About
Hey! I’m Bailey, an entrepreneur with over 20-years of “skin in the game.”
—
Being called “bazooka lips,” “big foot,” and “chicken legs” growing up, I learned early how your image determines how others view and treat you.
– SO –
I combined my experiences and passion for branding and thought leadership to help inspire minority-led businesses. I want to help them define their brand and show the impact they make in the world.
I Found My Superpower
Like many girls, growing up, I was constantly teased about my appearance. I became insecure about my looks and lacked self-love. But I was determined not to let that stop me. I realized the key to being comfortable in my own skin was believing I had something to offer. I knew God created me with a purpose, and I took others’ negative energy and transformed it into a successful brand.
The same applies when building any brand. First, point out the elephant in the room and own what’s unique about you! Then take what you don’t like about your industry and change it by offering something better.
That’s how you define, level up, and build an impactful personal brand. This is my approach when working with multimillion-dollar CEOs to side-hustle entrepreneurs.
Being authentic is everything. This can only be done by self-exploration, not by having a herd mentality.
