KatalystEDU: Where Learning Meets Liberation.

Kiko's Solopreneur Journey
A few years ago, when I struck out on my own, I learned fast: no one does this alone. Every step forward has been shaped by mentors and colleagues who showed up when I needed them.
I still remember how lost I felt in those early days — until I met Kamilah Martin, founder of the Katalyst Mastermind Community. For the first time, I was surrounded by people who got it. Honest feedback, real answers, a sounding board when I needed one most. No question was too basic, and the support I found there? Unquantifiable. It still carries me.
That's why I'm fundraising for Katalyst's new learning platform, KatalystEDU — a Master Class for women solopreneurs, built to put the lessons, insights, and hard-won skills of expert entrepreneurs into more women's hands, backed by a real community. Kamilah needs our help to get it off the ground.
If you believe in mission-driven women building limitless things to make the world better — or you just want to back the community that's backed me — I'd be grateful for your contribution. No amount is too small. And if giving isn't possible right now, passing this along to someone who can would mean just as much.
With gratitude,
Kiko
