About Me
I am Belinda Smith.
Born and raised in Cleveland, with lived experience in nearly every corner of the city and its surrounding suburbs, I am a multi-passionate generalist dedicated to empowering underserved Black women and children through hands-on learning, village restoration, and holistic well-being. My work blends education, creativity, and advocacy to help people develop real-life skills that strengthen their autonomy and agency.
This work isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. Growing up in Cleveland, I saw firsthand how access, opportunity, and community support could make or break a person’s sense of possibility. My journey has been shaped by navigating those same systems, and I’ve dedicated my life to creating spaces where Black women and children—especially those often overlooked—can access the knowledge, tools, and networks they need to thrive. Posh Panache 360° is more than a brand; it’s a bridge, a blueprint, and a call to action for a future where empowerment isn’t a privilege—it’s a right.
My Core Values & Themes
✅ Empowerment through Knowledge – Providing practical, hands-on education in life skills, entrepreneurship, and wellness.
✅ Community & Connection – Restoring the village mentality by fostering support networks.
✅ Holistic Well-being – Integrating mental, physical, and financial wellness into every initiative.
✅ Creativity & Practicality – Blending artistic expression with real-world applications.
✅ Accessibility & Inclusion – Designing programs that meet people where they are, especially those with lower literacy levels or limited access to resources.
Why a Multi-Passionate Generalist?
My broad skill set allows me to create unique, interdisciplinary programs that meet people’s needs in multiple ways—whether it’s through interactive workshops, community gardening, financial literacy activities, or creative self-expression. By weaving together different disciplines, I help people develop both the hard and soft skills necessary to thrive.
I built Posh Panache 360° because I am you. Because I know what it means to be a Melanin-Dominant woman navigating a world that wasn’t built with us in mind.
