Every once in a while, we hear a story that floors us. Christelle Biiga’s story is one of them.
Today, she gets clients in front of the right podcast audiences to grow their businesses. Her company is called Exposure Maven.
As a young girl in Cameroon, she bought into the American Dream. She knew no one in the states. Had no family or friends stateside. And could barely speak English at the time. But she still bought a one-way ticket to LAX.
What Christelle couldn’t know was that the next few years would stretch her resilience, patience, and spirit to their absolute limits. She would find herself coping with stress, trauma, and self-doubt. And she would discover just how much she was capable of as an entrepreneur.
Christelle talks about:
- Being illegally detained at LAX
- Spending 9 months in a detention center
- Persistence in the face of doubt and obstacles
- How her trauma resurfaced in the middle of a shift
- Sharing her traumatic story and overcoming shame
- The importance of staying busy and embracing unpredictability
