In 2016, Ameerah Saine, driven by a deep commitment to inclusivity and diversity, established Brunch and Slay, LLC.
Recognizing the significant underrepresentation of women of color in mainstream media, Ameerah, an avid reader, experienced traveler, and dedicated professional, was inspired to create a platform that does more than just recognize women of color; it celebrates their achievements, stories, and unique perspectives. Her vision was clear: to create a space that not only acknowledges but also elevates the voices and experiences of women of color, creating a community of empowerment and inspiration.
What started as a simple idea - a pop-up brunch to bring together local women - quickly transformed into a powerful movement. Brunch and Slay has become a symbol of empowerment, connectivity, and inspiration, lauded for its impact and reach.
The initiative's heart and soul were reflected in the Brunch and Slay Podcast, which earned recognition from Apple as a top business podcast during its run and amplified voices that inspired and drove change.
The podcast's success, coupled with an overwhelming response from top brands, underscored the need for more representation and diversity in the marketing sphere.
Leveraging her extensive experience in marketing and sales with prominent organizations like FedEx and the private college and auto industry, Ameerah Saine recognized this opportunity and harnessed it.
Her expertise and vision have been pivotal in shaping what Brunch and Slay is today: a parent company of two forward-thinking subsidiaries, B A S Media and BENTO Marketing, independent marketing agencies that champion inclusivity and innovation in every campaign and project.
With a keen understanding of the challenges faced by small businesses and startups, BENTO Marketing offers a la carte marketing solutions. It's a testament to our commitment to nurturing growth, fostering creativity, and democratizing access to top-tier marketing expertise.
