Behind every win is a wound that taught the lesson. This is the raw truth about healing, hustle, and the purpose that built us.
About this Event

The Story That Built Me: The Healing, Hustle, & Hard Truths Behind Success brings together three powerful voices who turned their pain into purpose and their purpose into profit.

Join Joe Global, a visionary creative and serial entrepreneur known for turning ideas into movements; Dedra Simmons, owner of Pookie Crack Cakes, whose story of resilence and faith transformed a family recipe into a thriving brand; and Nikkita Cloud, founder of High Society, a bold beauty and lifestyle brand built on authenticity and elevation.

Together, we'll unpack the unseen side of entrepreneurship -- the healing, the hustle, and the hard truths that shape success frim the inside out. This isn't just another business talk -- its a conversation about the story behind the success.

Created by KeShaun Harding, this event series was inspired by her own journeyy of breaking, healing and rebuilding-- both in buisness and in life. The Story That Built Me creates space for conversations about what it really takes to grow through what tried to break you.
