🏆 Honored. Grateful. Purposefully Aligned. 💐
I am deeply honored and humbled to be selected as the 2026 Linda Richardson Minority Business of the Year Award recipient, presented by CORE DMV and The Money Chic during the Capital Connections celebration in recognition of Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week.
This recognition is more than an award. It is a testament to perseverance, purpose, leadership, and the power of showing up for communities that are too often overlooked.
As the Founder and Executive Director of No Struggle No Success, Inc., I have dedicated my work to creating opportunities, restoring lives, strengthening families, and ensuring that justice-impacted individuals have access to the resources necessary to build sustainable futures.
A special thank you to CORE DMV for recognizing the importance of minority leadership, entrepreneurship, and community empowerment. At a time when access to resources and opportunities remains a challenge, your commitment to investing in minority businesses is both necessary and inspiring.
To Dr. Darvincia Warren, affectionately known as The Money Chic, I am especially grateful for our connection. God’s timing is always intentional! Our alignment in serving communities throughout Maryland and Washington, D.C., through essential financial literacy services, economic empowerment, and generational wealth-building is truly meaningful.

Thank you for your partnership, your vision, and your commitment to ensuring that financial education reaches those who need it most.
I accept this recognition with gratitude, but also with a renewed responsibility to continue advocating, building partnerships, and opening doors for others.
This award represents more than my individual journey. It represents every person, family, and community whose future we are working to transform.
Thank you, CORE DMV, The Money Chic, and everyone who continues to believe in the mission.
Thanks To Jayquan Jenkins for showing up for me...Purpose & Legacy.
