A Private Peer-Led Collective for BIPOC Founders

The XCHANGE Community (TXC)

A high-trust, high-impact space where BIPOC entrepreneurs don’t have to prove themselves, perform for success, or exhaust themselves just to belong.

The XCHANGE isn’t just a community— it’s a movement.

The XCHANGE is where revolutionaries go to rest.

Where pioneers go to play.

Where changemakers come to build— not just businesses, but lives that feel as good as they look.

The XCHANGE is a space where BIPOC founders scale in alignment, not exhaustion.

A place where those who blend strategy with soul find their people. We know traditional business spaces weren’t built for us, so we built our own.

Welcome to a community where you can TRULY belong.

At TXC, we believe that business growth isn’t just about strategy, it’s about alignment. It’s about finding a community of peers who get it, who understand that the work we do in the world isn’t just about making money, but about making an impact, building legacies, and creating lives that feel as good as they look.

This isn’t another coaching program, networking group, or traditional mastermind. Nor is it a one-time event where you meet people once and forget them the next day. TXC is a peer-driven collective where members exchange insights, troubleshoot challenges, and expand their businesses through authentic relationships and strategic collaboration.

We formed TXC because we know success isn’t just about money. More than raising revenue, we aim for purpose, legacy, and sustainability built from support and accountability. You shouldn’t have to choose between thriving in business and thriving in life.

Here, you don’t have to prove yourself to belong. You just have to show up, contribute, and commit to growth on your terms.

Be Seen and Recognized.

Welcome to The XCHANGE Community.

JOIN TXC NOW!

We’re selective to build a focused collective

This community is for you if…

You’re a BIPOC entrepreneur already at or near six figures, ready for peer-led support over hand-holding.

You want genuine relationships with other founders who “just get it” where you don’t have to shrink, translate, overly explain yourself, or imitate success just to fit in.

You value collaboration over competition and know that your next win is about the who, not the how. Sustainable scale can’t come from doing everything alone.

You want a trusted circle of peers for thoughtful conversations, solid strategy, and intentional support that helps you scale without draining your resources. Growth should not come at the expense of well-being.

You are ready to invest in long-term success, not just another transactional networking space.

This is for those willing to share their wisdom, expand their business, and build a legacy with fellow BIPOC entrepreneurs who are also on the same journey. Is that you?

YES, COUNT ME IN!

Here’s How It Works

Every week, TXC delivers effective problem-solving sessions and relationship building conversations where you can get much-needed support from a team of empowered entrepreneurs.

Everyone will help you move with clarity and confidence so your business picks up and excels.

1x/ Month Hot Seat Peer Coaching w/ Goal Setting & Accountability Check In

You bring your toughest challenges to the table, and we hit them head-on with strategic peer input. Open up about your business hurdles, and the collective brainpower of TXC will help you break through. You’ll get real-time solutions from people who can relate to your struggles and are qualified to offer advice.

1x/ Month Member-Led Workshop

It’s your turn to share your expertise! Whether you host a workshop or a strategy deep dive, you can discuss your relevant expertise, knowledge, and skills to guide and uplift others as well as gain more visibility for you and your work. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from your fellow BIPOC entrepreneurs and also give back to them, creating a cycle where everyone wins.

1x/ Month Hot Seat Peer Coaching Deep Dives

We switch back with a second round of business troubleshooting. This is your chance to go even further. You can take what we discussed in Week 1 and ask for more guidance or raise another concern you need help with. TXC will tackle each problem you present, so you can push forward without doubts or fear.

1x/ Month Intentional Connection Building Conversation

We wrap up the month with a reflective session focused on sustainability and alignment. Instead of grinding harder, we make sure you’re scaling while staying grounded and true to your purpose. After all, success should feel good. We reset, reflect, and recalibrate so your progress doesn’t come with unnecessary sacrifice.

These weekly events are where strategy, soul, and support combine to help you improve your business minus the stress. You’ll leave each session with a plan, the confidence to execute it, and a group of peers to hold you accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is The XCHANGE Community (TXC)?

The XCHANGE Community (TXC) is a private circle for BIPOC founders who are done with hustle culture and ready to scale in alignment. This isn’t a coaching program or a mastermind where only one voice dominates. TXC is a supportive tribe where you can speak up, strategize, and form relationships that fuel success.

How’s this different from other networking groups?

We’re not here to swap business cards and bounce. TXC is a business village built on strategy, bonds, and collaboration. We share wins, solve challenges, and grow businesses together. This is what it looks like when community actually means something.

Do I have to show up to every weekly call?

Nope. TXC is designed to support your life, not consume it. Show up when it serves you whether that’s weekly or selectively. You’ll still be connected through our online space, where the conversation never stops and the support is always available.

What’s included in my membership?

You get access to everything that makes TXC powerful:

— Weekly live sessions, including peer coaching, business strategy convos, member-led workshops, and rest-centered recalibration

— A private online community (Circle + WhatsApp) for real-time support, collaborations, and connection

— Priority access to in-person retreats and pop-ups where we meet in real life

— Visibility opportunities through workshops, spotlights, and peer referrals

What’s the investment?

We offer options so you can join in a way that matches your budget and your goals:

— $3,000 annual (pay in full, save $564)

— $1,600 for 6 months (pay in full, save $178)

— $297/month with a 6-month minimum commitment

Is TXC really the right space for me?

If you’re asking that question, you’re already self-aware enough to be our kind of person. But to help you decide, we created a short quiz that’ll show you if TXC matches your vibe, your vision, and the season you’re in. Take the quiz to be sure.

How do I join the community?

TXC is invitation-only because we protect the community and its members at all costs. The best way in? Attend an Open House or talk to a current member. When you get a glimpse of the community and think it’s worth it, we’ll walk you through the next steps. Just let us know you’re ready and we’ll open the door. All you have to do is send us a message.

About CONSCIOUS

XCHANGE

Where power meets purpose

We’re always in motion. We intentionally exchange ideas, energy, resources, and time for something better and greater.

But the absolute transformation? That happens when we trade survival for lasting success. When we replace limiting beliefs with liberating ones. When we stop playing small and start building legacies.

At CONSCIOUSXCHANGE, we support both businesses and movements. This work is about power, about helping BIPOC founders and professionals take up space, speak truth, and grow with alignment and impact.

Because your success isn’t just yours… It’s a ripple effect.

It’s personal. It’s professional. It’s also political. And when we rise together with intention and community, we don’t just shift the room… we shift the world.

Meet Team TXC

CARISSA

Founder of CONSCIOUSXCHANGE

Hi, I'm Carissa!

I’m a 2nd generation Filipina American daughter of immigrants and the first in my family and friends to become an entrepreneur.

I created CONSCIOUSXCHANGE because I couldn't find a BIPOC coach or a business community of BIPOC entrepreneurs, especially ones that centered my values as a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, & Belonging professional.

I wanted to be with people who understand what it's like to navigate running a business as a person of color with all the generational barriers as an immigrant or child of immigrants, and without anyone in their social circles to show them the ropes.

So in true Carissa fashion, when you can't find what you are looking for, you build it yourself.

Since starting my business, I've become a sought-after public speaker charging 5-figures for my speaking engagements having spoken at organizations such as Calendly and Eventbrite.

Not seeing a lot of entrepreneurs who look like me and a need for more BIPOC coaches and consultants to share their stories and offer support from their lived experiences, I now teach other BIPOC entrepreneurs how to also start, grow, and scale their own businesses to $100k and beyond.

As a former Director of Operations as well as a certified Emotional Intelligence (EQ) coach, my experience spans across both the operations and human sides of business.

With my consulting hat, I help my clients build spreadsheets, systems, tools, and processes to help them run their businesses more smoothly. With my coaching hat, I also help my clients level up their mindset with EQ tools and practices to help them achieve their big audacious business and life goals.

I truly believe entrepreneurship is the path to liberation and my mission is to help more BIPOC entrepreneurs design and create their own liberatory futures through building their own businesses.

ASHLEY BERNARD

TXC Community Manager

Hi, I'm Ashley!

I'm the eldest daughter of Haitian immigrants, who bucked the expectation of law school to pivot to tech marketing instead, then quit corporate life to jump feet first into entrepreneurship with nothing lined up. I am, in so many ways, my ancestors' biggest dream and my mother's worst nightmare.

I’m also a multi-passionate community catalyst dedicated to using the power of connection to drive meaningful social impact. With over a decade of experience in digital strategy, social media marketing, and community engagement, I specialize in helping purpose-driven organizations align their vision and values to build authentic, impactful communities online and in person.

As a BIPOC entrepreneur myself, I know firsthand the value of networking and communicating with fellow business owners who understand all of the highs and lows in this journey. That’s why I’m so passionate about creating spaces like The XCHANGE Community. When Carissa shared her vision for TXC, I knew in my gut this was where I needed to be. This is the kind of space I’ve always wished for: a peer-driven community where we can be honest about what’s working (and what’s not), get real support, and grow our businesses without sacrificing our well-being.

Here at TXC, I hold the container for connection. From our weekly sessions to behind-the-scenes support, I’m here to make sure you feel seen, supported, and surrounded by people who truly get it. Let’s build something powerful together!
