Name: Ada Brooks | Business: Ada Brooks Consultant (ABC)
Welcome to our Spark! spotlight series, where we introduce you to the amazing entrepreneurs who are participating in our Spark! 2024 program with a quick Q&A! Spark! is a small business pre-accelerator that puts the right people, opportunities, and access in place for local entrepreneurs in Arkansas to grow their venture to the next level.
Can you tell us a little about yourself and what motivated you to join Spark!?
I am driven, and the first person to graduate college in my family. I was a single person who raised two adult sons with 6 grandchildren. I am passionate about giving back to the community and, watching our young people achieve their dreams and becoming productive citizens. What motivated me to join Spark is that I cannot do it alone. Spark came along just in time to help push me to achieve my goal of growing ABC and giving back to the community.
What are your short-term and long-term career goals, and how do you hope this program will help you achieve them?
My short-term goal is to grow ABC Marketing, material flyers, brochures, and conferences. Long Term goal is to travel to the rural areas of Arkansas to share ABC and have my own office building. This program will help me to achieve my goals through more education and exposure to different organizations.
What is the most valuable piece of business advice you’ve been given?
You do not have to be right, just effective, and stay consistent.
What is a professional achievement that you are most proud of and why?
Step out on faith and starting, Ada Brooks Consultant, because I didn’t see anyone in our community offering this information to our black youth and those re-entering back into society.
