In this episode of The 4% Amplified, we’re tapping into one of the most transformative forces for underrepresented minority creatives and entrepreneurs: community—and why building our own intentional spaces is no longer optional, but essential.

Your host, Sunni, sits down with two incredible guests:
Natesha Mortimer, Founder of Data Swale.
Doneil Chapman, a freelance frontend software engineer.

Together, they explore what it means to create spaces where connection, mentorship, and shared resources aren’t just possible—they’re powerful tools for resilience, growth, and liberation.

This is a heart-centered, real-world conversation about shifting from isolation to collective strength. Whether you’re building a startup, launching a creative project, or simply navigating a system not designed for you, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insight.

You’ll learn:
Why “it takes a village” is more than just a saying—it’s a survival strategy
How mentorship within our own communities can bridge systemic gaps
The value of sharing knowledge, vendors, and funding opportunities openly
How shifting from a scarcity mindset to collaboration fuels long-term success

This isn’t just about having a seat at someone else’s table—it’s about building our own.
