What made you want to become an Entrepreneur?

Entrepreneurship provides an outlet for my creative gifts. I didn’t seek to become an entrepreneur I evolved into the business. I knew it was time to shift into my next greater and entrepreneurship doesn’t come with boundaries.

What has been your greatest challenge as an entrepreneur and how did you overcome it?

My greatest challenge as an entrepreneur has been overcoming the mindset of a full-time employee. I spent extensive amounts of hours “playing entrepreneur” because the concept that I had to actually “hunt” in order to eat was foreign to me. I gave away exclusive high quality services because I loved what I was doing and didn’t initially conceptualize that I should be paid for what I loved to do.

What final words do you have for the woman entrepreneur?

Self-care is the ultimate healthcare. It is so important to learn to love yourself FIRST so that you can give from your overflow. Embrace the art of loving YOU because you are unapologetically beautiful and there is no one else like you.
