Black Business Live Podcast: In-Studio with Dr. Monica Williams

Scaling a Black-owned brand into national retail is a tactical battle. Many founders hit a ceiling at grassroots growth, but Scarlet by RedDrop broke through. This Women’s History Month, we are pulling back the curtain on how to scale from a niche business to a national powerhouse.

We are thrilled to welcome Co-Founder Dr. Monica Williams to the studio. A physician who transitioned from radiology research to the cutthroat world of consumer goods, Dr. Williams and her partners have built a brand that now supports over 1 million girls nationwide.

Join us in-person for this live podcast taping. We are stripping away the fluff to focus on the real-world mechanics of building a category-expanding brand.

• The Mission-Market Fit: How Dr. Williams honed into her medical background to identify a massive void in puberty care, which she converted into a national movement.
• The Capital Play: Discover how the team secured investment and national retail partnerships—including winning the $1 Million Black Ambition Grand Prize—shattering the funding gap where many minority-owned businesses struggle.
• The Retail Blueprint: Scarlet by RedDrop launched in 350+ Ulta Beauty stores and is expanding into mass retail in 2026. Hear the strategies used to secure major shelf space and sustain that growth.
• Impact at Scale: How they continue to manage the operational complexities and leadership shifts required to grow while staying true to the mission.

• Live Q&A: Get your specific scaling questions answered during the recording.
• Strategic Networking: Connect with a room of founders and innovators at the same growth stage as you.
• Actionable Insights: Leave with a blueprint, not just a "success story."

"We are redefining how schools and families approach puberty care." — Dr. Monica Williams
