Meet Khadidra
your events expert
What was my side hustle as a creative twenty-something is now an international celebrity events business.
The question I get asked the most? 'How did you do it?' Well, with a lot of lessons learned the hard way. But that's not what I want for you. The PEP Masterclass is an opportunity for me to give back to the industry and teach you what's made PEP Productions a business beyond my wildest dreams.
I'm guiding you through the must-dos and must-nots. By the end of our 3 days together, you'll know exactly what goes into a PEP production and the essential business admin that allows us to keep elevating and expanding.

"I cannot wait to use what I learned to take my planning and design to the next level"
I gained a WEALTH of knowledge. I had several 'ah-ha' moments, and I cannot wait to use what I learned to take my planning and design to the next level. All the other ladies were awesome as well. I feel like I gained a cohort of sistah-planners!

What you need to know to build a successful events business
You've built your event planning business (or you're dreaming of it), but things aren't going the way you expected. Cash flow issues, unreliable vendors, and a host of other problems stand in your way. Things feel hard. And the truth is, event planning of this scale is difficult.
If you want to create the extraordinary events you see on Instagram, you're in the right place. But don't expect it to be easy. This isn't a cookie-cutter experience. Things will go wrong. You'll find it mentally & physically challenging at times. And you might even question if you're capable.
Our 3 days together reflect the reality of this industry. You'll get the answers you've been looking for, but the journey will be tough. The good news? You'll gain a decade of knowledge in just 72 hours.
Save yourself time, money, and energy with this life-changing, tell-all experience.
Network with industry experts
You can't build a successful events business without the support and guidance of industry professionals. That's why we make sure collaboration and connection are key elements of the workshop.
At the end of day 3, you'll fully execute a PEP-scale production. As a group, you'll plan, strategize, and create a gala attended by over 200 events businesses. This is an opportunity to utilize everything you've learned and network with other industry experts.
