Clarisse
Libene.

Three companies. One divorce. A lineage of African traditional healers — and a refusal to keep intuition out of the boardroom.

Clarisse Libene founded her first company, Bellebene, at 29. A few years later she co-founded the Natural Hair Academy, the first global event dedicated to natural hair, gathering tens of thousands of women across continents around a single, quiet conviction: what you were told to hide is the exact thing you were built to lead with.

In 2015, her marriage ended. The business did not. In 2016 she launched her private business coaching practice. In 2018 she founded the Afropreneuses Summit, the first event in France dedicated entirely to Black women entrepreneurs — a room she built because no one else had built it yet.

Clarisse comes from a lineage of African traditional healers. She is a psychic and astrologer, and these gifts are not a side note to her work — they are the instrument. In private mentoring, she reads what the spreadsheet cannot: the timing, the alignment, the decision the client already knows but has not yet allowed herself to make.

The Second Act is the practice that grew out of that decade — a private room for women who have already built something, who are rebuilding their life, and who are done outsourcing their knowing.
