I’m ChiDubem aka Dubem Menakaya.
For the last four years, I’ve coached and advised underrepresented entrepreneurs with bold visions—those who are ready to rise, lead, and create beyond what they thought possible.
But it didn’t start like this.
For years, I felt like I was performing a version of myself to be accepted in rooms I wasn’t sure I belonged in. I wrestled with self-doubt, overthinking, and the fear of being too much or not enough.
I know what it’s like to want to serve your community and create something meaningful, while quietly wondering if you’re truly built for it.
It was only when I stopped trying to prove myself and started truly being myself, that everything shifted.
Now, after over 2,000 hours of coaching and working with more than 100 leaders, I’ve seen what happens when entrepreneurs stop hiding and start owning who they really are.
Their voice gets louder. Their vision gets clearer. And their results become undeniable.
If you’re feeling the pull to step more fully into your leadership and legacy—I see you. And I’ve got you.
