I empower marginalized creatives to build their brands and build their empires.
I’ve been creative in the online space for over a decade. I was introduced to a computer at the age of seven and have been involved in all things tech for over two decades. There have been tweaks as we go through life, we have our core circle moment where we really discover what we are passionate about and what we actually want to do with ourselves in our life. Over the last three years, during the pandemic, I’ve been listening I did a lot of self reflections. Here are ways to work with me in year 7 (2023).

I’ve been blessed to be able to work with over two dozen, minority owned businesses, solopreneurs, side hustlers, who are women of color, women of faith and differently abled over the last two decades.
I’ve been a creative who supports other creatives – a creative creator. Facebook has been my best social media platform to this day because it’s hand in hand and goes with networking. That’s how it started, Facebook was like, “Hey, let’s stay in contact with each other after we finished college.”
When I started using it, I was in middle school. I’ve seen all of the changes. I’ve seen it shut down, and I’ve seen it reduce people seeing each other’s posts.
Have you ever said, “Let me go look at someone’s profile and see how they’re doing because Facebook hadn’t been showing me any of their stuff?”
Adding in the groups, marketplaces, and podcasts, Facebook’s been making a lot of changes because they are going to be one social media network that really does it all.
I’ve been saying the same thing in different terminologies since 2016. I’ve been a photographer first, and as a photographer, I would capture the brands of those who want to be known and grow their visibility online. I got to teach myself social media to the point where my first clients were music artists.
Do these sound like something you would ask or say?
“How are you so confident? How are you able to meet so and so? My content’s not working on social media, how can I have my content work?
As a multi passionate creative, I have all these ideas. I have all the products I have all of this going on And, I don’t know where to start.”
As creative, we need environments that aren’t so noisy, that aren’t going to have our imposter syndrome and fear of missing out very loud. I’ve been doing my market research and listening to those who I have worked with, depending on what level we work with. What I have noticed is everybody learns differently. Some are like “I got it, let me go to YouTube University,” and are fine with going the pathway that they’ve gone. Other people prefer to have regular accountability, regular check in, and regular safe spaces that they can go to on what they are asked to create for themselves in their life. Some just need one on one guidance.
The biggest way to work with me is by having one on one conversations. I shift your mindset, shift your branding, and shift your marketing. You get to ask me anything, you get access to anything, whatever it is, no matter what you’re struggling with, when it comes to building your empire, building your side hustle, building that escape, that pathway to freedom. I’ve been online for so long, there’s no limits to what you get out of me when you’re building your business and we positively affect your life. That is a five figure investment.
Not sure if you are ready for that level of commitment?
You can work with me to have done for you services. If we’re not located in the same area, or have no budget to travel with, being a part of my virtual network often means that I am connecting you with people who will be of value and will understand exactly the vision that you’re creating. On photography, design and content strategy, we do it for you. I know that you are very ambitious. It’s a matter of having something with ease, and something that can simply automate. I work with my team to bring in the content. That is a three to six months four figure investment.
Here’s another option,
Let’s say you are at that phase where you still want to do everything by yourself. I have been tweaking the membership community called Phocused creatives. I have been putting into work and renovations to launch a membership community that is not on Facebook, that is not on mighty network, and that is not on Kajabi. What’s so imperative about this community is that no one shoe fits all.
We’re basing it off of my book, my brand that I’ve been working on since 2019, Seeing Life Differently. You’re shifting your mindset to operate positively, you’re building your brand organically. What do I mean by that? Not a lot of people utilize the data that they already have, the network that they already have, to build their brand. We’re also seeing how we market ourselves differently.
There’s three different ways that people use social media: to educate, to inspire, to empower or entertain. Nine out of 10 times we entertain. It’s the pandemic, we need joy at every moment that we can get. If you were to think about your legacy, what do you want to be remembered for? If entertaining is not in that category, it’s time to see your marketing differently.
You need to be around the women that are going in the same direction that you’re going. You need to talk to the people that are doing what you want to do. You’re ready to digest content, not from YouTube university, but from people who have been doing what you want to do.
In this creative community, you get all of the above. Just by joining in, you get to see all of the women that are there, those women are in any other industry that you either work in, or advocate for, whether it’s financial, visibility, or design, no matter what it is that you need to do that you can take your empire to the next level, there is going to be a woman in there for you one, either as a member, a part of the membership directory, or they are one of my coaches, the ladies that I have partnered with, with my media agency over the last five years, as we had our branding, and marketing clients.
We’re coming back full circle to get value out of having a sense of community, when you are building your network and growing on your entrepreneurship journey, it’s super helpful to invest in yourself. In return, you’re investing in both entrepreneurs who have been doing it for over a decade, they’ve been in the online space for over a decade, they’ve been doing what you aspire to do for over a decade.
There’s two ways to join. There’s one it just joined the Free community and get in. I want you to be active. I only want those who are ambitious, who are sick and tired of being sick and tired because they know that they can add more to life and they already are invested in doing the work.
You can join the community for free by going https://bit.ly/32Pcp46.
If you’re like “I need your brain, your creativity, I need who you know so I can grow” then you can become a paid member and get access to the monthly session. You get access to everything else and everybody else but more importantly get access to the monthly mentoring session. Become a Paid Member (Founding Rate) and Get Access to First Monthly Session on January 25 at 7pm Eastern. http://bit.ly/3Q0FOgf
What else comes with the paid tier?
Every month for the third, Wednesday, we’re going to go live. On an ongoing basis when you are allowed to join. You can join for free, take a look and dive into the content. It’s your own version of YouTube University because it has photography courses, marketing courses, and podcasting. Now it’s one space where you can dive into all the content that I’ve been producing over the last eight years. The monthly sessions however are mentoring because you get to talk to me and fellow woman creatives who are focusing on design psychology, podcasting, book publishing and more. Now you can not only pick my brain but also get access to other women who are doing exactly what it is that you want to do.
MEMBERSHIP TUTORIAL
Lastly, if you join and you pay the VIP monthly membership price, you get a ticket to the in person event that I’m having in March: See different summit for one day only in Atlanta.
