What is your biggest success?
My biggest success has been transforming my pain into purpose and building platforms that empower others. From growing up without my mother and enduring abuse, I rose to become a business leader and founder of three impactful brands: Maat Afrikan Events, Maat Afrikan Herbals, and Fisherman’s Project.
Each one represents a piece of my healing and a tool for empowering others whether through premium event experiences, holistic wellness, or youth development. I’ve created jobs, inspired young people, and shown that success is possible despite where you come from. My greatest achievement isn’t just what I’ve built it’s who I’ve become in the process: strong, resilient, and driven to open doors for others.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
My biggest hurdle has been navigating both personal and structural challenges while trying to grow and sustain my businesses. I grew up without my mother and in an abusive home, which deeply affected my confidence and sense of worth. Healing while building a business is not easy it requires emotional strength, resilience, and the courage to keep going when everything feels stacked against you.
As a Black woman entrepreneur, I’ve also faced systemic barriers such as limited access to funding, exclusion from powerful networks, and constantly having to prove my value in spaces that aren’t always welcoming. Opportunities are not always given; I’ve had to create them.
There have been times where I had the vision and talent, but not the resources. Still, I’ve pressed forward. That fight against silence, against doubt, against limitation has been my greatest battle, and overcoming it continues to shape the leader and change-maker I am becoming.
