We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Neshia Brown Caston a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Neshia , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?
I started my life as a Runway Fashion Model in the year of 2015. I have always dreamed of being everything God wanted me to be, and that was to be different and to stand out from the crowd and to believe in myself. I love art & fashion, it is everything and more to me ! I always dreamed that one day I could be someone’s Idol or a super star the world wants to see, because I was a big fan of wanting to be in the modeling & fashion industry as well as learning new things on how I could succeed. In fact I always caught myself watching Tyra Banks Model episodes as well as watching Naomi Campbell hit the runway. They are my favorite idols as models. So I thought to myself if they could do it or be anything they wanted to be than so could I by just applying myself to do so Wether people believed in my dream or not, because I believed in me. I then begin modeling for the first time of my life threw a guy who recognized my talent as well as believed in me by the name Craig Harris of Tunica Ms. Which was my very first fashion show called,” I AM Not My Hair! I have never experienced being on a actually runway of my life until that very moment when that one show changed my life forever! I started to meet new people and was even given advice on how to audition to be with a agency. My first time sharing my talent with the world. I joined The Work Of Art Model Modeling Agency . I learned so much over the years, which also made me become who I am today . I traveled to so many places and done many fashion shows and i never gave up on myself I kept going and I am still living my dream today not only as a Published Global Model but also a manager to my oldest son Omg Dripp which is a music artist . I am also The CEO of The Memphis Slayer Rich Girl Gloss , Fashion, & The Memphis Slayer Men Blue Ice Lip Chap which is now in The store of Watson of Tunica Ms. It is also in the making of hitting three more stores real soon. I came up with the idea of the Rich Girl Gloss because I always dreamed of being a rich Girl but a Rich Girl with potential who can go far In life and a rich girl who can be anything she wants to be without a doubt. A girl who can shine bright for the world to see so I decided to create the idea as my very own The Memphis Slayer Rich Girl Gloss. As I earned my name as a model The Memphis Slayer Model I also decided to create a lip chap also for men’s because I feel they too can see that there are things created especially for them as well as hardworking kings . They will someday understand that fashion is everything and that it’s amazing to be apart of something major to really believe in. Our lips are made to look amazing to match our beauty because we are a great masterpiece of art. I feel that I will always succeed at what I am doing as long as I continue to apply the pressure, meaning keep going no matter what! Dreams do come true only if u truly believe but having the faith is the key to any door of success and to know that God will never give up on you!

Any advice for managing a team?
The advice I have for managing a team and maintaining high morale is never start a business or something you love to do or you worked hard to keep it going then turn around and quit it , because you never know what blessing is waiting near for you at the end of the tunnel. Stay consistent , dedicated, stay humbled & continue to stay focused and motivated .
How do you keep in touch with clients and foster brand loyalty?
I keep in touch with clients, Foster brand loyalty or even fans or supporters by always reminding myself to keep promoting my brand every chance it get because my brand will continue to get noticed as long as i am applying myself to keep at it and not giving up .Not only that I am the brand and if they see what they like in your brand far as they seeing the consistency, the dedication they gone stay in contact with you instead . That’s how I stay connected with my foster brand loyalty and clients or so. Promoting is always a good way to show off your work skills.
