Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Chanel Green. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Chanel, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
I grew up in a family that was dedicated to human outreach. I was taught to feed to hungry, give clothes to the homeless, read to those younger than me, and pray over everyone in-between.
These values made my heart big and my dreams even bigger.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
After having my two little girls, I valued being who I want them to be in their adulthood and that’s where “The Green Experience” evolved.
The Green Experience is the umbrella for Green Goals Beauty Academy, Green’s Way Naturals, C These Gainz Virtual Fitness, and Cee Green Apparel.
Every brand is curated towards what is needed within various communities.
Education, natural skincare, weight management, and clothing that represent confidence is just the start.
Have you ever had to pivot?
I pivot every single day. Being an entrepreneur is all about being able to pivot, give grace where needed, and remain confident in God when things don’t feel stable. Daily I write out what I accomplished, and my triggers, and ask God to order my steps for the following day.
I’ve learned to release control, not give attention to what does not serve me, and give praise through it all.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
I work overnight and drive for Veho, Roadie & Axle-Hire in order to fund my businesses. The brands don’t make enough monthly for these “Start-Up” grants, I am not a fan of loans, and asking family is out of the question.
God also never gives a vision without funding it so I’ll work till my fingers fall off just to make sure these brands flourish and my bloodline can eat for centuries after I am gone.
