With The Belle Evolution, Jessica Ndenda has created a safe and inclusive place for female business owners to share their challenges. Small talk is banned, and women are encouraged to be vulnerable with each other and speak freely about their business. It's a surefire way to really connect and build a strong network of supportive women to help you rise about the tough stuff and celebrate your success.

These events are so incredible and Jess has really built an amazing, genuine, and supportive community of inspiring women. It's a rare thing to find a group that is so honest and willing to have conversations about their challenges, but The Belle Evolution is it.

Jess I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for a fantastic evening. As a business owner entering into my 5th year I walked away feeling incredibly motivated with plenty of food for thought something I've recently struggled with. Connections were made, conversation were had and I can't tell you how much I needed it! Looking forward tot he next one.

I have been searching far and wide for a community for female business owners and entrepreneurs where I can learn and connect and grow and I am so glad I found The Belle Evolution. What started with hiding in the corner in their monthly networking events (that are very un-networky) and attending The Belle Academy Productivity & Sales workshop that was facilitated by Jess (I'm generally an organised person but M.I.N.D.B.L.O.W.N.) the genuine community and connection that The Belle Evolution creates is like nothing I've ever experienced and I'm in awe and totally here for it.

Attending The Belle Evolution has radically changed the way I think about running my own small business. I started attending in 2020, purely to support my friends who were apart of the Belle community. Back then, I had no real desire to branch out and start my own business, simply because I was too scared. Just thinking about running my own business felt overwhelming - where to start, what to do, who could guide me? But after attending a few events, I quickly and easily found myself incidentally making friendships that were also valuable business connections. My confidence grew as I saw other Belle women go through the paces of building their own empires. I listened to their unfiltered experiences of what it’s truly like running a business as a female and received genuine encouragement for me to do the same. Fast forward to today, I’ve finally(!) decided to take the leap and turn my passion of graphic designing into a business. I may not have all my ducks in a row, however I know that being apart of this incredible community, I’ve got the right support, knowledge and love around me to thrive
