CEO of DOPE WITHOUT LABELSNeshanta Davis is doing her best to provide women in all “spaces” with the tools to be DOPE”. After a seasoned military career, Neshanta stepped out on faith and decided to dive into the world of fashion. Using best practices, she learned from her military training to fuel her transition to entrepreneurship, Neshanta quickly hit her breakeven mark and exceeded her corporate salary in gross revenue.
