We had the good fortune of connecting with Indi Felder and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Indi, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
One aspect often underestimated by outsiders in our industry is the immense dedication and hard work required to curate events of this magnitude. Behind the scenes, countless hours are invested in meticulous planning, attention to detail, and coordination to ensure every element aligns seamlessly.

From navigating unforeseen challenges to orchestrating complex logistics, the event curation process demands a unique blend of creativity, problem-solving, and resilience.

While the final event may appear effortless and glamorous, the unseen commitment of event professionals is what transforms a concept into a memorable experience. It’s a labor of passion and precision, where success is measured not just by the event’s grandeur but by the countless behind the scenes efforts that make it possible.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I launched Beauties With Brains in 2017, an organization dedicated to empowering women. Established in North Carolina, Beauties With Brains addresses the challenges faced by women, particularly those of color, in accessing prestige, expanding networks, and recognizing their inherent self-worth. Beauties With Brains has evolved into a nationally-recognized brand, inspiring women to realize their full potential, pursue ambitious career paths, and embrace success gracefully. I curate an annual symposium that brings women together from across the country to cultivate skills for self-empowerment and help them excel in business. In addition to this, Beauties With Brains offers seminars, branding courses, and community service opportunities.

In a strategic expansion of my influence, I have ventured into the dynamic realm of branding with the establishment of Indi Felder Branding Agency. This cutting-edge agency is dedicated to providing a diverse array of luxury branding and management services, with the primary objective of elevating brands to their maximum potential.

Within the context of my overall brand, the excitement for the future is a source of genuine anticipation. What lies ahead is a direct outcome of the steadfast dedication I’ve committed and the substantial connections I’ve fostered. Now, the time has come to showcase the profound impact that Beauties With Brains has made. This forward momentum is a testament to the collective effort and meaningful relationships that form the essence of my brand. I am eager to demonstrate to the world the significance and influence that Beauties With Brains embodies.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
All my girls know I don’t do clubs, so first things first brunch is a must. I love a good hidden gem, or a mom & pop breakfast place. Next, we would hit buck head shoppes for a little shopping, spa day at the St. Regis, & end the night with a luxury dinner at Little Alley Steak. I’m pretty simple haha!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to express my sincere appreciation and dedicate this shout-out to my parents. Their unwavering support has been a cornerstone in every endeavor I pursue. Their guidance, encouragement, and belief in my abilities have been invaluable, shaping the person I am today. Here’s to the incredible foundation they’ve provided, allowing me to reach new heights and always pushing me to exceed expectations.
