“She’ll either be an amazing success or a total nightmare” says one of Marsha’s school teachers at age 12!

The 7-yr old Entrepreneur
Where the entrepreneur in Marsha started…
Marsha started her entrepreneurial life in a retail confectionery business on the school playground with her brother Trevor at the tender age of 7.
They’d buy bags of sweets in the morning on the walk to school, and bag them up on the way… Of course their monopoly of the market was solidified – and world domination seemed in sight!
Marsha’s natural independent and inquisitive approach started when she began walking at just 7 months old!!! Even before turning 10, she had a number of part-time ‘jobs’ to support her desire to have more pocket money from washing cars to getting paid to do her elder sister’s chores at home.
Her first business sparked her creativity – Marsha realised that if she could offer what people wanted, they’d give her money!
So she kept finding more things people wanted including mixed tapes, and her own graphic design business at age 13 mixed with music production tapes which she sold to local businesses in Southall, West London.
Marsha’s love of music and singing led her to the brink of accepting a recording contract for a London record label in the early 90′s – but she declined the offer from the London record label.
Singing has remained one of Marsha’s loves till this date.
Obscurity & Hardship
Born and raised in Harlesden, London; and advanced beyond her age, Marsha was walking at just six months! Supported by her loving mother and two older siblings.
However the picture of her childhood wasn’t to be one of beauty. As her troubles increased beyond bullying and bad hair days.
Unfortunately, Marsha was to endure multiple disturbing experiences of sexual abuse from a very tender age. As a result, and despite having the ability to pass here GSCE’s at 12, Marsha began to mis-behave uncontrollably.
This led to spending most of her early teens in and out of number of children’s homes in West London and Essex.

“I was so naughty in school – my teachers avoided me and I had a temper because it was cool – and because I had so many issues growing up” says Marsha

After years of aimless endeavours – Marsha met one of her early mentors, Professor Stanley Lopes – who inspired her to achieve and ‘come up higher’.
This sparked a rapid change and after leaving school at 15 (a year early) to start college. Upon graduation she went on to study Management in Kent.
At just 17, Marsha again advanced others at her age, when she started her first senior management role as a Commercial Manager in an ‘Energy Brokerage’ in Neasden!
The Business World Beckoned Early for Marsha
In the 90′s, Marsha gained experience working and resigning from no less than fifteen different jobs from fast food to telemarketing – jokingly she says she ‘I could never keep a job’.
However – this expereince was intergral to starting her first company aged just 18, in the publishing industry and incorporating a consultancy business at age 19.
By her early 20′s Marsha was strong in the property investment scene and in research following her studies in politics, sociology, business and investment strategies.

“I LOVE BUSINESS! I live, eat sleep and breathe it! It’s sometimes hard to switch off. But I have very good habits – I’m up at 4am and in bed by 10pm – that’s lots of time to get things done.” |
Now still in her twenties, Marsha is the Chief Executive of the successful publishing, broadcasting & training co. Fortune Alliance Corporation.
Which incorporates and partners with a number of large scale enterprises and projects with an international reach.
