At 17 I was kicked out and found myself living in a homeless shelter while working 3 jobs to make ends meet. The grind didn’t stop and I had convinced myself that working the corporate ladder was my key to success. So for 12 years, I climbed thinking that if I got high enough eventually I’d be internally fulfilled.
Then Covid struck and suddenly my livelihood was on the line, I realized I was nothing but a number to the corporate world. I decided I was *done* working for “the man” and making him rich off my creative marketing ideas. Suddenly it felt easy to walk away from the most prestigious position I’ve ever known to go all in on myself and embrace my creativity.
So I walked away and told my husband, "Honey, give me 90 days, I know I can make my normal monthly wage." I left the company that day and got to work going all in on myself and focused on MY dreams for the first time ever.
Using my marketing skills acquired in the corporate world I doubled my salary in the first 90 days of opening MB Creative Agency. Not only did I increase my income but making that decisions allowed my husband and I to afford IVF which was completely unattainable previously.
Now, I have two beautiful twins, get to do what I love daily while being a mom and coaching others on creating luxury experiences that turn heads.
I had just graduated as a fully self employed freelancer and browsing Upwork applying to countless jobs.
I thought the only way to get clients was to lurk on freelancing platforms, cold email businesses that had no idea who I was, and hang out in Facebook groups all day waiting for someone to make a post saying “I’m looking for a designer” and pray I was one of the first few to comment.
That year I made a total of $20,000 by doing small one off projects, Upwork jobs, and logo designs. At that time I felt like it wasn’t bad for my first year in business but I also knew it wasn’t sustainable...
So, I made a promise to myself that I was going to show up nearly every day on social media, attend networking groups (even though I fu***** hated it), and absorb every ounce of information from the internet.
Fast forward to today, I have experienced a $30,000 month, $10,000 client projects, and no longer spend Sundays applying to freelance jobs. Now I get to wake up to the sound of my chickens, pretend I'm a barista with my fancy coffee machine, and be the mentor I always needed.

So, we're changing it.
We've both heard clients say... "it can't take that long"
"why is it so expensive?"
"can I get a discount?"
Yet no other industry gets treated this way and it doesn't HAVE to be like this but change starts with us.
Our community is breaking the starving artist mentality by setting new standards for creatives, charging high ticket prices, and delivering on their promises creating a healthier industry for both clients and designers.

From inside DBA sorority, our sisterhood where we cherish each other's accomplishments, watch movies together, play games, and make genuine friendships.
If you're a woman in business... you know how hard it is to find like minded sisters to share your successes (and losses) with.
You know it's tough...
working alone day in and day out
not having anyone to talk to that "gets it"
finding support from other creative women
BUT, the good news is you can find all of this inside our DBA sorority program. We've had students make lifelong friends and breakthrough major mindset barriers with the support of their sisterhood.

No because results vary based on your current skill set and effort! Some students book high ticket clients within their first few weeks of joining DBA and some students don't participate or complete their homework resulting in no clients.
