I've built campaigns for the NFL, NBA, Nike, Airbnb, and Google. I grew a GroupMe chat into a half-million dollar consultancy, then had the courage to close it after 8 years and start over. I earned my Executive MBA while running my marketing and communications agency, got married, and became a mom—each one building on who I am, not replacing who I was. I chose AND over OR—and now I'm showing you how to do the same.
Hi there, I'm Netta Dobbins-Cunningham
About
I started creating content because I was tired of seeing women shrink their dreams when they became mothers. I wanted to show what it actually looks like to pivot AND stay ambitious. To build a business AND build a family. To want more AND be present. To choose addition over subtraction, expansion over limitation, AND over OR.
Career AND motherhood. Ambition AND presence. Success AND fulfillment. This isn't about "having it all" or "doing it all"—it's about refusing the false choice and building a life where you don't have to sacrifice parts of yourself to fit someone else's narrative. You can be a great mom and a driven professional. You can close a successful business and start something new. You can expand, not contract.
I'm passionate about showing ambitious women they don't have to choose
I spent years building campaigns for iconic brands. I launched Minorities in Media Connect after noticing the lack of diversity in the media industry—a GroupMe chat that accidentally became a $500,000/year consultancy that I ran for 8 years. When I knew it was time, I closed it without regret. I launched my marketing and communications agency to get back to strategy and storytelling. I pursued my Executive MBA. I got married. I became a mom.
Each transition expanded who I am. Each chapter added depth, not limitation. Now I'm building a space for women who are tired of choosing between the parts of themselves they love. Through honest product reviews, real talk about entrepreneurship and motherhood, and content that shows the messy, beautiful middle—I'm proving you can have "AND."
