Where is your target market location?

Washington DC area

Who is your target audience?

Women of all ages

What’s the “Why” behind your business?

My why is to help women embrace their own personal style. Who you are, is who God created you to be.

What is one major obstacle you had to overcome to become the woman you are today?

I had to overcome the opinions of people.

How will people benefit from an experience with you?

I think they will benefit a whole new perspective of how they see themselves. When they walk away, they will have a level of confident from the inside out.

How do you manage being a mom and/or wife and a thriving entrepreneur?

A to-do list, this is my BFF.

Any advice for those who are struggling with being a mom and/or wife and a thriving entrepreneur?

I would say what a friend of mines told me during her interview, just start. Don’t wait for things to be perfect. You can correct and perfect along the way.

Share any mommy/wife advice that you feel is necessary and priceless.

My advice would be to make sure you take time for yourself. I know we where many hats, but you have to take some time out to refresh, so you will be able to keep going.

Any advice for those who feel like they are stuck?

I would say, find out why you are stuck… What is distracting you? Get before God and get the wisdom and knowledge you need to you can get out being stuck. Maybe you need to make a list of those things and start eliminating from there.

Have you ever had to deal with negative people since becoming an entrepreneur? If so, how did you handle them?

Yes, I have. However, I don’t give any energy to negativity. You have to just brush it off and keep moving.

Any advice for those who want to become an entrepreneur?

Yes, I would say, do your research, found out who is already doing it and watch them.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I see myself being a style coach, and going all around the world to speak on the state of fashion/style.

If you could give your 18-year-old self advice, what would it be?

Enjoy being where and who you are. Just know your future is bright, you may have some setbacks along the way, but know as long as you lean on God, you WIN!!

Who inspires you and why?

Dr.Stacie Pierce. I have been mentored by her from a far for many years, for me, she was the first person to incorporate fashion and business together and be successful at it.
