Stilettos & Strategies exists to create beautiful, purposeful, and practical spaces where women can connect, learn, reset, collaborate, and grow.
What We Believe
We believe women need more than inspiration. Women need strategy. Women need rooms that understand their ambition and their exhaustion. Women need spaces that honor both their brilliance and their real lives.
We understand that creating community and support around these truths empowers women to great lengths. That is why Stilettos & Strategies was created.
Our Mission
To create a collaborative network of enterprising women who connect, collaborate, and grow together—through shared learning, coaching, and community—culminating in an annual conference that showcases their collective progress, impact, and personal growth.
Our Founder
Founded by Nu Epps, Author/Entrepreneur and powered by Esyntial Elements Consulting, Stilettos & Strategies brings together the heart of women’s empowerment with the structure of strategic planning, business development, and community-centered execution.
Through conferences, mixers, brunches, workshops, and online experiences, we help women move from ideas to action, from isolation to collaboration, and from survival mode to strategic momentum.
Our Pillars
Community Is Greater Than Competition
We create rooms where women connect without comparison and build together without insecurity.
Depth Is Wealth
We center real conversations, practical tools, honest support, and clear next steps that actually move you forward.
Resting and Rising
We honor the full woman - her need for rest, her right to rise, and everything she holds in between.
Femininity and Focus
We celebrate feminine power, personal style, ambition, and the discipline to follow through.
Our Audience
This collective is for the woman who:
- Knows she’s capable of more, but refuses to lose herself in the process
- Values alignment just as much as achievement
- Is ready to be in rooms where collaboration replaces competition
- Wants both elevation and ease
