About Us

The Story Behind No Gatekeeping

For far too long, invaluable business strategies, critical funding insights, and exclusive networking opportunities have been “gatekept” from Black and minority communities. This isn’t just an observation; it’s a systemic barrier we’ve seen firsthand, hindering countless talented entrepreneurs from reaching their full potential. The No Gatekeeping: The Business Growth & Wealth Summit was born from a fierce passion to tear down these walls. We envisioned an event where there are no secrets, no limits – just real, actionable strategies shared directly by top experts who genuinely care about your success. It’s our answer to a silent plea for transparent, accessible information that empowers you to build real wealth and leave a lasting legacy. We’re committed to ensuring that the wisdom traditionally reserved for a select few is now available to everyone determined to succeed.

Meet the Founders

Our mission is deeply personal, driven by the lived experiences and unwavering dedication of our founders.
Makeisha Gross, Founder & CEO of Bizsentials Consulting Firm

Like many of you, I know firsthand the challenges and triumphs of building something from the ground up. As a Black woman and the Founder & CEO of Bizsentials Consulting Firm, I understand the unique hurdles we face as entrepreneurs of color. We often have to work twice as hard to get half the recognition, and access to resources can feel like an uphill battle. That’s why I created Bizsentials – to level the playing field and empower small businesses, particularly those owned by people of color, to not just survive, but thrive.


I’ve walked in your shoes. I know the late nights, the constant hustle, and the unwavering belief in your vision. At Bizsentials, we don’t just offer virtual support; we offer partnership. We become an extension of your team, understanding your specific needs and challenges, and working alongside you to build a sustainable and successful business. We’re not just consultants; we’re advocates, champions, and believers in your potential.

My journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s fueled my passion to help others succeed. I believe in the power of our community and the incredible innovation and resilience that resides within us. Bizsentials is more than just a business; it’s a platform to uplift and empower entrepreneurs of color, providing the support and resources necessary to break barriers and achieve lasting success.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Management (Marketing & Sales) from Fontbonne University and a Marketing Associate of Applied Science from Westwood College. I am also a Certified Marketing Professional and have completed a Leadership Development Program. But more importantly, I hold the lived experience of navigating the business world as a woman of color, and I bring that understanding and empathy to every client relationship.
If you’re a small business owner looking for a partner who understands your journey and is committed to your success, I invite you to connect with us at Bizsentials. Let’s build something amazing together.

Tiffany Brackens, Founder & CEO of The Solutions Expert

As a wife, mom, and Texas born and raised entrepreneur, I understand the constant juggle of balancing ambition with everyday life. My journey has deeply fueled my passion for creating solutions that streamline operations, foster work-life harmony, and ultimately empower entrepreneurs to thrive, not just survive.

With over 10 years of experience spanning operations management, brand strategy, grant writing, and web development, backed by a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, I bring a unique blend of strategic insight and technical prowess. I’ve walked the path of building and optimizing, and I know the systems and strategies that truly move the needle. My work is about cutting through complexity, finding efficient pathways, and ensuring that essential knowledge isn’t gatekept.

I’m driven by the belief that every entrepreneur deserves unhindered access to the tools and wisdom needed to scale their business and build their legacy. Whether it’s demystifying tech, optimizing workflows, or crafting compelling brand narratives, my focus is always on delivering actionable insights that free you to do what you do best.

Beyond the world of business, my diverse interests — from fashion and hair to anime, travel, and diving into the latest AI and tech innovations — keep my problem-solving mind sharp and my perspective fresh. This unique blend allows me to connect with entrepreneurs on multiple levels, truly understanding their challenges and helping them find balance.

I’m not just a service provider; I’m a dedicated partner, committed to seeing your vision come to life and ensuring you have the solutions you need for limitless growth.
