Is this Newsletter for YOU?

This Newsletter is written for you if:

  • You've been running the business for 4+ years and turnover has stopped moving the way it used to; or,
  • You know you need to stop being the bottleneck, but you don't yet have a clear path for getting out of your own way; or,
  • You're tired of generic business advice written for someone else's context and someone else's experience; or,
  • You're working harder than ever, but your bank balance and energy levels tell a different story; or,
  • You're building something bigger than a job for yourself; and you need the tools and the community that matches your ambition

This newsletter is practical, peer-led, and built for founders who are serious about what they are building.

If this describes you, Welcome.

Every edition covers one of five areas where scaling businesses are won or lost:
  • Systems & Processes - build repeatable ways to sell and deliver - so the business runs even when you step back
  • Money & Pricing - Charge what you're worth, protect your margins and create cash flow you can plan around
  • People & Delegation - Build a team that takes initiative, so you stop being the answer to every question
  • Owner Mindset - Move past impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and the overwhelm of it all - so you lead with clarity and confidence
  • Growth & Vision - Create the strategic direction that turns a good business into a legacy business

Why listen to us?

We are consultants, yes. And we are also founders...

We've sat where you're sitting. The 60-hour weeks. The clients who won't let you step back. The team that creates as many problems as they solve. The revenue that looks fine on paper and feels precarious in real life.

Between us, we have decades of experience as both practitioners and business owners. We know the difference between advice that works in theory and decisions that hold up under the pressure of actually running something.

We also know what is at stake beyond the numbers.

We are role models — and we are passionate, insistent even, on creating more of them.

When a founder from our community scales past the ceiling, it is not just a business win. It is a proof point. A template. A signal to the next generation that it is possible, and here is how.

Who we are - Melanin Rich Founders


Nyasha Gwatidzo

Zimbabwe-born. UK-based. Passionate about what founders from the African diaspora can build when the conditions are right.

Nyasha turned a passion project — supporting émigré African children in the UK — into a thriving business, and then into a billion-dollar investment fund backing female entrepreneurs across Africa. She has lived the full founder journey: from idea to impact, from local to continental. She knows what it takes to build at every stage.

Also: Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Business Growth Strategist, and anchor of the Impactful Billionaire Podcast.


Sola Salako-Ajulo

Media relations specialist, consumer advocate, and former Special Adviser on Communications to the Governor of Ekiti State, Nigeria.

Sola works at the intersection of business reputation and consumer trust — helping founders and organisations understand that how you show up for your clients is not a communications question. It's a commercial one. Her work on consumer rights and brand promise is a masterclass in sustainable business practice.


Lola Soyannwo

Management consultant. 15+ years working with start-ups to SMEs across Power, Agriculture, Healthcare, Media, and IT.

Lola specialises in company structure and process for growth — the operational infrastructure that separates founders who scale from founders who plateau. Trained pharmacist. Co-founder of Healthboxes. She brings both the analytical rigour and the founder's empathy that this work demands.


Ola Molade

Transformational Coach and Speaker. 25+ years in financial services running multi-million pound change programmes. Business owner. Mother. Qualified nutritionist and life coach.

Ola's work is about legacy in the fullest sense: building a business that thrives, leading in a way that is sustainable, and living in a way that doesn't sacrifice your health or your identity along the way. She has supported fast-growing founders to scale — and she has done it herself.
