Let's Talk about her labels...

Zollyann is a mother and spent over a decade as a classroom teacher before deciding to embark on the journey of becoming an entrepreneur. After receiving her bachelor’s in communications from Saint Peter’s University, instead of working in journalism, she decided to become an Educator. Becoming a teacher was one of her proudest moments in life.

What started out as a one-time service project at a women’s shelter in New York City in 2012 organized by Zollyann and several college friends to provide support to women and children in need, sparked her passion for wanting to do more and led to the birth of her Non-Profit mission Zee Gives Back and Zee's Virtual Library. Since then, Zollyann has made it her personal mission to continue to cater to women and children in need by providing support and resources to as much women and children as she can in her community.

After resigning from her full-time teaching career in early 2020, Zollyann has went on to published several books and several children's books, which includes my most recent children's Title “My Momma’s Glasses” which can be found on Amazon and Barnes and Noble officially claiming her “label” as Author.

Zollyann has also successfully launched a Fashion Brand called BAE & Co. and breaking barriers being the first and youngest African American to open a brick-and-mortar retail clothing store in one of the largest malls in Lake County, FL which she closed permanently 4 years after to focus building and expanding her Learning Academy.

Over the past three years, Zollyann has had the privilege of empowering countless women to gain the clarity and confidence needed to take bold action toward their dreams and achieve their goals. She has shared her message on powerful stages, including serving as a TEDx Speaker at TEDxBronx in NYC, where she inspired audiences to embrace their journey and celebrate the beauty of transformation.

In addition to her work as a speaker and business strategist, Zollyann proudly serves as a mentor through the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, guiding emerging entrepreneurs toward sustainable success. Her commitment to growth and leadership is reflected in her completion of several prestigious programs such as Women’s Entrepreneurship at Cornell University.

Through her coaching, mentorship, and programs, Zollyann continues to teach, inspire, and equip women nationwide to embrace their authentic selves, overcome barriers, and confidently pursue the life and business they were meant to create.
