Chiqusha Ford

I came from humble beginnings, where you have search for your own opportunities. I had no resources, every idea i came up with was from my own mind and put the work behind it to make it happen. I’ve learned that if you stay consistent it’ll work out , i also learned that strangers and people you barely know will be some of your biggest supporters. Not family or friends. When people see my brand i want them to know that I’m serious and it wasn’t easy getting here, and i want to see it get bigger than ever Read More>>

I believe if you have a dream and you are so passionate about it you have to follow your heart all the way! You have to keep going regardless of what people think and you kinda have to be a little delusional. Sounds crazy but you have to believe the unimaginable. But never give up!! Read More>>

I think the most important thing I’ve done as a parent is being present—really listening, showing up for the little and big moments, and making sure my kids feel seen and loved for who they are. I want my girls to be independent and make their own choices finding their voice when it comes to everyday decisions. I hope seeing their mom be driven and passionate inspires them to do the same. That consistency builds trust and confidence that I hope sticks with them as they grow. Read More>>

Sybille Desormes

People, nature, relationships, and travel—all inspire me. I’m drawn to things that are vast and can’t be put in a box, and that’s how I like to approach both my work and life: thinking outside the box and leaning into the unknown. I’m inspired by my family every day, and by the relationships in my life, because of how unconditional they are. When you know you can jump as high as possible and someone will always be there to catch you, it’s hard not to dream big. Read More>>

Consistency, clarity, and curiosity, those are the habits that have shaped everything I’ve built.

I wake up early, reflect often, and ask questions constantly. I’ve learned that success isn’t about massive moments – it’s about micro-decisions made daily with discipline and intention. Whether I’m scaling an AI-driven tech platform or reimagining the coffee shop experience, I make it a habit to stay grounded in user feedback, trust my team, and remain close to execution.

Red meat is bad.

Conventionally raised red meat is full of antibiotics and growth hormones, and its stressful living conditions produce low-quality meat that contributes to inflammation and bodily imbalance. Read More>>

When I first started in photography, I was told that in order to run a successful and sustainable business, I had to shoot everything. “The most successful photographers are generalists” was something that I heard often. And I tried, I really did. But some types of sessions just didn’t resonate with me and I didn’t feel that it was fair to me or my clients to keep forcing what didn’t feel authentic. Read More>>

Hi, I’m Daisy, and I am a Formula One fan that shows her passion through journaling! Currently I am still a student, but in the future I would hopefully like to be an f1 journalist. Right now my journal is more of a hobby that I love to share with others, however it is also building up to creating my own personal brand for the future, and starting to build journalist skills that will be useful in the years to come! I am hoping that this will set me apart so I can have better opportunities for my future career and I am super excited to see what the future holds and what may happen. Read More>>

What ever you are passionate about, you need to just start. There is no perfect timing, there is no perfect moment. I needed to trust that my art was enough for me to pull away from my career, and apply my leaders Read More>>
