Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Dejeuné Harris. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Dejeuné, thanks for joining us today. Owning a business isn’t always glamorous and so most business owners we’ve connected with have shared that on tough days they sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have just had a regular job instead of all the responsibility of running a business. Have you ever felt that way?
I am a pleased business owner. I have definitely experienced highs and lows however the positives outweigh the negatives. My love for Your Style Is Forever continues to grow I am so fond. The more impact I have the greater my happiness is. Fun fact I also work a 9-5 in addition to my business so my days are never dull. My 9-5 impact the youth I was raised in, so the beneficial impact is intrinsic.
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
Your Style Is Forever started in 2016 out of my love for fashion blossomed when I was 4. Your Style Is Forever also originated as a healing caveat for myself, I left an abusive relationship and during my healing process I reconnected with myself and that consisted of me identifying what my personal style was. Fashion was a comfort for me when I was being abused because it empowered me. That feeling inspired me to spread that experience to other women who feel lost or are at a transitional phase in their life. The foundation was formed and it grew from there. At Your Style Is Forever we offer virtual and in-person styling services as well as digital and physical products. We also host educational workshops and shopping events. The Little Black Bag is a physical product that consists of products to repair wardrobe malfunctions such as needle and thread, and breast tape. The services consist of closet organization, personal shopping, and style development. We help women identify what clothes flatter their bodies and what pieces they need to be added to their wardrobes to make it more functional. Your Style Is Forever believes that you should have a stylish, fluid, functional wardrobe that is reflective of your lifestyle.
Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
Showing up authentically consistently. Expressing my views and expertise organically has attracted supporters, followers and the most amazing aligned clients.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
I used the income from my government job and credit cards. Super risky as I’m the sole parent and provider for my son but I took a chance and bet on myself.
