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.
