2022-05-31
She wanted to go to college to be an Interior Designer. But Faith McKinney’s dad saw no value in that and said he wouldn’t pay for college if she pursued it. He told her to go to college for business instead. She did and dropped out.
Listen in as Faith McKinney tells Jonaed about how manifestation helped her to break out of her introverted-shell and go from working as a janitor to sales, becoming a personal brand and media strategist and interviewing celebrities like Mike Pence, Kirk Franklin and many others.
