I am also proud of watching and being apart of the journey to transform these women and young girls lives.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I had to unlearn a lot being an African American attending public schools. I had to unlearn the system it taught us of enslavement. I have learn and is still learning how to create generational wealth for my family. Learning about business, building business credit, branding, marketing and promoting has been a lot. I also learned that it takes a team and had to unlearn that I can’t do everything by myself.
How’d you meet your business partner?
I met my co founder through prayer, when I say the tongue is very powerful it is. In 2020 while going through covid 19 and being on lockdown I was working my own home care agency but as my client kept getting covid shots business was slowing down I ask God for an extra source of income and a mentor that can help build my business with me. My prayers were answer with 5 minutes. She( Tyara Lee) called on Facebook and I heard a voice that said answer.Since meeting my business partner/ mentor 4 years ago I have elevated in a lot more skill sets of properly structuring my brand as well as teaching her.
