  • From Calling to Impact: Choosing the Nonprofit Path to Make a Difference with Alexis Ramsey

    From Calling to Impact: Choosing the Nonprofit Path to Make a Difference with Alexis Ramsey
    Feb 22 2026
    Have you ever felt an inner pull to do something more meaningful—but didn’t know where to start?

    On this episode of Smart Women Talk, we’re joined by Alexis Ramsey, CEO of We Care Foster Care, for a powerful conversation about purpose, service, and choosing impact over comfort.

    Alexis shares how her global career in education led her back home—and into nonprofit leadership—where she’s working to break the foster care–to–prison cycle and change lives through education, housing, and workforce development.

    If you’re in midlife and feeling the nudge to step into something bigger, this episode will meet you right where you are.
    You’ll hear:
    • How a lifelong commitment to education led Alexis to foster care advocacy
    • Why midlife is often the moment purpose gets louder
    • The hard truths about nonprofit leadership (yes, it’s still a business)
    • What it takes to break the foster care–to–prison pipeline
    • Why fear isn’t a stop sign—it’s part of the path

    If you’ve ever wanted your money to reflect what matters most to you, this episode is a must-listen.

    Alexis Ramsey is the CEO and Executive Director of We Care Foster Care, where she leads efforts to support youth in foster care through education, stability, and long-term opportunity.

    An educator for more than 25 years, Alexis began her career in Detroit Public Schools before spending two decades teaching internationally in Malawi, Africa; Beijing, China; and Hanoi, Vietnam. Her work abroad included roles with USAID, the United Nations International School, and multiple international schools, serving students from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

    Throughout her career, Alexis has helped write two national curricula and has remained deeply committed to a child’s right to quality education. Her work centers on the belief that education must support the whole child—academically, emotionally, and socially—and serve as a foundation for breaking cycles of poverty and instability.

  • How Anyone Can Invest in the Change They Want to See in the World with Marcia Dawood

    How Anyone Can Invest in the Change They Want to See in the World with Marcia Dawood
    Feb 8 2026
    What if your money could do more than sit in a retirement account?

    This month on Smart Women Talk, we’re joined by Marcia Dawood, global leader in angel investing and author of Doing Good While Doing Well, for a conversation that will completely change how you think about investing.

    Marcia breaks down what angel investing actually is (no finance degree required), why women are uniquely wired to be exceptional investors, and how anyone—yes, even with as little as $100—can invest in ideas, founders, and innovations they care about.

    You’ll learn:
    • What angel investing really means (and how it’s different from Shark Tank)
    • Why women founders receive only ~2% of venture capital—and how that can change
    • How to start investing with your values, not just your wallet
    • Creative ways to invest using donor-advised funds, IRAs, and equity crowdfunding
    • Simple, low-risk first steps to explore this world without feeling overwhelmed
    If you’ve ever wanted your money to reflect what matters most to you, this episode is a must-listen.

    Marcia Dawood is an early-stage investor and national leader in expanding women’s access to capital, now championing a bold new message with her forthcoming book, Unapologetic Wealth: Rewrite Your Money Story from Any Beginning (March 10, 2026).

    As Chair of the SEC’s Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee, a venture partner with Mindshift Capital, and chair emeritus of the Angel Capital Association, she has helped rewrite the rules of who gets to build and benefit from innovation.

    She founded the ACA’s Growing Women’s Capital Group and has invested in more than 50 early-stage companies and funds, always pushing for diversity, impact, and financial agency. Marcia is also the award-winning author of Do Good While Doing Well and a TEDx speaker whose work inspires women to step into wealth with confidence and zero apology.

In this episode of Smart Women Talk, host Katana Abbott sits down with Alexis Nataf, founder of Konjo Cruising Indonesia, to explore what happens when you say yes to adventure.
