Build what you once needed. You are not too late. You are right on time.”Tough times don’t last, Tough people do!”

For Chantel Powell, founder of Play Pits, this is a quote her father would tell her growing up, and they still remind each other of it to this day. She truly embodies this mantra.

Just six months after launching her brand in Target, a devastating 3:00 a.m. warehouse fire meant she lost everything.

But instead of giving up, she chose to rebuild. The Black Ambition community provided the vital resources and a “soft spot” to land during her most vulnerable time.

Every entrepreneur faces setbacks, but true success is defined by how you overcome them.
