Philadelphia Consultant Builds a Sisterhood of Entrepreneurs Through Pitch Coaching and Business Storytelling

By Kendra Hall

PHILADELPHIA, PA — In a city rich with history and hustle, one woman is rewriting the future for small business owners—by helping them find their voice before they find investors.

Taja Morris, founder and CEO of Sisters With An Agenda, has built more than a consulting company. She’s built a village: a growing network of women entrepreneurs who are learning to tell their stories, refine their pitch, and show up with clarity in competitive business spaces.

“I want for my sisters what I want for myself,” Morris said. “We all deserve the tools to grow—and the community to grow with.”

More Than Coaching: A Movement of Growth and Collaboration

Sisters With An Agenda offers business development services to small business owners, particularly women, with a focus on brand storytelling, pitch development, and effective networking. But the heart of the company is community.

Each program is designed to create what Morris calls a “collaborative transformation space”—where women not only refine their businesses, but also evolve personally. She believes growth in business is rooted in self-awareness and support systems.

“You can’t pitch your brand if you don’t believe in your own story,” she said.

Summer Masterclass Bridges Storytelling and Strategy

This summer, Morris will lead the Pitch Development and Brand Story Masterclass, a three-part series designed to give entrepreneurs both the tools and the confidence to elevate their businesses.

Guest speakers will include:

• Marie Rose, owner of Rose Bud Studios in Philadelphia, who will speak on social equity and network maximization

• Vernon Ray, founder of Creative Mind Productions, who will cover content creation and working with photographers

Participants will also receive:

• Two professional headshots

• A nine-second pitch video

• Hands-on coaching and brand development over three months

• Entry into a final pitch competition with a $300 grant for the winner

“It’s not just theory,” Morris said. “They leave with tangible materials, practice, and confidence.”

A New Business Hub for Women in Philly

The work doesn’t end when the workshop ends. Sisters With An Agenda is opening its own small business hub and gathering space in Philadelphia—a resource center for entrepreneurs seeking mentorship, space, and opportunities to collaborate in person.

According to a 2024 report by the U.S. Small Business Administration, women-owned businesses are growing at nearly double the rate of all U.S. businesses—but access to capital, pitch training, and visibility remain major barriers. Morris hopes to help close that gap.

“You can’t just tell women to ‘dream big,’” she said. “You have to give them the tools and a tribe that believes in them.”

Beyond Business: Building a Lifelong Sister Circle

Morris views her consulting company as more than an enterprise—it’s a ministry. Many clients come for pitch coaching but stay for the support and connection they find with other women.

The organization emphasizes personal development, healing-centered communication, and collaboration over competition. That approach is helping build what Morris calls a “sisterhood for the long haul.”

“Every time a woman wins, we all win,” she said

Creating Access for Underserved Entrepreneurs

Morris also recognizes that many women in her community face systemic barriers—like lack of access to capital, mentorship, and media exposure—that can make entrepreneurship feel out of reach. By offering accessible programming and building a resource-rich environment, she hopes to demystify business ownership and make it more inclusive. “It’s not about perfection,” she said. “It’s about progress—and giving people the space to learn and lead.”

A Village for Visionaries

As Sisters With An Agenda continues to grow, Morris hopes to reach more entrepreneurs across Philadelphia and beyond—especially those who have felt overlooked or unsure of where to start.

“This is about legacy,” she said. “We’re not just building businesses—we’re building women who believe in themselves again.”
