THE 1117 TIMES
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU ACTUALLY WENT AFTER THE THINGS THAT YOU DREAM ABOUT?

The 1117 Times Social was created from a love of storytelling, creativity, and the belief that every brand has a story worth sharing. Inspired by the world of magazines, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, The 1117 Times Social was built around the idea that social media is more than a platform — it is a digital reflection of culture, creativity, and human experiences.
Growing up inspired by the storytelling found within fashion editorials, lifestyle magazines, and visual campaigns, I became fascinated by how a single image, a carefully written caption, or a thoughtfully curated brand presence could make someone feel something. That same feeling is what drives my approach to social media today. I believe social media is a viewpoint into people’s stories, businesses, passions, and everyday lives. Behind every brand is a person, a purpose, and a journey waiting to be seen.
Through The 1117 Times Social, my mission has always been to help brands create meaningful digital experiences — not just content. We focus on strategy, storytelling, and intentional branding to help businesses build communities, connect with their audiences, and show up online with confidence.

The Evolution Into Dream Time Academy
After years of creating content, developing brand strategies, and helping businesses bring their visions to life, Dream Time Academy was created as the next chapter of The 1117 Times Social. I wanted to create a space where entrepreneurs, creators, and aspiring Social Media Managers could learn the strategy behind building powerful brands online.
Dream Time Academy is rooted in the belief that social media is both an art and a skill. It combines creativity with strategy, teaching students how to understand branding, content creation, storytelling, and digital marketing in a way that feels authentic to who they are.
Whether you are a business owner wanting to confidently manage your own brand presence or an aspiring Social Media Manager looking to build a career, Dream Time Academy was designed to give you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to turn creativity into opportunity.
I’m Destiny, the founder of The 1117 Times Social and creator of Dream Time Academy. My journey has always been centered around creativity, storytelling, and building things from a vision. My love for fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and editorial storytelling shaped the way I approach branding and social media — always looking beyond what is trending and focusing on what creates connection.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with businesses and creators across different industries, helping them discover their voice, tell their stories, and create digital spaces that feel authentic to their audience.
I believe everyone has a story worth sharing, and my passion is helping others learn how to bring those stories to life.

With Endless Love,
Destiny & Team
truth is i did this scared. in fact i'm still scared. this has to work. i could give you a story about how i've always loved fashion, but it has always been one of those things where it just clicked. it just made sense. but whether i became a fashion designer, singer, author, chef, app developer, or race car driver, i wouldn't want to do any of those things without god. that's my dad. And in everything i do, I give thanks and give credit where its due.
i believe everyone has a gift and this spectacular purpose, and the journey, mountains and valleys can really be a beautiful thing, tough, hardwork, but its part of the journey. So my name is destiny, meaning fate, purposed to happen. the name of my company is the elvn17, purposefully,
the month and day of my birthday.
the elvn17 brand is more than just about looking good, but looking like the star you are meant to be!
