Summary of Reddix Rules Cohort 3

Driven with a vision and passion to teach and lead women to greatness, the third cohort of Reddix Rules is back and stronger than ever!

Reddix Rules Cohort 3, an entrepreneur grant and training program, launched in May of 2022 to empower and develop 10 women-of-color entrepreneurs. This initiative is led by Dr. Angela D. Reddix, an innovative leader, community builder, successful entrepreneur, and proven entrepreneur coach. After 15 years in business, she is mission-driven to continue to teach, lead, and develop with greater impact.

The Reddix Rules program was initially launched in the midst of COVID-19 to assist black-owned businesses that were brutally impacted by the global health crisis. According to an October 2020 article in Forbes magazine, Black women make up 42% of new women-owned businesses. We will continue creating history by increasing the number.  However, the article also shared the brutal impact of COVID-19 citing 41% of Black-owned businesses had failed, compared to 17% of white-owned businesses.  It’s time to change that narrative and keep WOC-owned businesses flourishing while developing communities. Faced with the possibilities of closing businesses, owners have had to reinvent themselves and or change their trajectory with little or no resources.

Keeping Dr. Angela’s Billionaire Movement top-of-mind, Reddix Rules will transform communities of poverty into communities of prosperity by pushing sustainable businesses to expand the workforce and create jobs. Dr. Reddix is inspired to support 1,000 women of color to become millionaires equating to a value of ^$1 billion in business.

Supporters of Dr. Angela’s Billionaire Movement and Reddix Rules Cohort 3 contribute to this inspirational shift by sponsoring this year’s Reddix Rules Cohort 3. Thank you to Bank of America for being our Diamond Presenting Sponsor for the 3rd Cohort!

What is the Reddix Rules Cohort 3?

The Reddix Rules Cohort 3, brought to you by The ARDX Foundation and ELG Management Group, is a grant and intensive immersive entrepreneur training program intended to assist black women business owners that are ages 40 and forward and their Virginia-based businesses were affected by COVID-19.

Successful entrepreneur and Founder of Reddix Rules, Dr. Angela D. Reddix, practices giving back to women-of-color entrepreneurs. Reddix Rules™ has evolved over the last three years from the original program called the Reddix Rules Fund™ which was established to provide financial support to women-of-color owned businesses during this time of hardship. The 2021 and 2022 Cohorts made pivotal shift that not only offers small women-owned businesses grant funds, but also provides a wealth of knowledge and power! Each participant will be guiding through an immersive entrepreneurship training, mental wellness coaching, and mentorship that will give them the foundational tools needed to effectively run and scale their business.

The three components of Reddix Rules™ consist of an entrepreneurship program, mental wellness resilience coaching, and a $25,000 financial reward following a pitch competition, aiming to help minimize the financial and personal disruptions that many are facing during the pandemic.
