She MOPPED floors at night so nobody would see her. Now she runs a 7-FIGURE Business.

Career & LeadershipEntrepreneurship
Written By Katheline Jean-Pierre

Barnes-Humphrey's story isn't just another "entrepreneur overcomes adversity" tale. It's a masterclass in what happens when you strip away every external marker of success—the title, the salary, the respect, and have to find worth in yourself when society tells you you're worthless.

She mopped floors while building an empire. She scored recreational basketball games while creating content that would reach hundreds of thousands. She did whatever it took because she understood something fundamental: your value isn't determined by your job title or your LinkedIn profile. Real transformation isn't pretty... sometimes you have to bury the old version of yourself in whatever vessel you can find and start over.
