Violette’s Why

“I created Networking In Heels because I believe women don’t just need spaces—they need safe, powerful ecosystems to grow. We’re not just networking; we’re building legacy, confidence, and connections that last a lifetime.”

Attending NIH events has completely changed how I approach networking. I’ve not only made new business connections but found real friendships and mentors who genuinely care about my growth

Networking In Heels helped me get my first round of visibility in the tech space. The exposure and encouragement I received from this community gave me the confidence to pitch investors.

As a creative, I often felt disconnected from corporate women—but NIH created a space where I could connect, collaborate, and grow my fashion brand alongside diverse professionals.

I’ve attended many networking events, but none have been as intentional and warm as those organized by NIH. Every event feels like a safe space to grow and be inspired.

The mentorship I received through NIH helped me reframe my legal career with more purpose. I’ve since joined two boards and launched a community initiative thanks to connections I made here.

I started attending NIH events as a guest and eventually became a vendor partner. The exposure grew my business significantly—now I plan events for some of the very women I met there.

Being part of Networking In Heels opened me up to new clients and collaborations I wouldn’t have found elsewhere. It’s a beautiful sisterhood of support and possibility.
