About Me

Hadiatu Dumbuya

I’m Hadiatu Dumbuya, an African American entrepreneur, mentor, and professional speaker with proud Sierra Leonean roots. Many know me as a Global Change Agent because of my passion for helping people create freedom, income, and unforgettable life experiences.

Early Life and Education

I was born in Maryland to parents from Sierra Leone, West Africa, and raised in Fairfield, Ohio. In 1999, I graduated from Fairfield High School, where I was inducted into the Fairfield High School Hall of Fame for my achievements in soccer. I went on to play collegiate soccer at Butler University, competing at a high level before later playing semi-professionally.

My African heritage, athletic background, and family values shaped my commitment to leadership, resilience, and service.

Career

Sports and Early Professional Experience

While attending Butler University, I played collegiate soccer before competing at the semi-professional level. I also worked for the Indianapolis Colts, gaining experience in professional sports management. Later, I worked with the National Football League (NFL), expanding my skills in operations and event support.

I went on to serve as executive assistant to Robert Porcher III, an NFL legend and former Detroit Lions defensive end, helping him manage multiple business ventures and building my foundation in public relations and athlete brand development.

Network Marketing and Entrepreneurship

In 2012, I transitioned into network marketing and quickly rose through the ranks, achieving the very top level of my company — a rank reached by fewer than one percent worldwide. This positioned me as a global leader and opened the door to international speaking engagements, where I trained entrepreneurs on leadership, mindset, financial independence, and lifestyle freedom.

Through my work as a top international DreamTrips trainer, I’ve not only traveled to over 30 countries but also built a serious stream of residual income while teaching people across Africa, Asia, and the United States to do the same. DreamTrips became more than travel for me — it became a platform to show others how to combine wellness, adventure, and income into a life of freedom. Today, I’m also helping expand DreamTrips into corporate travel and employee wellness programs, showing companies how travel can strengthen morale, retention, and culture.

Secret Shopper CEO

In 2023, I founded Secret Shopper CEO, a course and membership program that trains individuals to succeed in the mystery shopping industry.

The platform provides:

• Training on how to apply to companies
• Strategies to maximize efficiency on shopping routes
• Systems for creating multiple income streams
• Access to a paid support community

Through this work, I’ve become a leading authority in secret shopping, guiding both individuals and businesses to improve financial outcomes and customer service.

Professional Speaking

As a professional international speaker, I’ve worked with:

• Entrepreneurs — building financial independence and leadership skills
• Collegiate athletes — preparing for life beyond sports
• High school and elementary students — teaching leadership, teamwork, and decision-making

My speaking topics include:

• Leadership and accountability
• Entrepreneurship and side hustles
• Travel and DreamTrips lifestyle strategies
• Branding and personal growth
• Motivation and women’s empowerment

Personal Life

Family plays a central role in my life. I am the sister of two sisters and one brother, and in 2012 I donated a kidney to my brother — an act of courage and devotion that reflects my commitment to family and service.

I am proud of my Sierra Leonean-American heritage and currently live in Cincinnati, Ohio. Passionate about travel, wellness, and mentorship, I’ve visited more than 30 countries. I am also an advocate for organ donation and women’s empowerment.
