In <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/tag\/black-owned-and-proud\"><em>Black-Owned and Proud<\/em><\/a><em>, we profile innovative Black entrepreneurs building businesses and bringing much-needed change to the face of enterprise.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonya Hicks is the head of three organizations. She\u2019s president and CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powersolutionsintl.com\/\">Power Solutions<\/a>, an electrical contracting firm; CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pahlga.org\/\">Partners in Action for Healthy Living (PAHL)<\/a>, an urban gardening organization promoting healthy eating and food security; and president and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/womendoeverything.com\/\">Women Do Everything<\/a>, a community fostering trade skills for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds like a lot of work, right? Hicks doesn\u2019t think so. When you\u2019re doing what you love and have the capacity for it, she says, it\u2019s never too much work\u2014it\u2019s your calling. As a businesswoman and electrician, Hicks has lived her life according to this ethos, even when others in the male-dominated construction industry have told her no, shut doors in her face, or disregarded her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the biggest challenges I\u2019ve had to overcome as a Black woman is being underestimated and undervalued,\u201d says Hicks. That has not stopped her from showing up. Her persistence, her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/03\/05\/business\/women-electricians.html\">business ventures<\/a>, and her love of what she does are proof of that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love construction. I love what I do. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;d be able to keep doing it if I didn&#8217;t,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n<noscript class=\"ninja-forms-noscript-message\">\n\tNotice: JavaScript is required for this

path<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At an early age, Hicks\u2019 passion for learning about how things work and how to fix things led her to pursue a degree in mathematics and computer science from Central State University in Wilberforce, OH. After two years on campus, she decided not to complete her studies after she landed an opportunity to gain real-world experience at a paper mill. While many people didn\u2019t fully understand her leap of faith, she was confident in her decision. Shortly after, Hicks enrolled in a five-year apprenticeship with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and became an electrician.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/cps\/cpsaat11.htm\">US Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>, only 3.1 percent of electricians are women and 6.8 percent are Black. Despite the odds, Hicks rose up quickly. She became the first woman electrician in her local (Local 917 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) and the first Black woman in the state of Mississippi to be an electrician in the union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2000, at just 28 years old, she was encouraged by a group of friends and mentors to start her own electrical construction contracting company after not being satisfied with her career. She founded Power Solutions in Atlanta. Now, at 48 years old, Hicks has a team of 25 specializing in renewable energy and smart-city technology. The firm conducts business overseas and has generated millions of dollars in revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/SMALL-BIZ-WEEK-EDITS.00_00_33_09.Still001_v1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3000034381\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hicks became the first Black woman in the state of Mississippi to be an electrician in the union. At 28, she founded her own electrical construction contracting company.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For her, running a multimillion-dollar company is not just about profits. Giving back and helping others <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/growth-innovation\/skills-training-benefits-employees-and-managers\">acquire skills<\/a> to be able to earn a living wage is at the core of her personal mission. Hicks\u2019 mother was a great inspiration in her early life. Through her, Hicks learned that women know no limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing a Black woman in a male-dominated field , I know what it&#8217;s like to be discounted. And I know what it&#8217;s like to have to be better to be considered equal. So it&#8217;s always my goal to identify where I can help people, because I never feel like it\u2019s by accident,\u201d says Hicks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current issues, like the water crisis in Flint, MI, Jackson, MS, and on Indigenous land, has inspired Hicks to form strategic partnerships that will impact and inform change. \u201cThese are the areas [power, food, and energy] that I sought to operate in because I know these are the greatest things that affect people in poverty,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-have-to-grow-to-give\"><strong>You have to grow to give<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Born and raised in Meridian, MS, to a family deeply involved in agriculture, Hicks knows a thing or two about living off the land and making do. In 2020, she was asked to step in as the CEO at Partners in Action for Healthy Living\u2014a nonprofit with a mission to cultivate community and healthy living through year-round urban gardening\u2014and oversee the organization&#8217;s 25 locations throughout Decatur, GA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the leader of the organization, Hicks has relied on her team to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/things-to-do\/food-and-recipes\/nonprofits-feed-needy-assist-food-workers-in-pandemic\/ZGRZD3EK4ZHEDLEQDFTEQUWX3I\/\">help families in need get through the pandemic<\/a>. \u201cWe saw the increased [need] for food rise<a href=\"https:\/\/www.albanyherald.com\/news\/food-insecurity-increases-exponentially-with-covid-19\/article_8c84d962-f80f-11ea-9163-2ff6e41e6057.html\"> to 40 percent<\/a>; 45 percent of those people had never been in a food line,\u201d says Hicks. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feedingamerica.org\/hunger-in-america\/georgia\">Feeding America<\/a>, in Georgia, 1,318,500 people are struggling with hunger, and of them, 405,380 are children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-body_vertical is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/IMG_41431_v1-571x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3000034361\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Partners in Action for Healthy Living (PAHL) hosting a pop-up potting event at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/buildings\/120-west-trinity-place--atlanta--GA\" target=\"_blank\">WeWork 120 West Trinity Place<\/a> in Decatur, GA recently to celebrate Earth Week. Photograph courtesy of PAHL.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>PAHL grows to give. From the 2020 growing season alone, the organization donated 2,000 pounds of food to local churches, food pantries, and schools, and fed 1,000 families. With food insecurity plaguing low-income communities around the nation (and the world), Hicks has leveraged her network to partner with others to share insights from her work at PAHL and inform change internationally. \u201cWe&#8217;re working on a global scale now. We just partnered with the European Union to promote healthy living sustainability in agriculture,\u201d she shares.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paving-the-way-for-women-to-upskill\"><strong>Paving the way for women to upskill<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Hicks manages three businesses, each of them lends itself to the other and the betterment of the Black community. The third organization she runs, <a href=\"https:\/\/womendoeverything.com\/about\">Women Do Everything,<\/a> is a career and workforce development organization that educates, trains, and creates economic mobility for women (and some men) through the world of trade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hicks originally launched the organization in 2015 as a blog and rebranded it in 2019 to be a community resource. Women Do Everything\u2019s mission is to provide women the tools, including coaching, training, and staffing services, to access high-paying jobs in technical, male-dominated industries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want women to be in higher-paying jobs so they can expose their children and themselves to more,\u201d says Hicks. That requires women to be able to get out of survival mode by upskilling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While acquiring trade skills isn\u2019t traditionally popular for women, Hicks believes it\u2019s more important to be concerned about people\u2019s environments and what they need to grow than what is popular to do professionally. Oftentimes, that\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/work\/women-in-skilled-trades\/\">having a trade skill<\/a>. By 2023, it is anticipated that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/show\/despite-rising-salaries-the-skilled-labor-shortage-is-getting-worse\">there will be a shortage<\/a> of skilled trade workers despite the potential earning power in those roles. Hicks wants women to be able to fill that gap.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women in the workforce have also been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/newsroom-landing-page\/newsroom\/posts\/wework-announces-women-for-tomorrow-initiative-across-the-u-s-latin-america-in-partnership-with-womens-global-empowerment-fund-and-softbank\">disproportionately impacted by the pandemic<\/a>. Hicks is focused on helping women who\u2019ve experienced job loss level-up. \u201cWe have to get these women back to work. And they can&#8217;t go back to making $7 or $8,\u201d says Hicks. She has also teamed up with <a href=\"https:\/\/geministaffinggroup.com\/\">Gemini Staffing Group<\/a> to create more access to job opportunities for women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was just telling another woman contractor today, we\u2019re so close to the top, we can smell it. We face big giants who will blatantly tell you, \u2018You\u2019re not going to make it. You\u2019re not going to be here.\u2019 And we don\u2019t flinch,\u201d says Hicks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-space-to-succeed\"><strong>The space to succeed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When shopping around for office space, Hicks highly valued being in a creative space with entrepreneurial energy. So in March 2020 she joined WeWork Labs, and moved into an office in Atlanta. Due to the pandemic, she and her team now work out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/buildings\/120-west-trinity-place--atlanta--GA\">WeWork 120 W Trinity Place<\/a> in Decatur, which is closer to the PAHL headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt feels like home. That\u2019s what I like about WeWork. Instead of being just a coworking space, it&#8217;s a collaborative space. I love being able to connect and collaborate with other startup entrepreneurs,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/IMG_0514_v2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3000034358\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hicks&#8217; office is decorated with illustrations of women leaders who inspire her. Photograph courtesy of Tonya Hicks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hicks values the hunger, drive, and energy that comes with being part of an entrepreneurial community. Last year, Women Do Everything was a recipient of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/community-stories\/member-spotlight\/wework-black-owned-business-grant-awardees\">WeWork\u2019s Black-owned business grant award<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou cannot discount energy, because [as a business owner] you want to be in an environment where stuff is moving,\u201d she says. \u201cIn our startup community, we\u2019re pulling each other up, talking to each other, and helping each other, and I love that!\u201d She and her team also host events at WeWork for members.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since working from WeWork, she has formed partnerships, including one with David Hailey of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.countalytics.com\/\">Countalytics<\/a>, an inventory management technology company. \u201cDavid is a great guy. I connected him with one of my contacts, and now we have a $200,000 contract that we&#8217;re doing together!\u201d Hicks says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked how it feels to have made such profound accomplishments, Hicks says, \u201cIt feels like legacy. I can see myself on my porch telling my grandkids what they need to be doing. And how to maintain the integrity of our businesses.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women have never given society a reason to doubt them. Society has. And to that point, Hicks stands firm on her belief: \u201cWomen can fix anything men build.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"related-articles-sticky related-articles-sticky--sticky-on-desktop\">\r\n
