Ariane Kirkpatrick turned her childhood experience at a protest into a lifelong mission of transformation, empowerment and economic growth.

As the president and CEO of three thriving companies, she is a dynamic leader and community advocate in industries where minorities are often left out — from construction to cannabis.

Her journey is a powerful testament to what can happen when passion meets persistence. Kirkpatrick has built businesses that don't just turn a profit — they create opportunity and equity for others.

Whether you're building your first startup or scaling your next venture, this is an opportunity to learn from a woman who has been through it all — and who still climbs while lifting others.

Audience: Aspiring and established entrepreneurs, business professionals and community change-makers.
