Roze Merditaj (Mj)

Roze was born and raised in Kosovo, (former Yugoslavia) and moved to the U.S. in 1998 during the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo.

Women in Kosovo are limited in life choices and are considered second class citizens. Becoming a resource and creating a path for women is one of her main passions in life, so she created Real Women Collective Action (RWCA) a 501 (c) (3) to accomplish just that.

Roze believes anyone can achieve great success, with hard work, dedication, and focus.

In addition, Roze is the creator of Drops of Knowledge (www.dropsofknowledge.co). Not only is Roze a business owner, but she has over 10 years of banking experience and over 8 years of running small businesses. In banking, she has focused primarily on business lending, small business credit, business development, strategic planning, management, small business lending, consumer lending, team development, coaching, and community development. Additional abilities include building successful work teams, project management, multi-layer communication, networking, and relationship building.

Roze has been inspired to bring value with her commitment to using her life as a testament. Roze believes that we choose our actions and believes everyone can be empowered to make positive life choices. She is an example of no matter what life throws your way that you can choose your path and live the life of your dreams. Her compelling story will move you, your team, your givers, your leadership, or your family.

No matter the occasion, this is one lady you want to hear from.
