Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Quizanae Cooper. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Quizanae, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?
I want my legacy to be my acts of service. Overtime I have noticed that I am a servant leader. Everyone that I encounter in a leadership capacity has experienced this. My hope is that the people I touch go out and cultivate their own culture. This will create an opportunity for growth and prosperity amongst different individuals. In, addition it will also promote positive development and encourage more collaboration.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Hey y’all!! My name is Quizanae’ Cooper (Quiz-a-nae’) and I am the CEO of Mink Mink Co Inc. Wow, when I first started this company 9 months ago it originally started as just a lash company. However, now I sell vegan lipgloss, lip scrubs, 13X4 lace wigs, lashes (mink and vegan, and lash accessories. Also, I will be adding clothes soon and branching off into the clothing industry. When starting my business I honestly never imagined taking it this far. It’s crazy how far an imagination can go when you don’t initially see the big picture. Now, however, my mind is limitless to the places that my business will go.
My goal originally was to see if I was capable of operating a successful business. I have literally succeeded with that goal because the company has been sustaining its self. Mink Mink Co Inc has returning customers and supporters that contributes to the company’s success. That’s what sets me apart from the others my lash baes! They have literally been so supportive of everything Mink Mink and if not for them there would be no me.
I pride myself for prioritizing customer service. As a Black female owned business it is important for me that I put my customers first. As I mentioned earlier being a servant leader echos throughout my entire existence.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
One of the biggest lessons that I learned early is that you can’t invest in everyone. Sometimes people see potential in you that you can’t yet see within yourself. However, that does not mean that you’re not capable of achieving your goals. It just means that sometimes things have to fall into place for change to happen. In business nothing is ever personal remembering that will take you far. Because as time goes on and success comes along you can’t have any distractions.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Staying consistent has truly helped me build my market. Consistency is key when building a brand and it’s important to be a constant. Running a business solo means that you’re the marketing, idea generator, packaging expert, etc. staying organized and engaging with your customers will also keep you motivated.
