Personal Details

Bio

Andrena Sawyer is an author, consultant, strategist and ministry founder whose history includes surviving the civil war in Sierra Leone. Her authenticity and battle-tested principles inspire audiences to embrace their past, own their present and maximize their future.

She is the Founder of the Minority Christian Women Entrepreneurs Network (MCWEN), and the President of P.E.R.K. Consulting—a consulting firm for nonprofits and small businesses.

Originally from Freetown, Sierra Leone, she and her family moved to the United States when she was nine years old due to a civil war that left thousands dead and untold numbers maimed and displaced. She now credits her family's move during the war for her interest in human triumph and perseverance.

In addition to her work with P.E.R.K. Consulting and MCWEN, she is the author of several books including The Misadventures of a New Entrepreneur, and The Long Way Home.
