Meet Kadda Sheekoff | Humanitarian & Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kadda Sheekoff and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kadda, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
My name is Kadda Sheekoff, the CEO and founder of Kadda Sheekoff INFO. I grew up in a small town in Haiti called Haut-Coq Chante, At the age of eleven, my family immigrated from Jacmel, Haiti to the United States.
I’ve always been drawn to Law and detective, spending countless hours on my laptop, searching information about Haitian and American artists.
My father used to tell me “what are you getting from this, you going to school tomorrow. Come on go to bed get some rest” but I always tells him I need to know more about Wyclef Jean, Jimmy Jean Louis and a lot of artists. But to get those information to write an article I have to look very deep online. Nothing is smooth in this world, Fail fast, fail often to rise to a higher level of success. and as an Haitian I have zero fear of trying new things. What I’ve learned along the way in my 30+ years: You’ve gotta keep getting outside your comfort zone and try as much as you can to find out what you’re good at.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I always knew I wanted to do something creative for a living, even though I didn’t know what that would really look like, realistically. At the end of the day, the main factor for succeeding in the current landscape is luck.
I know some people believe in God and most of the time they will tell you “If it’s not in God plans, you’ll not be able to do it” well that’s a lie. Luck is very very powerful, there are so many skilled and talented people working just as hard as each other, who are just as interesting and deserving, and it’s pretty random who ends up in the most visible situations. My journey has been a rollercoaster of challenges that have shaped me into the person I am today. I try to meet people and stick with people who have the same goals, interests as me. Sometimes I go to TMZ website and see if they have a story that I like and I just translated in my language and publish it on my TikTok account, I use an app to write articles and I also used an app to makes video so I can publish online, I even pay some ads online just to make sure everybody see me. The road has not been very smooth. That’s largely due to financial disparities, being very low income. I see creativity as love and passion at its roots and I just want to share that passion with the world.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
There’s a lot of places to visit, but I know how to cook so I’ll cook home just to make sure I eat good.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I absolutely could not have made it this far without the support of my closest friends and family. Tons of people to shout out, It takes a village. I was met with nothing but love, excitement, and positivity.
