We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jennifer Capella a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Jennifer , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
The Birth of Women Warriors Collab: My Why & My Vision
As a girl from Brooklyn stepping into New Jersey, I was navigating a new space—both personally and professionally. I was in the early stages of my entrepreneurial journey, trying to find my way into new rooms, collaborating with other women in business, and making meaningful connections. But something felt off.
The spaces I entered didn’t feel genuine—it often felt more about keeping up with each other rather than lifting each other up. I wanted something different. As a makeup artist and hairstylist, I was always in a position to connect people. I realized that I wasn’t just doing beauty transformations—I was also bridging opportunities for my clients. That’s when I knew I could put Women Warriors Collab on the map—because it would be an extension of me.
I wanted to create intentional networking, a space where women would not just see each other’s names but actually help each other grow. A space built on genuine collaboration, not competition. I knew this endeavor was going to be worthwhile because the real magic happens when you stop focusing on what you can gain and instead focus on how you can contribute.
Women Warriors Collab is built on authenticity, inclusivity, and positive energy—it’s a hater-free zone where good vibes only exist. I don’t claim to be solving a problem that no one else is addressing—I’m just doing it my way and staying true to my vision. The right people always find their way to the right spaces, and those who are part of Women Warriors Collab know that it is a space that is real, supportive, and here to stay.
The Most Rewarding Part? Seeing the Growth.
One of the most exciting moments for Women Warriors Collab happened in Year One, when I started to see the impact firsthand. I created the Morning Meetup Growth Group—a space where we start our day early, focus on mindset, and hear from incredible speakers. It was something most people weren’t doing at the time, but it worked because it was built with intention.
I saw women transforming, not just in business but in confidence, clarity, and personal growth. I realized that just by staying true to who I was, I was helping other women step into their power. That kind of impact is priceless.
Women Warriors Collab isn’t just about networking—it’s about building a movement where women truly support, uplift, and celebrate each other. And we’re just getting started.
Jennifer , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Hey, I’m Jenn Michele! 💥
For those who don’t know me, I’m a Brooklyn girl now living in New Jersey, and my journey in the beauty industry has been nothing short of a blessing. I started as a makeup artist, then expanded into hair extensions, and along the way, I’ve had the privilege of working in TV, off-Broadway productions, Fashion Week, and so much more. I am always a 2x Best Selling Author and a Mom of 4.
Beauty has always been my passion, but it also became my gateway—opening doors for me to build an incredible network and, ultimately, to create Women Warriors Collab. This isn’t just a networking group; it’s a movement—a space where women come together to grow personally and professionally, where we believe in collaboration over competition, and where women can feel safe, supported, and empowered in a judgment-free zone.
What sets me apart? I stay true to who I am. In a world where success can change people, mine only pushes me to go harder, dream bigger, and keep building spaces where others can thrive too. I’m beyond grateful for every opportunity that has come my way, and I never take a single one for granted. I believe if you are not called to the stage, we build our own!
To My Beauty Clients 💄✨
When you sit in my chair, know that it’s more than just hair and makeup—it’s about making you feel confident, radiant, and truly like the best version of yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, valued, and completely taken care of. Whether it’s for your wedding, a big event, or just a glam session, I put my heart and soul into every transformation.
Want to Connect? Let’s Make It Happen!
If you’re feeling my vibe and want to step into my world, it’s simple—just message me! 💬 Whether it’s for beauty services, collaboration opportunities, or simply to connect, I’m always open to building genuine relationships—as long as the energy aligns! I believe in helping, supporting, and uplifting as many people as I can, and if there’s a way we can work together, let’s make it happen!
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
Embracing Change: A Journey of Resilience
In the dynamic world of business, especially as a woman entrepreneur, the ability to pivot is not just an option—it’s a necessity. Each chapter of our lives and every phase of growth demands a different version of ourselves. Embracing this evolution isn’t about losing our identity; it’s about honoring our journey and recognizing the hard work that propels us forward.
Embracing Change
Change is often accompanied by discomfort, but it’s within this discomfort that we find the opportunity to grow. By embracing change, we acknowledge our resilience and our capacity to adapt. This mindset allows us to navigate challenges and emerge stronger, more capable, and more aligned with our goals.
Honoring Your Evolution
Every step you take, every challenge you overcome, contributes to your personal and professional evolution. By embracing change, you’re not losing yourself; you’re honoring the person you’ve worked so hard to become. This perspective empowers you to approach new opportunities with confidence and grace.
A Community of Support
At the Women Warriors Collab, we understand the importance of embracing change and supporting each other through transitions. Our community is dedicated to fostering an environment where women can grow, collaborate, and thrive together. By sharing our stories and experiences, we inspire one another to embrace change and pursue our goals with determination.
Your Journey Matters
Remember, your journey is unique, and every change you embrace adds to the richness of your story. Celebrate your resilience, honor your growth, and know that you’re not alone. Together, we can navigate the ever-changing landscape of business and life, supporting each other every step of the way.
How did you build your audience on social media?
Building an authentic audience on social media begins with a simple yet powerful step: just start. Don’t get caught up in the numbers; instead, focus on the quality of your growth. Stay true to who you are, and your genuine audience will follow.
Post with Purpose
Every piece of content you share should have a clear intention. Rather than posting what you think people want to hear, share what resonates with you and aligns with your values. This authenticity will attract like-minded individuals who appreciate your unique perspective.
Consistency is Key
Regular engagement helps build trust and keeps your audience connected. Develop a consistent posting schedule that reflects your brand’s voice and message. This reliability reinforces your authenticity and commitment to your audience.
Engage Authentically
Social media is a two-way street. Respond to comments, participate in discussions, and show genuine interest in your followers. Building relationships fosters a sense of community and loyalty.
Share Your Story
People connect with stories. Open up about your journey, including the challenges and triumphs. This transparency not only humanizes your brand but also inspires and resonates with others.
Remember, authenticity attracts authenticity. By being true to yourself and posting with purpose, you’ll cultivate a loyal and engaged audience that values your contributions.
