Chetney D Stone

Community Advocate

Chetney Stone is the visionary founder of Fail Forward Enterprise Holdings LLC, a consulting firm and resource portal dedicated to transforming setbacks into strategic stepping stones. Known as a "Resilience Architect," Chetney’s professional mission is rooted in the belief that failure is not a destination but essential data for future success. Her work spans business coaching, personal development, and high-impact community advocacy, all driven by a faith-centered commitment to serving the voiceless.

Chetney’s journey is one of profound personal and professional resilience. After surviving a life-threatening health crisis where she was given only 24 hours to live, she emerged with a renewed mandate to engineer a "village that doesn't break." This experience forms the bedrock of her "Fail Forward" philosophy, which she utilizes to help entrepreneurs, "mompreneurs," and individuals navigate the complexities of brand building and personal growth.

In addition to her consulting work, Chetney is the author of the "Thy Humble Hustler" blog, a platform where she shares expert insights on spiritual warfare, professional boundaries, and the "Humble Hustler" mindset. Her commitment to justice has led to significant community impact, including direct advocacy that has recovered thousands for clients and the filing of substantial legal demands for those seeking justice. She has also been a prominent voice in high-profile missing persons cases, utilizing her platform to amplify urgent searches and support families in crisis.

A nominee for Entrepreneur Magazine’s 'Entrepreneur of Impact', Chetney continues to scale the Fail Forward Resource Portal, bridging the gap between ambition and access for the Newark and Rochester communities. Whether through digital literacy training or strategic business pivots, her goal remains constant: one life, one connection, and one win at a time.
