The league’s commitment to member engagement is evident in its intentionality to create environments that foster meaningful connections and create memorable moments.

These experiences complement the league’s professional and personal programming, offering a well-rounded experience for its members.

A cornerstone of ONE X LEAGUE’s success is its emphasis on kindness and intentionality in membership selection. Founder and CEO, Shadé Akande, highlighted the importance of ensuring that only kind applicants become members, preserving the quality of interactions and experiences. This selective approach extends to membership renewals, which are by invite only, maintaining a high standard of engagement and satisfaction.

ONE X LEAGUE’s impact is further amplified by its high member feedback scores and the ever-growing waiting list for membership. The league’s sold-out events, such as the upcoming Founder’s Space | Fireside Chat with Fawn Weaver, CEO of Uncle Nearest, Inc., underscores its value and appeal, and exemplifies the caliber of thought leaders and speakers who partner with ONE X LEAGUE.

In recent discussions, Shadé has shared insights into her journey with funding and investing in ONE X LEAGUE. She emphasized the importance of intentionality during the early days of selecting limited investors, and made sure they understood the league’s core values and culture. This strategic approach ensured alignment with the needs and experiences of its members.

Shadé’s reflections on maintaining majority ownership highlight the unique challenges faced by Black women founders. Their stories resonate with many founders who prioritize legacy and generational wealth over immediate financial gains.

In conclusion, ONE X LEAGUE stands out in a crowded space, offering unparalleled experiences, support and opportunities for Black and Afro-Latinx women executives and founders.
