Our Story

From Virtual Meetups to a Podcasting Journey

In the hustle and bustle of the tech world, where challenges often echoed through the corridors, four remarkable black females found solace, strength, and a sense of community within the virtual walls of The Hustle Takeover.

Tech, HR, and Shared Experiences: It all began during our collective tenure at a tech company, where our paths converged within the realm of HR. As black females navigating the often demanding tech landscape, we craved a space to share our triumphs, trials, and insights. Recognizing the need for a sanctuary, we initiated weekly virtual meetups, seeking to carve out a safe haven for ourselves amidst the digital chaos.

From Small Gatherings to a Thriving Community: What started as intimate conversations evolved organically. Our virtual haven grew, attracting a community of like-minded female professionals who, much like us, yearned for a space where their voices could resonate. Our circle expanded, and the resonance of shared experiences became the heartbeat of our gatherings.

Navigating Change: In a moment that tested our resilience, two of our founders faced unexpected layoffs. Rather than succumbing to uncertainty, we channeled our collective strength into a profound question: How could we continue to be impactful and contribute to the creation of safe spaces in the professional realm?

The Birth of The Hustle TakeOver: Amidst countless conversations, a powerful idea emerged - a podcast that would transcend boundaries, amplify diverse voices, and continue the legacy of the safe space we had cultivated. The name "The Hustle Takeover" resonated deeply with us, reflecting our shared ethos of side hustles, multiple ventures, and an unyielding commitment to professional development.

From Hustlers to Podcasters: With a collective spirit and a mission to create safe spaces through conversations, The Hustle Takeover was born. Our podcast became a beacon, not just for black females in tech but for every professional navigating the intricate dance of career and passion. Each episode is a testament to our shared journey, a celebration of diversity, and an invitation to join the takeover.
