Every day we have a choice. We can support an up and coming podcaster, try a new family-run restaurant, join a boutique gym started by a local fitness champ or we could keep giving away our money to the handful of giants who already control so much of our commerce. Our daily decisions impact the kind world we live in; if we want a world where small businesses are growing and artists and creatives are thriving then we should support them with our time, money and attention. We’re proud to highlight inspiring creatives and entrepreneurs each week in Hidden Gems series. Check out some of our latest local gem features below.

Ashma Pandeya
It’s definitely still not smooth even now. There are days when I barely sleep because I’m juggling school, assignments, exams, and content deadlines — and I still have to show up smiling in videos. It’s exhausting at times, and people often don’t see the hard side of it. But I’m slowly learning to manage my time better. It’s not easy, but this is something I’ve loved since I was a child, so despite the challenges, I truly enjoy it. Read more>>
Rubi Ochoa
I made the courageous decision to travel to Colombia, a country recognized for its excellence in body sculpting techniques and postoperative care. I came with a heart full of hope and the desire to learn everything he could. For several months, I immersed myself in a new world, traveling and learning from the best in the countryside. My goal was to combine the best of medicine and my medical knowledge and beauty, creating something unique that I could offer to my community. That experience not only trained me, but lifted me off the ground and showed me that, even when you feel like a loser, you can find your way back. Read more>>
Michelle Kopfer Roberts
I think any career has struggles. I’ve been doing this for 17 years now, so quite awhile! The challenges are the same as for any designer: making clients happy and hitting deadlines! There are often hundreds of details for any given project, but my team and I tend to be very organized, so that helps. But the very best and happiest part of what we do is getting to see our clients living in their completed homes. It brings us such joy! Read more>>
Jenna Rockett
In 2010, while working on a grad school project about the social implications of a new website called Chatroulette—a video chat platform that connected strangers at random from across the globe—I met someone unexpectedly. Against all odds, he lived in the same city and shared my creative passions. That random digital encounter turned out to be the love of my life. Just two weeks later, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Thankfully, the malignancy was self-contained and removed through major surgery. He stood by me through it all, and the experience gave me a renewed sense of purpose. I left grad school, and together, we launched our multimedia business: Rockett.net. Read more>>
Bob Bowser
They all have their own individual personalities.
I have since moved into an environment where I bring some of my photos to life capturing wildlife or nature in a setting that most people may not have ever seen before. One conversation I had with a lady had never heard of the Milky Way before. I fought back a chuckle, but was more than willing to show her other photos I had taken of the Milky Way. Our busy lives today, many people don’t get to see the natural beauty that is around us. If I am able to share with people what I have been able to capture through my lens. I feel I have been given a gift of seeing many different things in life and if I can inspire others to get out and hike out in nature. Read more>>
Damon Williams
I always had an interest in graphics and cars. I walked into a print shop to get some labels done and pretty much gravitated to the industry and wanted to learn more about graphics and printing. Then I found out you could print the graphics and install them in the vehicles and it blew my mind how cool it was. So, me being a teacher I went back to community college and learned how to use Adobe software for graphics because that’s where it all starts and then began taking courses from 3m and Avery Dennison on wrapping vehicles. So now, I do stickers,banners,graphics, poster and vehicle wraps from a large format printer. Read more>>
Jacklyn Doan
Since that first CP1 class, I have worked on an upwards of fifteen short films and independent projects—about five of those being written, produced, and/or directed by myself—and am in constant search of more. Through my writing and filmmaking, I hope to convey the unique yet all-together shared experiences of the human condition and the exploration of identity Read more>>
Stephanie M Seaton
No, it has not been a smooth road—far from it. My journey has been paved with pain, trauma, and trials that forced me to confront deep emotional wounds and spiritual battles. I’ve endured the weight of abuse, abandonment, and disappointment, including the heartache of three failed marriages where I was left feeling unloved, unseen, and spiritually uncovered. Each of those experiences tested my worth and my faith, especially when those I trusted to lead as men of God could not walk in the intimacy or healing required to love me properly. Read more>>
Catherine Mitchell
We moved into an apartment on Cleveland Street. My sisters and I hoped this was our chance to build a closer bond with our mom. But shortly after, a new man moved in—unannounced, unintroduced. Once again, my mother’s focus was on her relationships rather than her children. Though I admired her for returning to school and earning a degree, we never felt the love and attention we longed for. When she wasn’t at work, she was out gambling or at bingo. At home, the responsibility fell on my older sister D, who basically raised us. She did her best. She combed our hair, made sure we ate, and showed us love when no one else did. Read more>>
Nicholas Brooks
Hi, I’m Nicholas Brooks — Founder and CEO of Velvet Stems, a luxury floral design studio based in Mesquite, Texas, and Enrich Enterprises, the parent company under which I offer business consulting, event planning, and travel services. My journey into entrepreneurship began long before I ever owned a business. In fact, it started in elementary school with fundraisers. I still remember the excitement of selling something and seeing someone actually buy it from me. That feeling — that thrill of connection and exchange — never left. I even won the school’s top seller contest, which earned me a ride in a black limousine and lunch at an Italian restaurant — a moment that made me feel seen, celebrated, and confident in my ability to create value. Read more>>
Ali Almighty
It hasn’t been a smooth road but definitely worth it. Growing up in a small town as a creative Black woman, it felt like I was always breaking some kind of mold or expectation. There weren’t many examples of people doing what I wanted to do—especially not in music. I’ve faced doubts, rejection and people trying to box me in. There were times I questioned if my voice would be heard. But instead of letting it stop me, I used that pressure to fuel the fire. Every setback has just been another reason to go harder, stay true, and show people what’s possible when you don’t give up on yourself. Read more>>
Taronna Perkins
No, it hasn’t been a smooth road at all—and honestly, I wouldn’t want it to be. Becoming Her Within was birthed from pain, trauma, and years of emotional silence. My journey has been layered with deep struggles: childhood abuse, broken relationships, financial instability, losing myself in the identities others tried to force on me, and learning to raise daughters while healing from wounds I hadn’t even fully named yet. Read more>>
Christi Jeter
As much as I value growth, I also deeply value relationships. One of the hardest parts of this journey has been parting ways with some owners over time. Whether it’s due to differing expectations, changing goals, or simply growing in different directions, those decisions are never easy. I always try to make things work for everyone, because I believe in clear communication, mutual respect, and doing what’s right. Even in those challenging moments, I aim to leave doors open, relationships intact, and integrity at the heart of everything we Read more>>
Jade Young
But my love for creating goes way back, even to childhood. I remember being given this old tape recorder, and every day I’d bring it to school to document life from my perspective, talking to friends, capturing little moments, and just being a kid. That early curiosity grew into a love for content creation. I eventually started a YouTube channel where I share my travels and day-to-day life, and it kind of came full circle. Read more>>
Shea Irion
Photography runs in my blood both of my parents have done it, so maybe it was just meant to be. But like a lot of people, I didn’t jump into it right away. For a while, I was juggling three different jobs, constantly praying and asking God to show me which direction to go. I was overwhelmed, stretched thin, and waiting for clarity. Read more>>
Kelley Doss, LPC-S, CEDS-C
After graduate school I was hired at a treatment center for eating disorders. This was a population I had always known I wanted to specialize in-being recovered myself, I could understand the mindset that comes with disordered eating and body image distress. While my personal connection to the treatment of eating disorders led me to this work, my job experience provided me with extensive training opportunities and education to effectively help others in their recovery journey. Prior to leaving the treatment center to pursue private practice I was promoted to Team Leader, and helped write curriculum for the groups our clients participated in; this experience solidified my expertise in eating disorders.

Tatiana
I’ve always felt drawn to being in front of the camera — from making silly home videos as a little girl to staging fun photoshoots just for the joy of it. Fashion and makeup were my creative escape growing up, but for the longest time, I never imagined they could be more than just a hobby. I took the traditional path: I went to college, graduated with honors — I’ve always been a bit of a nerd and genuinely loved school. But no matter what I did, something kept pulling me back to creating and sharing my passions with the world. Read more>>
Pearce Dunlap
I love the medium and making unexpected things with it. I learned how to make stained glass when I had an idea for a lamp I wanted to make, after that the flood gates opened. I am self taught by reading a lot of bits online, learning from local shops, and just experimenting with the limits of glass. I have also met other talented Stained Glass artists who have taught me a few things. One of the main reasons we wanted to start a studio was to be able to teach classes. I love to teach, and when people want to learn, you can have a lot of fun. Read more>>
Caden Coleman
Today, I serve as the Communications & Brand Manager at Valiant Residential, one of the nation’s top multifamily property management companies. I lead brand development, internal and external communications, social media strategy, and cross-functional marketing efforts—all designed to elevate the Valiant voice and create meaningful engagement with our teams, residents, and communities.

Erin Desabelle
Not at all — and I don’t think it ever is for anyone building something from the ground up. One of my biggest struggles was self-doubt, especially in the beginning. I constantly questioned whether my bolder, moodier design approach would be accepted in a world that often celebrates light, bright, and neutral. I spent a lot of time second-guessing my instincts, worried that leaning into what I loved would turn people away. Read more>>
Jesse & Mara Robles
We started small – literally, in a tiny bedroom. One side for nails, the other for teeth whitening and Grillz. Our first clients were friends and family. Word got out, and soon their people were booking too. We’ll never forget that moment when we looked at our calendar and realized: it went from 1-2 appointments a week… to 20. That was when it really hit us , this is more than just a side hustle. This is something real. Read more>>
Lucero
I am a first generation student that recently graduated December of 2024 from Southern Methodist University, with a bachelors degree in fashion media from the Meadows School of Arts, and a minor in business administration from the Cox School of Business. I decided to pursue fashion media and business because my degree allowed me to tap into my creative (I am left-handed) side (I also found that fashion media was very closely aligned with the beauty industry), while still learning as much information regarding the topics of business and entrepreneurship.

Joshua Clay
The idea of me moving to Texas was initially spearheaded by my cousin, who was already a Texas resident in 2010. Moving from the New Orleans area in the hopes of finding work, I began locating employment opportunities pretty fast but my initial love and interest rooted from art was always present. I’d always draw at work and people would complement saying “you don’t need to be here, you need to do something with your art.” And interested, it was never something took seriously, primarily because I didn’t have a direction of the “how to”.

Mildred Garcia
I was very upset to see that my family and I were essentially being scammed and taken advantage of that I knew something had to be done and I created MN Financial in November of 2023 but officially launched in January 2024 and became the change that I wanted for my community. I created this small business because I want to educate my community of tax guidelines, answer any tax questions, and provide financial advice that can lead to reducing debt and gaining generational wealth. Every single of my clients gets my full attention during their appointment and support, and I truly believe that because of the principles that I hold in MN Financial is one of the reasons why clients come back and have gained their trust.

I got my first gig when I was 13 at Joe’s crab shack in Mesquite where I went to tables and showed close up magic and my dad would wait in the bar. Read more>>

This year we expanded yet again adding an upper division team so that if we had to move a player off the D division team they had a team with in the organization to go to. The “D-team” once again took first place in the season and won our third consecutive bid to GSWS in Houston. The “E-team” took 3rd place in season but fell just short of winning a bid in the End Of Season Tournament, and the “C-team” established a solid foundation of players to build upon for next year. As an organization we have also partnered with a local Non-Profit Pitbull Rescue group raising over $1,300.00 in small dollar donations to help save local dogs in distress and we are currently exploring other ways to increase our involvement with The Love Pit rescue.

Ruth Samuels
She immediately connected with a director, and to my surprise, I was hired on the spot—without going through the process others had to. That moment was the beginning of not only my new career journey but also a close, sister friendship. She took me under her wing, even though we had just met. I wasn’t looking to make new friends at the time—I had my fair share of experiences—but something about her spirit felt genuine. Read more>>
Tanner Garza
Later I went to college at Texas A&M and somehow found my way into the student newspaper The Battalion. I met some really amazing people there and continued to build on my photography skills leading a small team of photographers. I also lucked my way into working with one of the most talented photographers to ever come from Texas A&M, Andrew Hancock. He brought me to shoots with him for a few years and working with him I learned more and faster than I ever had before. He helped me build a base of technical knowledge and also taught me to push myself creatively. Read more>>
Alejandra Campa
On the 3rd day I had changed my mind that I would finish the training and then decide if I wanted to stay. Good news! I stayed and worked my way up to top stylist within 2 years. It was not easy and for all my lash artists and upcoming lash artist can agree, learning and mastering lashing is not for the weak. After almost 3 years I went on my own and became my own boss. It’s not an easy journey but through hard work and consistency my lash business continues to grow! Read more>>
Alisha Renee
I never saw myself as an entrepreneur. I wasn’t that kid selling lemonade at 10. But I knew one thing—I wanted time freedom, financial freedom, and control over my life. I started researching how people were monetizing online. I saw everyday people, not influencers with massive followings, turning side hustles into six-figure businesses just by learning digital skills. Read more>>
Popeye Carter
No it hasn’t at all. I’ve dealt with a lot of setbacks. Death recently, financial hardships & fallouts with family. But that’s the art of comedy because you can be dealing with something and something in that something can spark laughter. That’ll eventually spark a smile & a smile can be contagious. Inviting peace, love & joy in your life from laugh created by your pain. Cheering yourself up or someone else up with these simple things can inspire you to keep going. Read more>>
Devin Berryhill (TKG)
I started writing music when I was less than 10 years old, started rapping when I was 15. What started as a passion, quickly intensified and became my life. At 19 I was shot & moved to California to started business and my movement “Inspire Through Music” with my manager/ best friend “OTB”. Took over the Fresno, CA scene, had memorable moments like performing/ partying with “Shwayze”, helping famous rapper “B Real” of “Cypress Hill” open his dispensary in Fresno, Ca to name a few. Recently moved back to Dallas, Tx after my father passed away from esophageal cancer. Read more>>
Chrissy Collins
I’m an abstract artist. What matters most to me are unique color combinations, layering, and composition. I’m inspired by textiles, architecture, color, and works of art I’ve encountered in my travels. I love working in layers, building up paint so that earlier moments peek through underneath. The process involves allowing one layer to dry before coming back and adding more. My work is generally lighthearted, cheerful, and full of personality. I aim to create pieces that feel positive and interesting without being too predictable. Read more>>
Michael Rene
With a deep love for all things that smell good and a passion for natural body care, she brought a fresh energy to the brand.

Together, we infused the brand with a soulfulness that blends masculine edge and feminine elegance, creating something both elevated and approachable. Read more>>
Kenny Plaster
Our journey into the freedom movement began when one of our clients came in and started sharing some profound truths—things many would label as “conspiracy theories,” but with undeniable evidence to back them up. He told us about the United States operating as a corporation, the Federal Reserve system, and how things like our birth certificates are used as silent tools of enslavement. I had heard bits and pieces before, but this time, it hit different. He walked out to his car, brought back a thick stack of documents, and laid out the truth in black and white. Something in my soul lit up and said, “You have to research this.” Read more>>
Jacob Turner
I’m currently a Client Advisor for a mid-luxury company here in Dallas. Fashion has always been my go-to when it comes to art. I love both the history and the future of fashion—it’s ever-evolving and always exciting. Before I moved here, I had no idea that Dallas, TX was such a hotspot for fashion. After planting my roots here, I fell in love with the experience of building genuine relationships with the upper echelon and styling them for everything from elegant events and parties to their everyday lives.

Weddings can be stressful and full of tasks to check off, but we offered an experience bridesmaid for the bride to look into those details and also help the bride with the decisions happening in the wedding party itself. The bridesmaids for hire (your something blue), are here to assist the bride in a way possible. We do know those aunties, uncles or close friends can be difficult to work with or have them understand your request, so we brought this up to removed that element of stress when it comes to the bride wedding planning. From point A to point B, C and D, our packages have the bride and groom cover. I wanted to facilitate this entire process and for that I am willing to go the extra mile for my brides. Read more>>

Cafe A Laneth started as an online coffee bean shop. We roast our own beans upon order. I was introduced to coffee at an early age by my grandpa. He had the old school drip machine haha, this is where the inspiration came from. Now Cafe A Laneth has evolved into a mobile coffee cart, serving the DFW area. My Wife (Shae Douglas) brought the idea to my attention we went forward with it. She built the coffee cart herself!! Our cart specializes in iced coffees, some Japanese inspired creations as well as matcha!

LeeAnn Latimer
As I continued through grade school, I was always in advanced art classes or sketching something. When I left for college, I started at East TX A&M – Commerce and after two years, transferred out to UNT. Being a first generation college student is a challenge when you don’t have a lot of help navigating the degree options and financial opportunities. I had to figure it out on my own and transferring to a school that offered a degree in Interior Design seemed to be a good fit. Read more>>

Cassidy Scott
When I transferred to Texas A&M University, I became a member of the Texas A&M Women’s Chorus, was the featured vocalist for the university jazz band, and sang as a staffed soloist at Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Bryan, College Station. I also started taking lessons from my current voice teacher and competed in the Miss Texas Competition (Miss America) where I won many talent awards by singing arias from different operas. Competing for Miss Texas over these past 6 years gave me the confidence I needed to pursue my passion for music. Now, I am preparing for various auditions, competitions, and collaborations that will teach the next generation about classical music and opera. Read more>>

Joyce Caraway
The turning point came when I started a mentorship group for the African American girls on my current campus, where they make up less than 5% of the student population. I realized how deeply the lack of visibility impacted their confidence, sense of belonging, and even their academic performance. They needed a space where they felt seen, heard, and valued. And that’s when the vision for Joybird’s Treehouse came to life. Read more>>

‘Sekend
At Duncanville High School, I was in the band and played basketball my freshman year, but by sophomore year I discovered Berklee College of Music and set my sights fully on music. I auditioned, received a scholarship, and enrolled in 2013. Berklee elevated everything—classically trained from high school, I expanded into jazz, R&B, rock, country, and began performing regularly at weddings, private parties, and corporate events. While studying abroad in Valencia, Spain, I submitted my first audition for a wedding band from a practice room there—and that opened the door to a whole lane of professional work. Read more>>

Francisco J. Marquez
I never really took it serious until I took a beginner drawing class in community college, our professor was demonstrating us how to draw hair. His instructions were concise and easy to understand, a good professor really makes all the difference. I changed my major to fine arts as I was perusing my BFA and I loved all three years at UTA. I’ve never been so praised and encouraged in anything before, it felt amazing having the support from my professors and fellow classmates. I don’t I’d be where I am now without them. Read more>>
Erica Pepper
As an independent artist, I have encountered numerous challenges, particularly in promoting both myself and my art. I find it difficult to strike a balance between showcasing my work and sharing my story without over posting. I find it interesting how influencers manage this so efficiently, given that I am not particularly skilled with technology and find this part challenging. The technical aspect presents the greatest difficulty for me, whereas creativity comes naturally. Give me a canvas and paint and I am ready to go! Read more>>

Shun Johnson
Hello, Thank You for having me today, and Whew—where do I even begin? First I’m Shun Johnson a daughter, sister, friend, most importantly a Mother of two amazing children and a proud Grandmother of beautiful Mykah Michelle. My story isn’t at all pretty, but it’s mine. Real, raw, and covered in God’s grace. I became a mom at 15, and while that could’ve broke me, it built me. That moment lit a fire in me to push forward, love deeper, and never stop growing. Life didn’t give me a manual—but I kept showing up. Read more>>

Her great-great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and great-grandfather played in the San Francisco Symphony, and her grandmother toured and performed along the West Coast in vaudeville. During World War II, Amanda’s grandfather, a jazz pianist, and her grandmother, a dancer and performer in her own right, met while they entertained troops—he played the piano and she danced. On her father’s side, Amanda’s grandparents were Salvation Army ministers. They dedicated their lives to helping others. Her parents met in junior high while doing the musical Pajama Game, and her mother later sang with the Fort Worth Symphony. Read more>>
Simone Muschett
Growing up in Brooklyn, in the 90s presented many social and economic challenges that were out of our control, but part of our reality. I was able to endure many trials at home and in my community by just staying in school. School has always been my escape. It is the one thing that I do well. At home, praises were not a part of our culture. So, affirming and empowering language was something my teachers were able to give me that my parent couldn’t. Therefore, school became my safe space. Through every traumatic experience or adversity I have faced, it is clear that school and a quality education saved my life. Read more>>
Briana Pustka
I remember applying to a couple of colleges to continue on for my Bachelors, but there was one college I was most passionate about attending: The University of Texas at Austin. My dad is a Texas Longhorns fan, and I was raised just the same. Every football season we dedicated our weekends to Longhorn football, and any other sports they were involved in. Going to the University of Texas at Austin was a grand opportunity being one of the best universities in the state of Texas, and I wanted to make my dad proud in the process. Read more>>

While studying at the prestigious London College of Fashion, I was invited to work with Benefit Cosmetics — and that one opportunity gently shifted my path.

When I moved to Singapore, that passion grew — I became a well-known name in the expat community, known for not only makeup artistry but also for connecting with women deeply and personally.

Brandon & Sehrish Salazar
As for me (Brandon), I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit. At just 15 years old, I was selling selfie sticks and car phone holders door to door, and later ran a small snack business at school. I was inspired by my parents’ tireless work ethic, and I knew early on that I wanted to build something of my own. I began my career in healthcare as a licensed MRI technologist and currently work at Methodist Dallas. Serving others—whether through medicine or entrepreneurship—has always been a driving force in my life. Read more>>
Nari Saelim
I was able to experience way more in life than I did in America because I was surrounded by like-minded people with similar interests as me. I got more into motion design & working as a freelancer, printing my own products & posting on social media, and eventually built up enough experience to start monetising by myself and working with global brands. It wasn’t luck, don’t get me wrong, it was through my own deep work in my solitude that led me to be helpful to others and see opportunity to collaborate with me. Read more>>
Christena Garduno
Cancer has a way of shifting your perspective. It forced me to slow down, to listen to my body, and to rethink what it means to truly feel well. I started exploring healing therapies that went beyond what conventional medicine offered. From hyperbaric oxygen therapy to lymphatic treatments, infrared saunas, and IV support, I became immersed in the world of integrative wellness. These were not just services, they were lifelines during recovery. That experience planted a seed. Read more>>
