## Resource

Christina Faith has been building for 20 years. She started with a DSLR in 2006, ran a record label, launched her first business in college, and has now opened a 2,500 sq. ft. creative production space that's also becoming a live music venue. She's self-taught, faith-driven, and one of the most grounded voices in the creative space right now. In this Coffee Time Kicks conversation, Mike sits down with Christina to talk about growing up not being able to afford sneakers, making her own money by 7th grade just to grab a pair of Penny Hardaways, and why everything she posts today is pure love... no brand check required. They also get into what it really takes to build something that lasts, why consistency beats everything, and why creating for a bag instead of a purpose is the thing that stops most people before they ever get started.
