Satonya’s journey into the world of storytelling began in 2009, during a difficult professional transition. When the mortgage industry collapsed, she turned inward and discovered writing as a new outlet. That creative spark eventually evolved into screenwriting, directing, and producing.

Each design starts with a spark of inspiration—whether it’s a scripture, a nature walk, or a conversation with a customer. Tonya prays over her workspace and believes that creative energy flows through spiritual alignment. “God is my creative partner,” she says. “Everything I make starts with intention and ends with purpose.”

Cam’s inspiration comes from everyday experiences. Product packaging, 2000s web aesthetics, even wine bottle labels spark ideas. “Most concepts come to me in my sleep,” they say. “I wake up, grab my phone, and put it in Google Keep.”

Jasmine officially launched her brand in October 2021. With little guidance available for designing clothes for people with dwarfism, she had to create her own framework—sizing, fit, construction, and fabrication—all from scratch. Manufacturers couldn’t support her needs. Industry mentors didn’t exist for her niche. So she taught herself how to produce everything.

Like many designers, Chizoba Nancy Uchechukwu-Elekwa began with custom pieces—measuring, fitting, and tailoring outfits for individual clients. But after relocating from Nigeria to England, she noticed something that changed her business model. “A lot here depends on the weather,” she says. “Weddings are seasonal. Events happen mostly in the summer. I needed something that could work year-round.”

Steele’s life reflects a rhythm familiar to many Black women entrepreneurs: working multiple jobs, juggling family commitments, and creating with limited resources. When she’s not on set or behind the lens, she’s working overnight shifts in retail to sustain herself between projects. But instead of hiding that fact, she includes it in her narrative—because it’s real.

Creativity has no boundaries. Some artists express themselves through sound, others through visuals, but for Anastassia “Saywordstaz” Whitty

One of DJ Lady P’s core missions is to create space for Black women to feel seen, heard, and celebrated. She often performs at events that amplify self-love, healing, and creativity—bringing energy and intention to everything from vision board parties to panel discussions.

From a young age, Tia was musically inclined. Singing, dancing, writing, rapping—music was always an outlet. But it was behind the DJ booth where she found her true voice. She wasn't just a performer; she was a curator of moments, a builder of mood, and a controller of sonic waves. That realization turned her interest into a mission: to spread good energy, nostalgia, and movement through sound.

Her creative journey began at age five, humming TV jingles and singing in church. Encouraged by her mother, Radcity got her first Casio keyboard and started programming beats—laying the foundation for what would become a genre-bending signature sound.
