JWE Dallas launch- The inaugural event for JWE’s newest City Pod.

JWE Dallas Launch: An Evening with Mimi Banks

The JWE Dallas Pod launches Thursday, October 22, 2026, at Cantoni, 4800 Alpha Rd, Dallas. 

The JWE, The Jewish Woman Entrepreneur & Executive, is a 501(c)(3) founded
in 2011. Nearly 12,000 women across 7 countries are already part of the community, and Dallas is the newest Pod to join it.

This isn’t a networking event where you collect business cards and go home. It’s built to be relational, not transactional: real skills, warm introductions, and mentorship that runs both ways. Whether you’re growing a business, climbing inside one, or changing lanes entirely, this room is for you.

Meet the Keynote: Mimi Banks

With 25+ years shaping some of beauty’s most iconic brands, including 15 years at L’Oréal, Mimi Banks is the founder and CEO of MB Social, an all-female agency behind social strategy and community growth for industry-known brands. A sought-after speaker, mentor and podcast host, Mimi shares a powerful perspective on the relationships, risks and career decisions behind her journey from corporate executive to entrepreneur — and what it means to build brands, create community and define success on your own terms.

The night includes:

  • A keynote presentation with Mimi Banks
  • Hors d’oeuvres and networking
  • A professional headshot studio
  • Raffle prizes
  • VIP options with headshot priority scheduling and a 1-on-1 meet and greet with the keynote

After launch, JWE Dallas keeps going with ongoing programming: sessions on negotiation, AI, insurance, and financing and business capital, plus a free digital library on HR, hiring and firing, and leadership development.
