“Leading Brilliantly from a Love Ethic”
Every single day that I wake up I decide to do the work from a place a love. Love for myself, my son, and love for those whom I choose to serve – and those who have decided that they will follow my lead. In this talk, I’ll discuss how I made a conscious choice to quit my full-time job and work for Black women – not because it was something I had always dreamed about doing, but it was paying attention to what Black women were asking of me. Loving the community I serve led me to my purpose and the opportunity to lead brilliantly!

About Sabrina Madison
After working a traditional 9-5 since forever, I decided to leave my well-paying job to work full-time for Black women and families. In 2016, under my brand name Heymiss Progress, I created the quickly sold out Black Women’s Leadership Conference – the premier conference for Black women across WI seeking opportunities to expand their leadership potential. Thanks to the vibe created at the first conference I went on to create a Black Business Expo and a Black youth conference. In 2017 I decided to launch the goal to create the Progress Center for Black Women, with the mission to create more Black women who are leaders, doers, and owners! On November 3rd, we opened the doors to our first home in Fitchburg, WI!
My list of accolades includes Best of Madison Business 2019, Essence Magazine’s Woke 100 Women, Madison Magazine’s M List, BRAVA Woman to Watch, Madison365 Most Influential African Americans, InBusiness Magazine Most Influential People, Urban League’s President’s Rising Star Award and more!
My work has been featured in the press across the country including Essence, Blavity, and Next City.
I’m the mother to a brilliant young man who has been my day one since his day one.
