Renegade Roundup: 3 Renegades Making and Charting History

We witness people doing extraordinary things every single day here at Renegade. In honor of Women’s History Month, I want you to know about three women who are making—and charting—history as we speak.?

You might know Jessica Yellin as the White House Correspondent turned entrepreneur and founder of News Not Noise. She’s also a Renegade Accelerator graduate who is bringing vital information about the Russia-Ukraine crisis to her 715,000 followers across social media. We’re proud of her and all of our community members who are using their platforms to make the world a better place. Follow her to stay informed.?

ShoulderUp founder and CEO Phyllis Newhouse made history as the first Black female CEO to take a SPAC public on the New York Stock Exchange, not to mention the only woman to win an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of The Year award for technology. In an intimate conversation exclusively for our Renegade Collective members, she challenged every leader in the room to “figure out what your value card is, and play it at every opportunity." It’s a great question for the week: What’s your unique talent? How are you going to play it today??

Noramay Cadena embodies all of these things: teen mom, 3x MIT graduate, aerospace engineer and venture capitalist. In short, she’s one of the most accomplished people I know. This Renegade Collective member joined me on the Why Not Now? podcast to share how she flips difficulty into an “ecosystem of possibility,” builds “muscle memory” for resilience and invests with purpose through Supply Change Capital. Listen. Get inspired.?

P.S. We’re accepting applications for the spring Renegade Accelerator through March 14. Know a woman who would fit right in? Someone who gets into the good kind of trouble? Share our application.?
