Girl Get Up

A new episode of Girl, Get Up: UNLOCKED just dropped.

🌻Episode 4: You Didn’t Want the Job

In this raw episode of Girl, Get Up: UNLOCKED, Ms. Cee Jones tackles the reported legal dispute between Takeoff's mother, Titania Davenport, and his father, Kenneth Ball, over how to split a settlement from the bowling alley owners where he was killed. His mother argues his father was "largely absent" and provided negligible financial or emotional support—so why should he receive a portion of the funds their son earned?

This isn't just celebrity gossip; it's a mirror reflecting a critical issue: the cost of absent fathers and the necessity of male presence in children's lives. Ms. Cee asks the hard questions: Why do men expect to benefit from children they didn't raise? What does real parental responsibility look like? How do we ensure our children grow up whole, well-rounded, and guided?

Girl Get Up

Do you know what it takes to transform how someone sees themselves? Just one person who believes in them.

When someone you respect genuinely believes in you—not your potential, but your actual current capability—it rewires how you see yourself.

My last Girl, Get Up expert, William J. Makell Jr., went from internalizing doubt to embracing possibility. And that shift in self-image created unstoppable momentum toward his goals.

What was the single moment that changed everything?
One pilot that believed in William’s success.

For entrepreneurs and leaders, this matters:

🌻You might be the person who believes in someone else enough to transform their trajectory. You might be the mentor, the coach, the leader who helps someone see themselves more clearly.

Discover how to see yourself—and help others see themselves—the way great leaders do.

Girl, Get Up Podcast. The belief you need might be waiting for you.

Salutations Girl, Get Up Collective...What if the struggle you're facing right now isn't predicting your future—it's preparing you for it?

William J. Makell Jr. was born prematurely. From day one, his life was a fight.

As a young student, he struggled with SAT scores and academic curriculums that didn't come naturally. But here's what those struggles actually were: PREPARATION.

They taught him resilience. They showed him how to fight through obstacles. They built character that no easy path could have created.

33 years later, William J. Makell Jr. became one of very few African American Coast Guard pilots, and he's now a leadership coach transforming how organizations and individuals navigate change, build resilience, and stay competitive.

His struggle didn't determine his destiny. His belief in himself did.

This is the truth that changes everything for entrepreneurs, leaders, and dreamers facing obstacles:

✅Your beginning doesn't predict your ending.
✅Your current struggle doesn't determine your future success.
✅Your academic challenges don't define your capability.
✅Your early setbacks don't decide your destiny.

What DOES determine your destiny? Your commitment to keep fighting when circumstances suggest you should quit.

William's story proves this over and over. Despite every reason to believe he couldn't achieve his goal of becoming a Coast Guard Officer, he refused to accept that narrative.

Now he helps other leaders do the same, seeing beyond their struggles to their potential.

In this powerful Girl, Get Up Podcast episode, William shares:

🎖️ How his premature birth taught him to fight for his life
🎖️ Overcoming academic struggles that threatened his dreams
🎖️ The moment a fellow pilot helped him improve his self-image
🎖️ His vision for Black Wall Street 2030
🎖️ The Seven Pillars of Success framework that guides his coaching
🎖️Why small businesses should adopt AI to stay competitive

Hear how one Coast Guard pilot transformed his struggles into strength—and learned to help others do the same.

Do you know your own strengths well enough to lead with them? Here's what holds most people back from stepping into leadership positions:

❌They don't know their own power.
❌They know their weaknesses.
❌They know their insecurities.
❌They know the things they think they "should" be good at.

But knowing your actual strengths? Your real superpowers? That takes intentional discovery.

When you know yourself, your strengths, your values, your Distinct Competitive Attributes (DCA), you don't have to perform someone else's version of leadership.

You can embody YOUR version. And that's when everything changes. Here’s how you can get to know yourself on a new level TODAY:

✅ACTION 1: Clarify your values and DCA...
Get honest about what matters to you (not what should matter). What makes YOUR approach different from everyone else doing similar work? That's your Distinct Competitive Attribute.

✅ACTION 2: Identify what people ask YOU for...
What do people consistently ask your help with? That's often your superpower they see before you do.

Ready to build a leadership identity that feels authentically YOU?

🎯 Enroll in the 90-Day Brand Authority Framework Course and go through the structured process of discovering your strengths, clarifying your values, identifying your DCA, and building a brand that reflects your authentic leadership style.

Who in your life is helping you see yourself and your future more clearly?

Coach CeJay Bromell credits a significant part of his healing and growth to one person: his fiancée, Danielle.

He was blessed to have someone in his corner who helped expand his vision during a pivotal season in his life.

That matters because second chances rarely happen in isolation.

Many times, they are shaped within community, relationships, and partnership. Sometimes it takes the voice, support, and perspective of someone who truly loves you to help you see life differently and believe in what is still possible.

The people around you matter.

✔️They will either expand your vision or shrink it.
✔️They will either help you see your potential or reinforce your limitations.
✔️They will either support your comeback or keep you stuck in what was.

For entrepreneurs, dreamers, and anyone navigating a second chance, this is worth thinking about:

Who is in your corner and genuinely invested in your growth, not for what they can gain, but because they truly believe in you?

And if you do not have that person yet, perhaps that is part of the work — building real relationships and meaningful partnerships that can support your healing, your growth, and your next chapter.

🏀Athletes thrive with coaches who believe in them.
👩🏽‍💼Entrepreneurs grow with partners who support them.
💭Dreamers go further when they are surrounded by people who champion them.

Discover the power of partnership in building your comeback.

Your message cannot make an impact if it stays trapped in your head.

Your story cannot inspire others if you never share it. And your business cannot grow if you keep yourself hidden.

The truth is that the world may very well need what you have. But people need access to it. That is why visibility matters.
