abroad, how self care looks different for everyone, and last but not least - my favorite Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream. IYKYK

The FoundHers Club is a podcast where genuine stories of female entrepreneurship are shared, real connections are made for greater impact, and together our voices take lift. All episodes are listed here for your listening pleasure.

Giddy up! It’s Hump Day and that means you’re halfway to Friday. Call your gal pals and find a time to head over to Sarah Castillo’s gorgeous newest addition, Sidesaddle Saloon - where you can enjoy cocktails inspired by the most iconic cowgirls in history.

Follow your dreams. Bad days don’t mean you have a bad life.

“From humble beginnings…come great things.” - Anonymous

It’s pretty wild to reflect on Sarah Castillo’s remarkable journey over the last 15 years. The Taco Heads story began in 2008 as Sarah set out to create a memorable taqueria experience for Fort Worth’s taco lovers. Sarah’s mother, Tinie, dove into their multi-generational family recipes and helped Sarah create a limited, but delicious, taco menu. Before long, Sarah’s little food trailer in the West 7th area of Fort Worth became a popular late-night spot. And in time, the little taco trailer helped grow the company to a point where Sarah purchased a full-blown Food Truck - Fort Worth’s first successful food truck.

Wise words. Never be too good for any job. Never ask of others which you would not do yourself. If we all followed this methodology the world would look a lot different. There would be more empathy, understanding, and kindness.

New episode dropping 🎤 on Friday!!My friend, CHOKE (Creating Her Own Kinetic Energy), is hands down the most mysterious person I’ve ever met. In fact, I don’t even know her real name. Few have seen her face, as she intentionally covers her mouth in photos posted online. CHOKE has a story I had to capture, and I’m thrilled to share our conversation with you. While most of my guests had an inkling what they wanted to be when they grew up, CHOKE swears she exited the womb holding a paintbrush. By the time she became a teenager, she took out a small loan from her father and started selling bulk candy and bus passes from her locker. She used the money to buy paints and began customizing shoes, jeans, and anything she could get her hands on. Mature for her age, CHOKE frequented jazz lounges and nightclubs (along with her camera), pretending to be an event photographer. Music inspired her art, as did travel, and the rest is history. Stay tuned to hear the inspirational journey of a woman and entrepreneur who is 100% authentically herself.

Artist. Painter. Curator. Muralist. Teacher. Founder, Mother. Wife. Chief Creative Officer. These are just a few of the many hats Katie Murray wears as she contributes her many talents to the art and culture of Fort Worth. Dabbling in fashion design, graphic design, and even architecture, Katie discovered her true love – painting. Her unique path set her up for the opportunity of a lifetime, the offer to be the Chief Creative Officer for M2G Ventures, a new company her close college friends established years ago.
✨
Katie shares how her inner critic almost robbed her of the opportunity. “My greatest challenge was overcoming an insecure mind. It took a lot of self-encouraging, more than anything else,” admitted Katie. Join us for another awesome Female FoundHer story that’s authentic and candid.

Dropping Episode #2 🎤
From Fired to Flourishing
⚡️
This story is fascinating!! Diagnosed with dyslexia in third grade, Elyse Dickerson’s parents were told not to expect very much from her. This might have been the first time someone underestimated Elyse, but it certainly would not be the last. Elyse discovered confidence through sports, and this ultimately changed the trajectory of her life. After graduating from Notre Dame, Elyse shares insight on being a female in leadership inside of a large pharmaceutical company. She shares her story of being the only woman in the boardroom, advocating for the advancement of her women colleagues to literally receiving a FedEx letter informing her that she was fired.
⚡️
But this wasn’t the end of her story…tune in to hear how Elyse rebounds to create a successful biotech company where they create amazing products that empower consumers, and put people before their products.
