I’m Mageedah Wood, a purpose-driven entrepreneur and leader originally from Georgia, now operating between Atlanta and Panama.
I have more than 20 years of experience spanning security, business ownership, event-space management, and healthcare operations. Rooted in discipline, integrity, and a deep commitment to uplifting others, I create spaces, systems, and experiences that inspire growth and possibility. Known for my calm leadership, strong intuition, and ability to turn ideas into meaningful outcomes, I bring excellence and consistency to every business, educational, and community endeavor I lead.
Education is Important to Me
I earned my Associate of Arts in Business Management, which gave me a strong foundation in how organizations and people operate. Inspired by this experience, I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, graduating Cum Laude, where I deepened my understanding of human behavior and fell in love with learning why we do what we do.
I continued on to earn my Master of Arts in Leadership, also graduating with honors, strengthening my ability to guide, inspire, and support teams and individuals.
I’m now pursuing my Ph.D. in Psychology, specializing in Clinical Mental Health, expanding my work even further as I lean into my passion for helping people grow, heal, and navigate life with clarity and confidence.
Living Life with Intention
I built my business from a foundation of who I am—my spirit, my marriage, my family, my losses, and my resilience. Everything about my work is synched with my life. When people walk into my event space they feel my focused intention, because my business is nurtured with love, discipline, hardship, and divine guidance. Every aspect of my journey—from my grandchildren to my son’s passing—and my elevation across countries and continents—has shaped the woman and leader I am today.
My mission includes and expands well beyond my love for event planning. Baked into my passion is quiet, palpable ambition that ignites the success and key element of my work—the desire to promote small businesses in the community. In Georgia, where I started as an entrepreneur, people of color have limited access to information and capital—it's by design.
My businesses are built on inclusion and acceleration of these start-ups. Whether someone is a caterer, photographer, decorator, or creative, I build event spaces where talent can be nurtured and entrepreneurs can flourish.
From our twelve years in the U.S. to our expansion into Panama, my work continues to grow because I follow in the direction of my purpose. My presence is intentional, my voice is clear, and my purpose is rooted in authenticity. My life’s path is continuously evolving—layered with ambition, and a calling to create impact that resonates long after the moment has passed.
I am not building a brand; I am establishing a legacy—one that reflects strength, faith, transformation, and the fullness of who I am created to be.
Adopting a Global Perspective
Foundation in Georgia
The blueprint for my first event space began in Georgia. Rendezvous grew from one unique space that drove our initial interest in expansion.

Replicable Success
Our second and third locations followed the mold of the first as a lucrative and proven business model. This consistent performance validated our approach and fueled our growth.
3
A Global Vision
Duplication and expansion of our initial success has always included breakthrough ideas, such as establishing a location in Central America—Panama.
Evolving with Purpose
I’m pursuing my PhD not for traditional counseling, but to speak to large groups, uplift communities, and teach mental health awareness—especially within the Black community. Our struggles didn’t begin today; they trace back through generations of trauma, displacement, and spiritual suppression, shaping how we experience confusion, depression, imbalance, or awakening.
There's a gap in mental health awareness and the need for youth to anticipate change. As a leader in the community who works in service to youth, I enjoy providing information and knowledge across communities.
To ensure teens and young adults grasp the psychology behind their transition into adulthood and how to become self-aware.
My mission is to help our youth understand their mental and spiritual identity so they don’t fear themselves, mislabel their gifts, or run to medication before understanding their deeper connection.
My Legacy Lives On
My passion isn't just about building a business; it's about establishing an enduring legacy that transcends time. It's about empowering future generations not just with resources, but with the wisdom, resilience, and a spiritual foundation to thrive.
Generational Wealth
I want to leave financial stability and abundance for my children, grandchildren, and all who follow, ensuring a foundation for their futures.
Living Example
The degrees I've earned while building businesses shows them what's possible, not just through stories, but through a life lived with unwavering purpose.
Spiritual Guidance
I guide my family to connect with their inner spirit, fostering awareness and discipline rooted in their higher selves.
Enduring Impact
Brands may fade, but a legacy built on love, discipline, and divine guidance lives on, shaping generations to come.
This holistic approach ensures my grandchildren can say—
"My grandmother showed us what was possible."
An Enduring Legacy
My journey is a testament to purposeful living. With intention, we craft a legacy rooted in resilience and wisdom, creating an impact that echoes through generations. Let us continue to empower, inspire, and transform, leaving a foundation for all who follow.
