Kieta Iriarte-Amin is a mother of five to Laila, Rania, KJ, Mpolo Business Solutions & Bmore Empowered; two of those babies are her businesses where she flexes not only her well earned qualifications in the nonprofit sector and degrees a B.A. in Mass Communication + Communication Studies and an M.A. in Nonprofit Management + Women’s Studies both from Towson University but her heart and empathetic disposition toward Black and Brown girls in Baltimore city. Kieta aims to support women to be stronger so that they can be stronger for their families but today she’s here with us to impart her passion for entrepreneurship, empowerment and grant monitoring, which she’ll have you know is much more approachable than it sounds.
