In this episode of Black Women Will Save Black Women, Kamika opens the Fail Forward File with a reflection on fear, control, and why peace comes from focusing on what's actually yours to hold. She's joined by entrepreneur and designer Cira Wright-Childress of GoGo Lush for a candid conversation about moving through uncertainty, taking imperfect action and building a business that gives you time and freedom, not just revenue.

Together, they unpack how to acknowledge fear without letting it stop you, why the best move is often to do it scared and how imperfect action accelerates learning. Cira shares how being an early adopter of platforms like TikTok and live shopping helped scale her brand, why content is a numbers game and how an MLM background taught resilience. Kamika closes with this week's S.A.V.E. Strategy: Validate your experience so fear becomes data, not a verdict.

Cira Wright‑Childress is the founder and designer of GoGo Lush, a jewelry brand she launched in 2011 to build a business that reflects her vision of success as a young Black woman. After starting in corporate at 22 and seeing a lack of representation, Cira turned a childhood passion for jewelry into a global design practice focused on joy, craftsmanship and economic independence.
