Marty McDonald Biography
Marty McDonald is the founder of Boss Women Media and Elle Olivia, two transformative brands born from her mission to inspire and empower women and families of color. After an 11-year corporate career working with Fortune 500 companies, McDonald took a bold leap to create a community centered on connection, empowerment, and opportunity. Through Boss Women Media, she has built a movement with initiatives like the multi-city Black Girl Magic Tour, the annual Boss Woman of the Year Summit, and a thriving community of over 100,000 women. Her work challenges fear as a barrier, equipping women to chase audacious dreams and achieve their fullest potential.
In 2022, McDonald expanded her impact with the launch of Elle Olivia, a children’s lifestyle brand inspired by her daughter’s extraordinary journey. When her daughter, Elle Olivia, was diagnosed with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia during pregnancy, McDonald and her husband became fierce advocates for representation and equity in Black parenthood. This deeply personal experience fueled the creation of Elle Olivia, a brand showcasing representation and big possibilities for Black girls through thoughtfully designed, functional clothing. Starting with a sold-out Valentine’s Day collection, Elle Olivia quickly grew into a staple brand, offering soft, bamboo-based Lay and Play sets for toddlers. By 2023, Elle Olivia was carried in over 400 Target stores nationwide, bringing McDonald’s vision of representation and empowerment into homes across the country.
McDonald continues to champion women and families, proving that big dreams, resilience, and representation can transform lives. Through her work, she’s empowering the next generation to embrace their own possibilities and achieve more, fearlessly.

Marty McDonald Speaking Topics
An audacious vision is more than just a dream -- it’s a bold, fearless commitment to seeing beyond what exists today and stepping into the extraordinary. It requires belief, bold action, and resilience to push through fear and obstacles. This conversation will challenge the audience to redefine what’s possible for their lives, careers, and impact on the world.
Through personal storytelling, thought-provoking questions, and real-life examples, this keynote will inspire attendees to adopt an audacious mindset—one that doesn’t wait for permission but instead creates new possibilities through courage and persistence.
Key Takeaways:
Belief: See Beyond Your Current Reality
Your vision must be bigger than your fears—before anyone else believes in it, YOU have to. The most audacious people in history started with a vision no one else could see.
Challenge: What is the biggest vision you have for your life? And do you truly believe it’s possible?
Bold Action: Move Even When You’re Scared
Fear is a constant companion on the road to audacious success—move anyway. Taking bold, imperfect steps is what separates dreamers from doers. Challenge: What is one fearless move you can make this week toward your vision?
Resilience: Stay Committed When It Gets Hard
The most successful people aren’t the most talented—they’re the most relentless. Every setback is a setup for a comeback—reframe obstacles as part of your story. Challenge: What’s one challenge you’re facing now, and how can you turn it into an opportunity?
This keynote is about breaking through fear, playing big, and making bold moves toward your goals. Getting your B.A.G. isn’t just about money—it’s about securing your vision, your impact, and your future.
A B.A.G. (Bold, Audacious Goal) is the kind of goal that stretches you, challenges you, and pushes you into the next level of success. It’s about thinking beyond limitations and taking action with fearless energy.
This keynote will inspire attendees to:
- Define their B.A.G. and own their ambition.
- Overcome fear and self-doubt to move boldly toward success.
- Take immediate, fearless action to secure their vision.
Key Takeaways: How to Secure Your B.A.G.
B – BELIEVE BIGGER (Your Mindset Determines Your Moves)
Your mindset is the foundation of your B.A.G.—you have to believe it’s possible before anyone else does.
Stop playing small. If your goal doesn’t scare you, it’s not big enough.
Challenge: What’s the boldest dream you have for yourself right now?
A – AUDACIOUS ACTION (Fearless Moves Create Fearless Results)
Fear will always be there—but your B.A.G. is on the other side of bold moves.
Take the risk. Successful people don’t wait for permission; they go after what they want.
Challenge: What’s one move you’ve been scared to make? What if you just did it?
G – GO GET IT (Execution Over Excuses)
You don’t just dream about the B.A.G.—you go get it.
Consistency beats talent. The most successful people are the ones who refuse to quit.
