CEO of i-g creative
Cheldin Barlatt Rumer
HER "WHY"
I am an immigrant (Sierra Leone, West Africa), I am a mother (Sydney Rachel age 10 and Chase Rogers age 3), I am a former Division I Athlete (Field Hockey and Track and Field – La Salle University, Philadelphia), I am an Adjunct Professor (Temple University, Philadelphia – Personal Branding). I am a relentless entrepreneur with a passion to connect remarkable women to inspiring stories.
In 2009, I created a digital agency (i-g creative) here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that aided small business owners – primarily women – with social media campaigns, publicity, graphic design, and web development. In early 2013, I was conducting mock publicity interviews with one of my “shyest” clients. She was extremely nervous about going on a local morning show and I was committed to helping her FIND HER VOICE. Often times the most talented people have the hardest time sharing their stories and therefore promoting their businesses.
I have always been an extrovert so speaking in public – with confidence – has always come easy to me. Watching my talented client struggle and frankly “whisper” about her passion and therefore business sparked an idea that soon would become my mission. SCREAM YOUR DREAM.
At that moment, I determined that my life’s goal would be to help talented professionals no longer whispering their wishes but to SCREAM THEIR DREAMS! On that day, THIS IS IT TV was born. I began producing my daily digital talk show that provides small business owners, industry leaders, and brand influencers with a fun online platform to “comfortably” promote their businesses, products, and services while sharing lifestyle news and celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit.
Building this self-funded platform and online community has been difficult and has required endless dedication, countless sacrifices, and unshakable grit. I believe that there is a strong need for a digital outlet that authentically shares the entrepreneurial journey of these extremely hard-working and brave individuals.
After interviewing over 700 professionals, I received requests from dozens of guests asking me to assist them in producing independent digital programs, instructional courses, and engaging promotions; that support their individual businesses and personal brands. I jumped at the opportunity to help these gutsy women in sharing their unique talents with their growing communities.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Today, in addition to producing my digital morning program, THIS IS IT WITH CHELDIN, we produce engaging online programs highlighting captivating hosts and their businesses. In early 2019, THIS IS IT TV evolved into the THIS IS IT NETWORK (an i-g creative production), a national interactive digital TV network created to aid remarkable women in connecting with inspiring stories.
We have recently traveled to Los Angeles, Boston, Washington DC and Atlanta in search of more entrepreneurial stories and in an effort to strengthen the THIS IS IT TV brand on a national level. Weekly my team and I produce over 100 hours of content and rely on partners and advertising to continue doing what we love. Though it is a tremendous amount of work, with extremely long hours with countless challenges and hurdles to jump – each day I am committed to my mission and every day through the work we do and the community we serve – I SCREAM MY DREAM!

Kymber Renee – Kissy Kosmetics
I met Cheldin in March of 2014 and it has been one of the best business/friend relationships to ever come into my life. Cheldin came into my life when I knew my business needed to go into a new direction but, I didn’t know what it would be or how to get there. Like big gust of wind and most certainly a breathe of fresh air she knew exactly what to do and how to teach about growing my brand. Today KissyKosmetics and Skincare has a growing website both business and personal and many sub branches forming. Not only is she moving the brand forward for and with me she had committed herself in seeing it through. I absolutely could not be in better company with her giving her support professionally. She is 100% the best at what she does.

Thank you so much Cheldin!!! You have been an incredible support system for me.

I can say, without reservation, that if Cheldin Barlatt Rumer is there, I am right with her!
Nancy Shadlow – Independent Sales and Product Development
A better question than, “What do I love about Cheldin?” is probably, “What’s not to love?” Cheldin is the best friend, the sister, the mentor, we all want. She really is a “you’re the cream in my coffee” kind of person. It’s like trying to describe a magnet–it just attracts! Cheldin has inspired me just by her consistent energetic positive outlook. I love watching someone who is always looking up! Even when she’s self-deprecating she’s positive: “Don’t beat yourself up for that 2nd doughnut. My weakness is french fries. Hey, 100% perfectionism is fantasy anyway, pick yourself up and do your best and next time.” I’ve learned and listened to people I never would have otherwise if it weren’t for her show.

Felicia Shanken – Co-Chair of the Philadelphia Women’s Networking Connection
Cheldin Barlatt Rumer is a fantastic energy to have for any event. The women of the Philadelphia Women’s Networking Connection Group, truly enjoyed her as our featured speaker on July 25, 2018. Not only did we have a good turnout that evening in spite of the weather, we had attendees show up that said, they would have come regardless and was glad that they did. We were so excited that our event sold out for Cheldin’s presentation. She brings with her all the dynamics, energy and professionalism plus more then we could have imagined. You can see and hear in her presentation that she is very passionate about what she does and she truly loves connecting and helping Entrepreneurs. It was such a pleasure sharing this new relationship with Cheldin, we look forward to sharing even more ventures with her and we look forward to having her back in front of our group again.
