From Government Assistance to Millionaire, Tiffany Harris of Kustom Kreationz Wholesale

Tiffany Harris is a mother of three: two girls, one boy, plus one fur baby. She’s a wife and a profound businesswoman. She started Kustom Kreationz Wholesale (KKW) because she was getting married and was having issues with people making the customized items she wanted. So, she decided to learn how to create them herself. Once she figured out how to make those items, Tiffany learned about sublimation and fell in love. She calls herself the Sublimation Diva.

Tiffany grew up in a poor neighborhood in Philadelphia and has overcome extreme odds to become a huge success in her field. She teaches other entrepreneurs how to start their own businesses, how to navigate credit for business, and how to be unstoppable in the pursuit of creating a career.
