Faith, Focus & Fearless: Lateshia Pearson on Building from the Ground Up and Breaking Stereotypes

When people said Mississippi couldn’t do it — Lateshia Pearson proved they could. On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Sh$w, CJ sits down with Lateshia Pearson — entrepreneur, visionary, and star of OWN Network’s hit reality series Belle Collective — to talk about what it means to build a brand from faith, purpose, and perseverance. Lateshia shares her powerful journey from working as a paralegal and bail bondsman to launching Women’s Brunch Mississippi, a movement redefining how Southern women connect, collaborate, and create generational wealth. Together, CJ and Lateshia break down: The power of faith-led entrepreneurship Breaking stereotypes and putting Mississippi on the map How to build something from nothing — and make it last The discipline and consistency it takes to go from idea to empire “Everything I do comes from a place of purpose. I just wanted to show that women — especially Black women in the South — can build, collaborate, and rise together.” This is an inspiring, transparent, and necessary conversation about vision, validation, and valuing your calling — even when others overlook it.
