Wanda Mimms, MBA
Founder & President, Let's Do Thiz, Inc.
Let’s Do Thiz Entertainment, Inc. was established in 2013 by Wanda Mimms. Now DBA Let’s Do Thiz, Inc. a nonprofit 501©(3) awarded in 2019.
I grew up in Bed-ford Stuyvesant Brooklyn, which was called at the time by youngsters as "Do-or-Die Bed-Sty." Despite what newspapers reported, I was surrounded by a neighborhood of loving and caring people who looked out for one another and everyone's children. (We were all family) My sister and I were only limited to the block we lived on to play. Any other block besides Hancock Street was off-limits growing up. We had to be in the eyesight of our mother who hung very close to the window. My parents, Tyrone Richardson and Mary Richardson divorced when I was very young. Mother kept us very close, too close if you asked me. However, now in my adult life, I treasure the "lock-n-key" method.
I started College in the midst of marriage, raising children, and job responsibilities. Due to a work benefit for tuition reimbursement, I decided to get my degree. In the first four years, the work was pretty easy, I just had to learn how to balance between job and life's challenges. Finally, after receiving a Degree in Science Business Administration, I felt that it was not enough. I needed more, so I pushed myself to obtain a higher education. I went along to complete my Masters in International Business Administration, this time was not that easy. As they say, "Where there is a will, there will be a way." Both BSBA & MBA were obtained through Touro University out of California. It took me eight years to complete both degrees.
Somehow, I still felt incomplete with my two degrees accomplishments. With a high energetic spirit,
goal-driven and an open mind I needed more. Today, I have a new business venture challenge - a need for a Women's Empowerment Movement! Behold, I founded a non-profit organization called, "Let's Do Thiz Entertainment, Inc. in January 2013, but actually started in 2012 with an idea from my long-time high school girlfriend Patricia Bracey. Working for several companies in the past I must say there is nothing like being your own boss.
