In less than 2yrs Ramal purchased a commercial property near downtown South Bend, with nearly 10,000 square feet of learning space so that BBC could serve more families and which now provides care for over 100 children. In 2020, Ramal decided to utilize her savvy and passionate business tactics for her newly birthed company Millenia Strategies, where she specializes in business growth strategies and financial road mapping. In a few short months after the initial launch, Millenia Strategies assisted a $100M dollar company, Timeless Enterprises in financial strategy and capital investments.
