Meet Tiffany
My name is Tiffany, and the foundation of this company is my life story. From leading dance lessons and washing cars as a kid, to navigating motherhood, poverty, incarceration, and rebuilding from the ground up — entrepreneurship isn’t just a business model for me, it’s part of my DNA.
I’ve always been the kind of person who gets excited by a new idea. When I was a kid and a teenager, I’d make up dances and teach them to a group of kids in my neighborhood. I’d grab some supplies, go door to door washing cars for neighbors, or start little clubs like Bible study and babysitting groups — anything that gave me a sense of purpose and something positive to focus on outside of the chaos.
By the time I turned 18, I was a ward of the court and had to navigate adulthood without the kind of structure or safety net most people rely on. In my early 20s, I found myself with no job, a GED, a child to care for, and a long list of systems that made survival possible but independence impossible. I had access to food stamps, housing, and financial aid, but I was broke in more ways than one. I had everything paid for but had worked for none of it — and it showed.
Eventually, I realized that even though I was surrounded by help, I was lacking hope, ownership, and dignity. So I began the slow, often painful process of rebuilding — not just my finances or résumé, but my mindset, self-worth, and vision for the future. I did the best with what I had and committed to rewriting my story one small step at a time.
In my 30s, I decided to pursue a degree. I knocked on every door and resource available — scholarships, work-study, support programs, tutoring — and earned my Associate’s degree. My grades opened the door to the University of Denver, where I received a full-ride scholarship and graduated with a degree in Sociology and Communications. I was on the grind, but I couldn’t do it alone. People believed in me, supported me, pushed me, and held me up on the days I didn’t have anything left to give.
That experience taught me the power of community — real community — the kind that invests, uplifts, and believes in people as they believe in themselves.
My journey wasn’t guided by Matthew 25, but it’s the reason I’m taking action now. This chapter reminds me to keep my lampstand burning — to use the talents and abilities God has given me — and to take responsibility for what I’ve been entrusted with. It’s because of that conviction that I feel called to push past fear and procrastination, and to create a space where others can do the same.
