In this solo episode of the Black Canadian Creators Podcast, host Sherley introduces herself and shares a powerful and personal message for creators, dreamers, and entrepreneurs: you don’t need a blueprint—just a deep why, your people, and the courage to start where you are.

Sherley reflects share who she is, a content creator you should know and on how the Black Canadian Creators platform began: no logo, no strategy, no budget—but a real need for community and visibility. From a humble Facebook group to a multi-platform movement, she proves that momentum beats perfection and consistency beats complexity.

This episode is a heartfelt nudge for anyone holding back on launching their blog, podcast, app, book, or brand. If you’re waiting for permission, this is it. Start now. Start small. Start scrappy.y.

Tune in for:

✅ A behind-the-scenes look at how Black Canadian Creators began

✅ Why perfection is the enemy of momentum

✅ What happens when you build before you’re “ready”

✅ A call to creators to build out loud and share the journey

Creator’s Note:

“I didn’t have a five-year plan. I didn’t even have a logo. But I had a gut feeling that if I needed this space, someone else needed it too.”

This episode is a nudge, a permission slip, and a challenge. Whether it’s a blog, a podcast, a newsletter, an app—or just the start of a dream—start where you are. Let people witness your growth. You don’t need to be ready. You just need to be real.
