AAPI Heritage Month Spotlight: Health-Ade Co-Founder Vanessa Dew
If you know me, you know how passionate I am about celebrating female entrepreneurship. I love to share stories of business owners who have overcome obstacles, navigated career pivots, and embrace their voice with confidence.
Vanessa Dew, the Co-Founder, and CSO of Health-ade (Kombucha) shares how she navigated her career journey while embracing her true voice and family heritage. In Part One of my three-part series, Vanessa admits that at a young age she was a “denier” of her roots. It wasn’t until her later college years that she had a ‘come to Jesus’ moment that inspired her to love her rich heritage and consciously decided to use it to inspire her success. In the next two episodes of our series, we talk about her career pivot, how Health-ade was born, and so much more! Stay Tuned.

Q: “WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TONIGHT?” A: “IDK...what do you want to do?” Everyone knows THAT annoying question that always rears its ugly head on date night, girls' night, or even a happy hour with coworkers. In my humble opinion, the best part of any relationship is spending quality time doing things that make you happy, right? Jordan Scott, Founder, and CEO of the Cobble app set out to help make your "fun planning" easier. Watch this video and you will never have to stress over planning date night again!!

Vanessa shares that her parents preferred a traditional career path for her, however, at the heart of it, she felt unfulfilled. Vanessa always had an entrepreneurial spark from the time she was young so she felt the next best thing to working in a lab was working at a pharmaceutical company...
