My name is Bebé Ellison, and for years I lived in the fast-paced world of art, fashion, and entertainment as a celebrity makeup artist, wardrobe stylist, and gallerist. I traveled the world, worked with incredible talent, and lived what many might call a penthouse life. However, life has a way of calling us back to what is true, what is rooted. My journey from penthouse to farmhouse is not about leaving success behind — it’s about redefining it.

Today, I am honored to serve as the Fundraising Coordinator of a sustainable community project on sacred Native ground in Tennessee. This land is alive with history, memory, and responsibility. It reminds us that our choices today ripple far into the future, shaping what the next generations inherit. My role now is to take everything I’ve learned — from managing productions and galleries to leading creative teams — and apply it to building something that lasts: a regenerative model for living that serves my Indigenous community and teaches future generations resilience.

Our vision is to transform containers into homes and community structures — safe, sustainable spaces that embody harmony, abundance, and long-term sustainability. With your support, we can secure not only containers but also solar panels for renewable energy, eco-friendly materials for paving safe roads and pathways, water systems that conserve and recycle, and durable building supplies that enhance daily life. Every contribution helps us move closer to a community built on resilience and innovation.

Larger one-time gifts help us purchase containers and solar systems outright, while monthly contributions provide steady support for labor, road materials, and ongoing supplies. Every gift matters. You can support this vision directly through this campaign or at JourneytoVenus.com.

From the penthouse to the farmhouse, my journey is about honoring where I come from, and building what the future demands. Together, we can create not just homes — but a living legacy of sustainability, strength, and community for generations to come.
