Vanessa Santos, founder and media entrepreneur, speaker and latina investor

Founder. Investor. Strategic partner to women who refuse to break themselves apart to succeed.


For women founders, leaders, and visionaries who want to expand their impact without abandoning themselves — and who have the audacity to build with sovereignty.

With two decades of building under my belt, in my world, we build with inner awareness, lead with precision, and measure growth in both profit and self-care.

What happens inside these rooms begins at a cellular level — and the results speak for themselves.

Step Into The Rooms

Latina CEO, community for women of color, community for latinas, community for queer women

Decision Sprint

90 minutes. One session. One shift.

For the woman who's been circling the same decision for months. You know something needs to change — you just can't see it clearly because you're inside it.

You leave with: what's actually in your way, what you want, and your next move.

"This session changed the trajectory of my life."

Business coach and advisor for women of color founders

The Sovereign Architect

6 weeks. Private. The Whole Self.

For the woman ready to stop building from obligation and start building from desire.

Maybe it's a role you've outgrown. A business model that's depleting you. A version of success that looks right but feels hollow.

Over six weeks, we rebuild the foundation so what you build next doesn't require you to erase yourself to sustain it.

“I feel like a completely different person. Ready to have fun and create!”

Ongoing Advisory

For leaders building at scale.

Monthly strategic partnership for founders and executives navigating growth, expansion, or major transitions. You get me in your corner — someone who's scaled, pivoted, and rebuilt.

This is for the woman who doesn't need a framework. She needs a thought partner who's been in the room and will tell her the truth.

Direct access. I'm with you until it's built.

You’re not playing small because you’re unclear. You’re playing small because the world benefits from you being digestible.

The Glow Up Hour

Free. Monthly.

A gathering for women building the dream while honoring the human.

Business talk meets life talk. Founders, leaders, creators — showing up as they are.

Vanessa Santos is a founder, writer, and former CEO who speaks on building without self-erasure, scaling as a woman of color, and the science behind why women thrive when they stop forcing themselves into lanes.

Research shows women are neurologically wired for multidimensional thinking — yet most business advice tells us to "niche down" and shrink. Vanessa's talks challenge that. She speaks on what it actually looks like to build a company, a brand, a life that honors the full scope of who you are.

Two decades of building. Forbes recognition. Kennedy Center honor. Career Pivots. She's not theorizing — she's reporting from the field.
