5 Black Creators to Inspire You

Eve Guzman: Earning 7-Figures and Helping Over 1M Clients as a Nutrition Coach 

Eve Guzman, MLS (ASCP), MBA is a medical laboratory scientist, nutritionist, researcher, speaker, and business coach for fitness coaches. She’s also a macro nutrition expert with 23 years of experience, which is the foundation for her role as CEO of MacroU — a metabolism and macro nutrition coaching company which aims to help women improve their health, ditch fad diets, lose weight, and eat real food without being restricted.

Eve also helps coaches build confidence in handling complex health cases—like hormonal imbalances and stalled weight loss—using a root-cause, macro-based approach to nutrition. Through her nutrition coaching and business certification program, she helps coaches become certified macro nutrition coaches, equipping them with the skills and strategies they need to succeed.

She started her business because she saw a need for more evidence-based coaching in the nutrition space. Through her programs — which includes coaching, courses, and certifications — Eve has built a 7-figure business that has certified over 1,700 nutrition coaches and has helped a combined 1.1 million clients to date.

“As a Black entrepreneur, my journey has taught me the importance of resilience, authenticity, and creating opportunities for others,” says Eve.

“It’s shaped my commitment to empowering coaches—not just with the knowledge to deliver exceptional results, but with the tools to build businesses that reflect their values and create lasting, positive change in their communities who didn’t grow up learning about nutrition and fitness.”

Eve’s advice to the next generation of Black entrepreneurs and creators is to stay rooted in your mission and never underestimate the power of your voice. 

“Embrace what makes you unique—it’s your superpower,” she says. “Remember that success isn’t just about the results you achieve, but about the impact you bring to your work. Stay consistent, stay curious, and trust that your perspective is needed.”

Dr. Simone Ellis: Achieving Six-Figure Success and Impacting Thousands of Healthcare Professionals

‍Dr. Simone Ellis is a thought leader, entrepreneur, and coach who has transformed the landscape of healthcare and business, particularly in the dental industry. After 15 years of practicing dentistry and eventually selling her practice, Dr. Simone has built and sold multiple multimillion-dollar practices. She now uses her experience to help high-performing doctors and healthcare professionals achieve financial freedom by increasing revenue and building systems of peace and productivity.

Her journey began when she recognized the lack of resources and mentorship available to minority professionals in healthcare. 

“Navigating the challenges as a woman of color in a predominantly male industry taught me resilience and the importance of representation,” she says.

“I wanted to break barriers and create pathways for others, showing that success is achievable regardless of background. This mission continues to fuel my passion and shapes my approach to leadership and business.”

Dr. Simone offers coaching, leadership training, and business consulting to help doctors create successful, patient-centric practices. Additionally, she mentors young professionals, particularly African-American women in healthcare, guiding them through challenges and inspiring them to build impactful legacies.

She’s achieved six-figure success through her coaching programs, speaking engagements, and brand partnerships. Dr. Simone has also impacted thousands of healthcare professionals by helping them create sustainable, patient-focused practices while achieving financial independence.

“Dream big, but work even bigger,” she says. “Surround yourself with people who challenge you to grow and stay true to your mission. Most importantly, remember that your voice and story matter—use them to inspire and uplift others.”

Kerry Marshall Jr.: Building a Six-Figure Membership Platform Teaching Guitar 

Kerry Marshall Jr. is the owner and founder of Kerry’s Kamp, an online guitar learning platform dedicated to helping musicians master R&B, Neo-Soul, and Gospel guitar.

At Kerry’s Kamp, Kerry provides structured lessons, mentorship, and a supportive community for guitarists who want to develop their skills. The program focuses on practical techniques, feel, and groove, helping musicians at all levels break out of the box and truly express themselves through music.

He started Kerry’s Kamp because he saw a gap in the guitar education space—there weren’t enough resources focused on the feel and emotion of R&B, Neo-Soul, and Gospel.

“As a Black entrepreneur and musician, my journey has been about staying authentic, overcoming barriers, and building a community that makes learning accessible to all,” says Kerry.

“Representation matters, and I wanted to create a space where aspiring musicians could see someone like them excelling and teaching.”

Having appeared on countless shows including Good Morning America and the Jimmy Kimmel Show, one of his favorite parts of his job is seeing the transformation in his students. “Watching someone go from struggling with basic chords to confidently playing soulful licks and expressing themselves through their guitar is incredibly rewarding.”

Since creating Kerry’s Kamp on Kajabi, Kerry has built his membership platform to over $400K in revenue. 

“I’ve been able to help thousands of guitarists worldwide, and that impact means more than any dollar amount,” says Kerry. “Stay consistent, stay authentic, and build something that truly serves people. Don’t be afraid to take risks, and always keep learning. Surround yourself with a strong community, and remember that success isn’t just about money—it’s about impact.”

Rosemary Lewis: Scaling Real Estate Bestie to a Multiple Six-Figure Business 

Rosemary Lewis is a real estate broker, coach, and the creator of Real Estate Bestie. After spending 14 years as an elementary school teacher, Rosemary uses her background in education to teach women in real estate how to build multiple six-figure businesses that are authentic and sustainable.

Through digital courses, coaching, masterminds, and community, Rosemary equips agents with the strategies, systems, and confidence to succeed. Whether it’s through her Real Estate Bestie Accelerator or her YouTube content, she provides real-world insights and faith-based encouragement to help agents get unstuck and take action.

Real estate can be overwhelming for new agents, but through her programs on Kajabi, Rosemary’s mission is to make sure no agent feels like they’re figuring it out alone.

“As a Black entrepreneur, I’ve learned that representation matters,” she says. “Many of us didn’t grow up seeing examples of Black women thriving in business ownership, especially in real estate. That’s why I’m intentional about showing up and sharing my journey."

"I want to be the example that I didn’t always have, so the next generation knows that success is possible for them, too.”

Real Estate Bestie has grown into a multiple six-figure business. More importantly, Rosemary has had the privilege of helping hundreds of women realtors create businesses that fund their families, build generational wealth, and allow them to live life on their terms. “Through my coaching programs, masterminds, and free content, I’ve equipped realtors with the tools to confidently close more deals, create consistent income, and show up powerfully in their communities,” she says.”

Gahmya Drummond-Bey: Earning Over Six Figures and Securing Global Reach 

Gahmya Drummond-Bey is the founder of Evolved Teacher, a learning and empowerment platform that provides personal growth programs for children and those who teach them. As an educator, curriculum designer, and coach, Gahmya’s goal is to help prepare the next generation to be healthy digital and global citizens. Her program also helps leaders, organizations, and schools to create programs that are more transformational and fitting for today's evolved kid.

Gahmya decided to start her business after teaching in over 30 countries and realizing there are similarities among the world's most happy, healthy, and academically successful children. She also found that there was a gap in support that those children needed to achieve their own dreams.

Since launching on Kajabi, Evolved Teacher has earned multiple six figures in revenue and reached over 60 countries.

“My advice for encouraging the next generation of Black entrepreneurs and creators is to never water down your edge,” says Gahmya.

“We all have something about us that is unique—and oftentimes, as minorities, we are told to hide that. Don't. Lean in—you'll be glad you did and your audience will, too.”
