Breaking Funding Barriers for Black & Brown Women.
Jamilah Mena is a force —
A multilingual attorney, strategist, and advisor who moves through the world with purpose.
A proud Garifuna-American with deep roots in Honduras and a global career spanning law, tech, and venture capital, she founded Nemeri Ventures to break barriers and build bridges. With an acute awareness of how access—rather than talent—is often the missing piece, she created an education-driven platform that pairs bold investors with distinct and dynamic Black and Brown female entrepreneurs.
Her career has taken her across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, guiding founders through the labyrinth of capital raising, from strategy to securing investment. At Nemeri, she curates a space where vision meets opportunity—where brilliant Black and Brown women entrepreneurs gain the knowledge, tools, and networks to transform their ideas into investable, scalable businesses. Jamilah ensures they walk into the room not just ready but undeniable. She also partners with investors who are aligned with her company’s mission.
Building Generational Wealth, Honoring Generational Wisdom
A storyteller at her core, she channels her energy through voice—spoken or sung. Whether commanding a room with sharp insights or pouring raw emotion into poetry and song at an open mic night, her voice is her power. And through Nemeri, she’s making sure others find theirs, too.
"I built this firm with the same resilience my ancestors passed down to me—because true freedom means economic empowerment."
