A Little More About Me…
Hi, I’m Danielle Ford! Born and raised in Las Vegas, my journey has been anything but conventional.
At 17, I left high school and graduated from beauty school, earning my skincare license the same month my peers received their diplomas.
By 22, I had opened a brick-and-mortar skincare studio—my first business—and dove into the early world of online marketing to build my brand without a budget.
But life had bigger plans.
I discovered a deep love for digital marketing, closed my studio, and jumped into learning everything I could about SEO, video production, and social media.
While modeling on the side, I gained valuable insights both in front of and behind the camera—skills that would fuel my passion for helping others share their stories.
In 2012, I launched a global teen mom empowerment club that grew to over 20,000 members. This project earned me a TEDx talk, media features, and community recognition.
By 2015, I had established myself as a marketing strategist, delivering workshops, consultations, and keynotes for major corporations.
In 2018, I decided to bring my voice to public education.
Running for School Board Trustee, I used my marketing expertise to overcome well-funded political opponents and win.
My term wasn’t easy. I uncovered systemic corruption and took a stand by filing ethics complaints, stepping down from the dais to speak as a citizen, and leveraging social media to inform the community.
In 2022, I lost my re-election, a humbling moment that deepened my resolve to fight for meaningful change.
Not one to stay silent, I launched the podcast “Unraveling Education” in 2023 to expose the issues I’d witnessed and empower others to demand better for our schools and the people in them.
A year later, I ran for the Nevada State Board of Education and won, proving once again that timeless marketing strategies and resilience can create powerful results.
From highschool dropout to elected education leader, my story is proof that setbacks are just stepping stones when you’re driven by purpose.
A Few Fun Facts…
- I love animals and am currently a fur mom to a dog and three cats. Over the years, I’ve had everything from chickens and turtles to guinea pigs, axolotls, and even scorpions!
- I can solve a Rubik’s cube in just a few minutes, which I’m pretty proud of—until my son calls me a boomer for not matching his under-20-second record.
- I enjoy playing poker and diving into poker strategy. I’m technically a professionally ranked player after cashing at the WSOP. ::flips hair::
- My first-ever public speech was my TEDxWomen talk. It terrified me, but it taught me the power of sharing your story and stepping outside your comfort zone.
