Steele’s life reflects a rhythm familiar to many Black women entrepreneurs: working multiple jobs, juggling family commitments, and creating with limited resources.

I see you. I acknowledge the unspoken struggles you bear, the weight of pain, disappointment, and trauma that often feels like a constant companion. It’s not your fault.
