DR.VELMA'S STORY

CEO, ThinkZILLA Consulting Group
Founder, Millionaire Mastermind Academy, INC

Velma’s desire to inspire other women, especially those from her community, comes from her own story of success. She was born in extreme poverty in Houston, Texas. She overcame the odds by altering her different mindset and leaving her hometown to follow the voice of God. Velma realized the need to help other people overcome the same barriers that once stood in her way – as an African American and as a woman.  Since 2017, Velma’s non-profit economic empowerment program, Millionaire Mastermind Academy, has mentored more than 5,000 brave and bold female entrepreneurs to become successful in their industries. The academy has sparked, and spearheaded events and courses designed to alleviate the plight of women, and to provide a roadmap to use entrepreneurial success as their way out of poverty. Velma is passionate about igniting hope and inspiring millions of women worldwide to be involved in entrepreneurship.

Velma’s personal and professional achievements have not gone unnoticed, and through the years she has been awarded:
