Nekeya Parks, a mindset mentor, revealed that she established a $70 million business while coping with depression. At the 2026 TrueLife Experience in Accra, she encouraged attendees to rediscover their original dreams before societal pressures and personal fears interfered. Parks challenged people to ponder their youthful aspirations before the world imposed limitations.
She emphasized that conventional careers like engineering, medicine, and law were not inherently aligned with an individual's true calling or divine purpose. Parks' most daring act was believing, despite her upbringing's challenges and perceived unworthiness, that she deserved a healthy, prosperous life. She built her $70 million enterprise while experiencing depression, underscoring that financial prosperity does not guarantee personal fulfillment.
Parks, whose Jamaican roots instilled a value for hard work and security, stressed that wealth alone does not lead to happiness if it does not align with one's sense of purpose. The 2026 TrueLife Experience, a two-day event, gathered business leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and emerging professionals to discuss courage, personal growth, and purposeful action.
