#OpenForMentorship
In 2018…
BRICC started with one mentor and 3 mentees. A seed was planted for women on untraditional journeys on their way to entrepreneurship, climbing the corporate ladder, and taking up space in emerging industries.
Today…
And three cohorts later, BRICC is a non-profit collective of multidisciplinary women mentoring women facilitating experiential learning, self-discovery, and life-changing experiences.

FAQs
What is The BRICC Foundry?
We are a collective of women, Building Resources Inspiring Change in our Community (BRICC)!
Our mission is to mitigate socio-economic disadvantages while helping women navigate the very real glass ceilings we face.
The BRICC Foundry is a direct response to staggering underrepresentation & uneven playing fields that affect women in business, startups & technology spaces. Many companies often overlook the realities of women, who face great obstacles and receive the least support. When companies take a one-size-fits-all approach to advancing women, especially those of color, we end up underserved and left behind.
Founded by Lauren Satterfield, BRICC is influenced by her experiences in Corporate America. Working for AT&T, the largest communications company in the world, Lauren has a decade of experience in the telecommunications, technology, and Internet industries, managing teams, and driving best-in-class results. She is passionate about increasing the presence of black, indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) into executive positions.
How is BRICC inspiring change for our community?
The BRICC Foundry promotes the BIPOC perspective, provides mentorship and access to resources. We counsel, goal set, and create resume building experiences for owners, students, and professionals across levels.
We provide:
1:1 coaching
On-line development activities and funding
Access to real work experience with real clients
Professional resume services and mock interviews
BIPOC advocacy and counseling to organizations and
businesses
What is the Unreasonable Woman campaign?
“Progress depends on the unreasonable woman. Give her a place to stand, and she will move the earth.” – Lauren Satterfield
The Unreasonable Woman campaign is about disrupting the status quo. Throughout history, women have had to be innovators and disruptive thinkers to advance in the workplace, overcome micro-aggressions, unmask biases, and penetrate male-dominated industries. Our vision is to celebrate their voices by highlighting bold women and their unconventional ways to leadership and success.
The BRICC Foundry wants to celebrate everyday women doing extraordinary work.
