In this episode of How I Got Here, Dreena welcomes Eunique Jones Gibson, innovator, creator, culture leader, and founder of Because of Them We Can, Culture Tags, and Culture Brands. Listen in as Eunique sheds light on her journey to becoming a social activist, entrepreneur, and creative powerhouse for good.
After leaving the corporate marketing world and experiencing a life-altering car accident, Eunique became very intentional with her life and the purpose she has: hustling to amplify the good on a daily basis.
“Once I figured out a way to get my own ideas out of my head and to bring them to fruition, but to also monetize them, there was no longer a need for me to ask someone else for permission.”- Eunique Jones Gibson
Stay tuned to hear Eunique’s advice for aspiring entrepreneurs on leaving a corporate job and activating your entrepreneurial drive, as well as advice for entrepreneurs on dealing with failure. She shares her thoughts on what will make a campaign go viral, how to get kids involved in activism and black history, and what it takes to get your products into major retailers and to stay on the shelves. Plus, Eunique speaks on how her family and her upbringing has shaped her way of thinking as it relates to her self-worth, creativity, activism, and leadership.
“The power of life and death is in the tongue. We have the ability to call things into our life, into our existence, by what we say and what we believe. So, I speak life into my dreams.”- Eunique Jones Gibson
Remember, “give yourself grace, it’s not a race, it’ll all work out in the end.”
