As I percolate into my 10th year as a full-time entrepreneur (almost 18 years in business), this slid across my timeline.

Just when you think no one is watching.

The silent conversations I’ve had in my head about my “little business that could.”
The no’s I had to say far too often, not because I was difficult, but because I understood that comfort is not elevation.

I refused to stay boxed in as someone who just “plays with centerpieces and linen.”

Corporate events gave me space to expand.
To show who I was beyond destination weddings.
To demand my placement.
To build my own road.
To reclaim my time.
To design multi-day conferences that weren’t just beautiful, but protected.

I added a layer most event professionals weren’t thinking about yet.
Strategy. Infrastructure. Cybersecurity.
Experience and protection living in the same room.

I’ve been building this company for years with my head down, ears plugged, eyes tunnel-focused.

And today, being recognized as one of Detroit’s Best Corporate Event Planners hits differently.

Because this wasn’t overnight.
This was discipline.
This was standards.
This was vision.

Today, I proudly say…

I am Black History. 💅🏾 🤠

Thinking of eloping but still want the vibes of a wedding?
