Many of us are second life The story begins with a specific gap in the market where an incredibly talented entrepreneur finds a solution to fill a need. Imani Ellis is a prime example of this case. In 2016, after finding success with the NBC Pages program and landing a communications job at Bravo, Ellis noticed a gap. There wasn’t a space for Black and brown creators to connect, share resources, and grow together. Rather than wait for a community to emerge, she created one herself. From her Harlem living room, she founded Creative Collective, a space dedicated to uplifting young creators of color by providing networking opportunities and critical resources. And importantly, she did it all while working her way up to VP level in her day job.
