Thinking above the line EP. 17 The UNBREAKABLE with Mimi Cleckley.
Mimi Cleckley is unbreakable, and this conversation shows you why.
She talks about childhood without love and figuring out what love looks like when you've never had it. She talks about abuse, neglect, and deciding not to let it write the rest of her story. She talks about going viral because she told the truth, about buying a fixer-upper, and about doing the work with her own hands while raising a child.
I sat down with Jordan Foust for Thinking Above the Line to ask Mimi how she did it. Not the headline version. The steps. The decisions. The moments she almost quit and didn't.
Mimi is one of our ImpactFluence students at Black Action Network Committee (BANC) in Beaver Falls. Her brand is Fixing My F***ing House Again, and if you've followed her journey, you already know the honesty is the point.
If you've been through something and wondered whether you could come out on the other side, press play. Then share it with somebody who needs it.
