MinkeeBlue: style meets functionality

From chic purses to versatile travel totes, each MinkeeBlue bag elevates your style and simplifies your daily life.

Founded by Sherrill Mosee: Her Story

Sherrill Mosee, the founder and CEO of MinkeeBlue, began her journey nearly a decade ago with a clear goal in mind. She wanted to help working women and mothers who are often carrying too much. Whether it’s workout gear, laptops and devices, lunch, or everyday childcare items, women needed a solution to carry all of their stuff with style.

With two engineering degrees, Mosee developed a patented organizational bag that combines function with fashion.

Before creating the MinkeBlue collection, she won the Black Girl Ventures’ Pitch Competition and was a finalist in QVC’s Next Big Thing. She was also a finalist in Katie Couric’s Mothers of Invention and won Runner-Up in the WBENCPitch. She’s a respected voice in the industry, having spoken for many organizations, including the African-American Chamber of Commerce, SCORE, The National Society of Black Engineers at Drexel University, Traffic Sales & Profit, and Girls, Inc.

Recognizing the difficulties faced by women entrepreneurs, Mosee also founded StartUp by Faith which coaches and trains aspiring entrepreneurs on how to bring their product ideas to the market. She also hosts a YouTube series and interviews women business owners about their journeys. Mosee is committed to empowering black women in the entrepreneurial world.
