About Us

The Power of Connection: Our Story

918 She Connects was born from a shared vision of impact and community. By uniting the creative strategy of Prokea Studio with the organizational excellence of Navilexis Solutions, we’ve created a unique space where women in Tulsa can truly thrive.

We realized that by combining our expertise, we could do more than just business we could build a movement. Today, 918 She Connects stands as the bridge between local restaurants and a vibrant community of women dedicated to intentional growth and mutual support.

Beyond Networking: A Catalyst for Change

At its heart, 918 She Connects is about intentional impact. We identified a gap where local businesses needed support and women needed genuine, non-competitive spaces to grow.

Intentional Impact: We don't just show up; we show up with purpose. Every lunch is designed to boost a local business’s bottom line.

Community Over Competition: We break down the barriers of traditional networking. Here, success is shared, and every woman at the table is an ally in your growth.

Sustainable Growth: By bridging the gap between professional women and local gems, we ensure Tulsa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem remains vibrant.

Meet the Team

Martha Hernandez

Co-Founder

My name is Martha Hernández, and I have been an immigrant since 2017. I have worked in different restaurants and later at a sign company.
At the same time, I began offering design services outside of my regular work schedule, finding my first clients through Facebook. As demand grew, I decided to become independent and start my own branding agency.
In 2025, I had the opportunity to partner with a colleague to create Prokea Studio, a company dedicated to branding, consulting, and marketing products specialized in restaurants, catering businesses, and food trucks. We offer an integrated service focused on supporting the growth and improvement of the image and numbers of food businesses.
