Felicia Ramos has spent much of her life learning how to keep going. Now, she is entering a season of asking what all that resilience can become. As a single mother, she has spent years working, providing, and carrying the responsibilities in front of her. The pandemic brought the weight of those responsibilities into sharper focus, when being an essential worker meant being separated from her son simply because she had to work.
It was during that time that she discovered Ira Curry and began following his story. What once felt like a distant possibility eventually became a simple question: Why not me? Today, that question has taken on new meaning. What began as a desire for greater freedom is becoming a deeper pursuit of purpose, confidence, and the ability to one day guide others in ways she once wished someone had guided her. Her journey into the Business Celebrity Movement is not about leaving her past behind. It is about recognizing what that past has given her—and learning how to carry it forward.
Felicia calls herself resilient. But beneath that resilience is a growing understanding that what she has lived through can become more than a part of her story. It can become perspective, wisdom, and something she carries forward for others. This is the chapter she is entering now—not leaving her past behind, but learning how to turn it toward the future. And perhaps the most important question is no longer simply, What kind of life can I create for myself? It is: What can my life make possible for someone else?
Can you share a little about your background and what was happening in your life that led you to explore the Business Celebrity Movement?
Felicia Ramos: I’ve been a single mom for a long time, and the pandemic was especially hard on us. Because I was an essential worker, I still had to work while daycares and schools were closed. We were separated, and I didn’t have family nearby to help. I’ve always been a hard worker, so the work itself wasn’t the issue. It was being separated from my son that took such a huge mental and emotional toll on me. That was actually when I first found Ira. I followed him and his story for a while, and eventually I started thinking, Why not me? Why can’t I do this?
I realized that building something like this could potentially give me the freedom to work from anywhere. I wouldn’t have to choose between providing for my child and being there for him. That possibility felt like a dream. But then came all the questions: How do I start? Where do I go? What else will I have to sacrifice for this dream? There were so many things running through my mind. I knew I wanted a different kind of life. I just didn’t know yet what it would take to build it.
What first caught your attention when you came across the Business Celebrity Movement or the idea of becoming a celebrity coach?
Felicia Ramos: The first thing that came to mind was work-life balance. I could immediately see how something like this could benefit me in that area of my life. The idea of being able to build something meaningful while also having more freedom and flexibility really caught my attention.
Was there a specific moment, realization, or experience that made you decide to take it more seriously?
Felicia Ramos: I think a big part of it has been the fact that Ira has reached out to me personally before and has continued to reach out, even when life has been, well... lifeing. I’ve wanted to take the leap, but I just haven’t always been in a position to do it. The support in the emails and the constant encouragement have made a difference, though. Little by little, it has been building my confidence and reminding me that maybe I’m more capable of this than I was allowing myself to believe.

When you’re not working on your goals or in general, what do you enjoy doing most?
Felicia Ramos: Art in all forms. I also really enjoy being present in the moment and paying attention to what’s happening around me, especially when I’m in nature. There’s something about slowing down and actually noticing things that helps me feel grounded.
How would people close to you describe your personality in three words?
Felicia Ramos: My personality is a bit all over the place. It really depends on my surroundings. I can be quiet and closed off at times, and then there are other times when you absolutely cannot get me to be quiet. But I’ve always been strong-willed and determined. Once I make up my mind about something, there’s really no stopping me until it’s done. I don’t always know how long it’s going to take or what it’s going to require, but I’ll get there. I always do.
What’s something about you that would surprise people reading this?
Felicia Ramos: I was born and raised a city girl, but I actually really enjoy spending time in farm country. I need the balance, lol.
What keeps you going when things get difficult or uncertain?
Felicia Ramos: My son, and my nieces and nephews. I come from very humble beginnings, and I’ve been through a lot myself. I’ve also watched people in my family go through things that were just as difficult. Those experiences have made me think a lot about what I want the next generation to inherit from us.
I want to show them that what we’ve been through doesn’t have to define us. There is another way of life, and it is possible for us if we’re willing to put in the work. I don’t want them to struggle or experience the same things generations before them experienced. But if that is going to change, someone has to be willing to do the work to create something different. That someone just happens to be me.
If a documentary was being made about your life right now, what would the title be?
Felicia Ramos: “The Resilient.”
Since becoming involved within the movement, how has your thinking about yourself, your goals, or your future changed?
Felicia Ramos: I’ve become more confident in myself at a time when I was beginning to have doubts. I think we all go through periods like that, where we start questioning ourselves or wondering if we’re really capable of what we want. But within the Movement, there’s so much encouragement and so many people rooting for you. It becomes difficult not to start believing in yourself and your abilities again. For me, that confidence has been one of the biggest changes.
How would you describe your experience so far inside the movement in your own words?
Felicia Ramos: So far, it has been really motivational and inspiring. There are so many ideas flowing, and there’s a lot of great energy around what everyone is building and becoming.
When you think about the direction you’re moving in, what does becoming a “Celebrity Coach” or “Business Celebrity” represent for you personally?
Felicia Ramos: For me, it represents becoming a source of wisdom and guidance for future generations. We all know what it feels like to want to do something but have no idea where to start. Growing up, I wish I had more people around me who could help guide me, point me in the right direction, and let me know that what I wanted was actually possible. To know that there are people willing to help others move toward the life they want, while also having that support behind them, means a lot to me. To eventually be able to provide that for someone else is something I feel truly honored and blessed to be able to do.
What do you now know that you wish you had known before stepping into the movement?
Felicia Ramos: I wish I had understood sooner just how much confidence in yourself can affect your life and the direction it takes. When you believe in yourself, you can move forward even when you don’t have everything figured out. You may not know exactly what you’re doing yet, but confidence can carry you much farther than you realize.
Since joining the movement, what message, content, or experience related to Ira Curry or the Business Celebrity Movement has stayed with you the most—and why?
Felicia Ramos: The message that has stayed with me the most is that we all experience life, but we don’t all have the same life experiences. What we go through gives us something unique that we can use to help someone else. Our experiences can become knowledge, perspective, and guidance for another person who may be walking through something we’ve already learned how to navigate. That idea has really stayed with me because it makes you look at your own experiences differently. Even the things you’ve been through can have a purpose beyond you.

Closing Reflections:
Felicia Ramos is not at the end of a transformation. She is at the beginning of a more intentional one. For years, her strength was focused on working, providing, raising her son, and navigating whatever life placed in front of her. Now, she is beginning to look beyond simply getting through life and ask a different question: What can I build from everything I’ve learned?
That question reflects something larger happening within the Business Celebrity Movement—the growing recognition that our experiences can become more than memories. They can become perspective, wisdom, and eventually something we use to help others. For Felicia, that possibility is deeply connected to the next generation. She wants to create more choices for those coming after her than previous generations may have had.
She entered this chapter asking, Why not me? Now, she is beginning to understand what becomes possible when she allows herself to believe the answer. She is still becoming. The path is still unfolding. And perhaps that is where influence begins—not with having all the answers, but with recognizing that your own life may already be teaching you something worth passing on.
