What happens when two completely different journeys come together around one shared vision?

In this episode of Keep It Positive, Sweetie, Crystal sits down with Cloudy Donut Co. founders Zewiditu Jewel and  Derrick Faulcon for a conversation about the people behind the brand, building a business together, and creating something that challenges what ownership can look like in communities that are often overlooked.

Derrick opens up about the years he spent incarcerated and the life he built afterward, while Zewiditu shares how her background in education shaped the way she approaches leadership and impact. Together, they talk about taking a chance on Cloudy, navigating business and their relationship, and their philosophy of “reverse gentrification.

It’s a conversation about love, risk, representation, partnership, and the responsibility that comes with creating a path someone else can follow.

Success doesn’t always come when you expect it—but that doesn’t mean you’re behind.
This week on Keep It Positive, Sweetie, Crystal sits down with marketing executive, entrepreneur, and IBest Wines founder Ingrid Best to talk about what it really means to bet on yourself after years of building someone else’s vision.

From becoming a young mother to spending more than two decades helping shape iconic luxury brands before launching her own, Ingrid shares the lessons she learned about courage, preparation, faith, and trusting God’s timing.

If you’ve ever questioned whether it’s too late to start, wondered if your current season is preparing you for something greater, or needed the reminder that your biggest leap begins with believing in yourself, this conversation is for you.

Because sometimes the greatest investment you’ll ever make… is betting on yourself.
