ENGAGED: From Underserved to Unstoppable
For Julia “CEO” Shannon, legacy isn’t a tagline — it’s lives transformed. The Global BuildUp Initiative (GBUI) is more than a program; it’s a proven model empowering underserved entrepreneurs and changemakers to bridge the gap between dreams and sustainable success. Now entering its second cohort, GBUI equips single moms, formerly incarcerated leaders, teen creatives, and more with tools, strategy, and genuine community. Rooted in shared equity and strategic partnerships, it’s where ecosystem meets execution — creating infrastructure, not just inspiration.
