Futureland365

In this powerful episode of Futureland 365, we’re joined by two dynamic community builders, Ms. Edwards and Nanekia "Nikki", the leaders behind Cleveland’s Pink Party Retreat, Pink & Black Honors, and the new Men’s initiative: ManCave 216. Hosted by Nikki B and Just Joseph, this deep-dive conversation explores what it really takes to build purpose-driven spaces rooted in love, community, and faith.

From launching a daycare center after walking away from a law enforcement career, to birthing multiple platforms that empower women, men, and entrepreneurs, Ms. Edwards shares her inspiring journey—full of faith, failure, and triumph. Nikki reflects on the transition from a career in higher education and volunteering for Pink Party Retreat to Executive Director, and the sisterhood that has fueled their mission.
