Run The Mile You're In
I built a multimillion-dollar childcare business from my living room, sold it to Bright Horizons, and then got sued by them over a non-compete clause that nearly destroyed my life.
This is the story of what that legal battle cost me—my marriage, my savings, my sense of who I was—and how I found my way back when everything I'd built fell apart.
It's not about resilience or reinvention. It's about what happens when you refuse to disappear, even when the cost of staying visible threatens to break you.
About the Book
Kettia Ming built a multimillion-dollar childcare business from her living room and sold it to Bright Horizons. Then they sued her over a non-compete clause that put her new flagship center one hundred feet inside the boundary—measured as the crow flies.
What followed was a years-long legal battle that cost her more than money. It cost her marriage, her sense of safety, and her belief that doing everything right would protect her.
This is the story of what that fight took and what she learned on the other side. It's about the contracts no one explains, the isolation of fighting a Fortune 500 company alone, and the unglamorous work of rebuilding when everything falls apart.
Run The Mile You're In is a memoir for anyone who's been told their ambition came with consequences—and chose to keep running anyway.
Why You Should Read It
This book is for anyone who's been told they should have known better, should have read the fine print, should have protected themselves—and is tired of carrying that shame.
It's for the entrepreneur who thought doing everything right would be enough. The woman who's rebuilding after a divorce, a business failure, or a loss that changed everything. Anyone who's ever wondered if they have what it takes to start over when the path forward isn't clear.
You'll learn what contracts actually mean before you sign them, how power works when you're negotiating with people who have more of it than you do, and what it really takes to rebuild when everything falls apart.
This isn't about bouncing back or finding silver linings. It's about the slow, unglamorous work of putting yourself back together and discovering that survival is its own kind of success.
If you've ever felt like your ambition cost you too much, this book will remind you that refusing to disappear is worth something too.
Kettia Ming built a multimillion-dollar childcare company in New York City, sold it, and then rebuilt her life after a lawsuit that tested everything she thought she knew about strength and identity. Born in Port au Prince and raised in New York City, she writes about resilience, reinvention, and the deep inner work of choosing yourself.
