EXPANDED VERSION: Trauma-informed Tattoo Therapist, Life Coach. Lifestyle Influencer. Black Creative Entrepreneurship Thought Leader. Personal Brand Betty. Curator of Culture. Anthropologist. While these are just a few of the titles Imani K Brown is known by, a more fitting description might simply be: 

Magical.

As Founder of Little INKPLAY Shop and its brand family known from DC to Japan, Imani has made it her mission to guide emerging and experienced Black creatives through the twists and turns of entrepreneurship, building scalable business foundations and achieving sustainable success.

A fearless innovator and expert in social selling, artist development, and cultivating culture, Imani is well-versed on how to use timeless strategies and methods to exalt creatives as authentic leaders and icons in an over-crowded marketplace.

In just 7 years, Imani went from opening a bootstrapped business, working as an unpaid solo entrepreneur to growing a multi six-figure company during a pandemic to stepping into the CEO role and launching her coaching business.

To date, her tattoo therapy practice has supported over 1,000 individuals on their journey to uncovering their authentic selves, through tattoo. Over half of them were neurodivergent professionals seeking to package themselves, fully and carve their own lanes as authentic leaders in their professions. Two-thirds of these creative misfits simply took action from life-strategies shared over tattoo, while one-third hired Imani to coach them through unmasking themselves to starting and growing their own brands - a game-changer for Black creatives.

With over twenty years in the entrepreneurship and tattoo game, Imani has an impressive list of personal and professional accomplishments. Among her most notable achievements is the creation of her lifestyle methodology, the Y.U.M.E. methodology - responsible for the success tattoo, brand and life coaching journeys she has guide thus far.

When it comes to reframing how ambitious creatives do business, no one does it better than Imani K Brown.
