About

My name is Brenda Cole

 I am a business owner, community builder, and connector with a heart for purpose-driven work.

 

I am passionate about bringing people together in ways that create growth, alignment, and meaningful impact both personally and professionally.

 

Rise & Connect was birthed from a desire to create more than traditional networking.

 

I recognized the need for a space where professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders could connect authentically, collaborate intentionally, and grow together without competition or surface-level interactions.

 

Rise & Connect is a community built on collaboration, shared resources, and meaningful relationships. It exists to bring people together with intention, encourage growth, and create environments where everyone has the opportunity to rise together.

 

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.” – Ecclesiastes 4:9
