Ephesians 4:29 states, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." When stumbling across that scripture, Nafeesah had no idea what God was placing on her heart, but she knew it was going to be something big.

Nafeesah R. Leverett is a blogger, inspirational speaker, and Founder/CEO of Build Her Up, a Christian Lifestyle Blog designed to empower, encourage and support women through inspirational and spiritual content; while strengthening their relationship with God.

In 2017, after leaving an abusive relationship and battling with years of depression, Nafeesah contemplating suicide, but it was in her darkest hour that God showed her another way.

At the suggestion of her previous pastor, Nafeesah started therapy. It was at that moment where she realized that God was giving her exactly what she had been praying for, a FRESH START.

After receiving many beautiful responses, Nafeesah was proud of herself and thought her healing was complete, but God had something bigger in store. One night stumbling across her bible, she came across this scripture. "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." - Ephesians 4:29 NIV And just like that, God showed Nafeesah the purpose for her life, and Build Her Up was created on July 27, 2017. Nafeesah states, "I believe that God's vision was for me to use my testimony to encourage, support, and uplift women because I know what it's like to be ripped of everything and built back up."

Since launching Build Her Up in 2017, Nafeesah has graduated with her Bachelor's Degree in Marketing and started her MBA program in Sept of 2020, where she is studying Marketing as well. She continues to share her testimony through speaking engagements and also started an apparel line that encourages women to be confident in who they are. Nafeesah also provides marketing services for small businesses, which include social media management and start-up websites.

Nafeesah is a mentor at her church, sings on the choir/praise team, and is also a praise dancer. Nafeesah shares her mission statement below: "THROUGH BUILD HER UP, I WILL BUILD TO ENCOURAGE WOMEN IN GOD'S TRUTH; I WILL BUILD TO SUPPORT WOMEN THROUGH SPIRITUAL AND INSPIRATIONAL CONTENT, AND I WILL BUILD TO EMPOWER WOMEN TO BE THE WOMEN OF GOD THAT HE HAS DESTINED THEM TO BE."

Nafeesah plans to continue to share her story with women and show them how God has made a difference in her life. Nafeesah states, "I vow to continue to BUILD Up others because I know what it's like to knockdown. God picked me up, and I will never stop letting people know that."

Born and raised in Rochester, NY, Mark received his BS degree in Finance from Boston College and an MBA in Marketing from Tulane. He joined IBM in 1981 and received many awards including Rookie of the Year in the Southern Region and a Golden Circle award in 1988. Mark voluntarily left IBM in February 1994 and helped form Communiqué, a New Orleans based Internet Service Provider (ISP).

As President of the company, Communiqué quickly became the Gulf South’s fastest-growing ISP, building a client base of over 10,000 users. After Communiqué was purchased in 1997, Mark left a year later and formed EyeOnet, an Internet sales, and marketing consulting firm, which then merged with two other businesses to form a full-service network and Internet services company called Orange Twine. In November of 2000, Orange Twine was chosen by the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce as the Rising Tide Small Business of the Year in Technology.

In October of 2002, Mark assumed the role of President of the Louisiana Technology Council (LTC) to assist with the technology development of Louisiana. In November 2005, Mark was selected by the Governor’s office as Technology Leader of the Year for the State of Louisiana. Through his leadership, Louisiana became one of the top three states in the country in technology jobs and wage growth. In 2006, Louisiana was ranked 49th out of 50 states in technology employment. By the end of 2010, Louisiana had jumped to 32nd place.

In 2019, Mark self-published the book, “GIVE A DAMN! – The Ticket to Cultural Change” (www.giveadamnbook.com).  A highly enjoyable, engaging and quick read, GIVE A DAMN discusses the challenges facing society and business, how we got to where we are today, what needs to be done, and how a GIVE A DAMN attitude can culturally make a difference, both professionally and personally.  Mark has identified nine areas that have contributed to our ego driven society and why it’s causing much pain across business and the world.   Mark’s goal is to create a “GIVE A DAMN!” movement, an initiative that will change business and the world and offers suggestions on what people can do to make a difference.  Give a Damn has made a big difference in company cultures and has helped develop a new happier attitude in organizational success.  He has appeared on several national radio shows promoting his movement, including the Frankie Boyer Show (Boston), the Ed Tyll Show (Starcom radio in New York City) and The Tom Barnard Show (92 KQRS in Minnesota).  

Mark is a highly successful, energetic, thoughtful leader, entrepreneur and keynote speaker. His presentations provide for engaging and interesting stories, while also providing the motivation and insight to help businesses and individuals succeed at all levels.  Mark is a member of Entrepreneurial Organization (EO) of Louisiana and serves on the Board as Membership Chair.  Through his leadership, Mark helped EO of Louisiana become the fastest growing EO Chapter in the country.  In addition, EO of Louisiana received the Global Award for Excellence in Membership practices, which was awarded in Macau, China on April 14th, 2019.  Based on his leadership and success, in July of 2019, EO of Louisiana awarded Mark the “Marshall Klein Louisiana Entrepreneur of the Year” Award.

Jessie Coan is a strategic marketer who turns strategy into action. Nothing frustrates her more than having someone build a killer strategy and then have no idea how to execute it. That's the opposite of what she does. When people describe her, they say over and over "Jessie gets things done. She's a problem solver, no fear, figure it out marketer." Her marketing superpower is she turns problems (ie, not enough content, campaigns that aren't working, challenges with personalities on teams, failing go-to-market plans) into successes.   

Over the past 15 years, she has had the privilege of supporting B2B organizations by building brands, developing innovative marketing strategies, and managing fully integrated marketing campaigns that generate profitable revenue. Her success is attributed to partnering with cross-functional teams by developing targeted customer acquisition plans that result in the achievement of sales goals and increased customer awareness. She is passionate about building and leading high-performing marketing teams across strategy design, creative, digital, web, content, analytics/research, and communications.  

When she's not marketing, she's spending time with my favorite girl, Nellie (you can find her on Instagram @nelliestinks), or cooking up something tasty in the kitchen. She loves really bad movies and dad jokes. She attended Skidmore College and has a BS in Studio art. and a master's from Emerson College in Integrated Marketing Communications.
