We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Shafawn Morrison . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Shafawn below.
Alright, Shafawn thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
Hello working at the hospital became very depressing during covid. I loved fashion and I worked in the medical field so I figured I can make scrubs that we’re fashionable. I wanted to put a new twist to uniforms in the medical industry.
Shafawn, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Well I’m Shafawn Morrison. I’m from Kansas city KS. I’m a nursing student l. I’ve been featured in multiple magazines, newspapers, podcasts and news stations. I’m a small business superstar award winner thru chamber of commerce and won one of the most successful small black businesses in 2021. I wrote my first book in 2021 the Healthcare Business Bible which was a blueprint on how to start a business in Healthcare. I have a non-profit called the black med foundation helping minority women going to school in Healthcare help fund their tuition. I have no desire to have my own store. I sell scrubs in a local store in the Oak park mall called Epffannies and my biggest platform is selling on my Amazon store. My biggest accomplishment is having celebrities wear my uniform Scrub brand.
Can you open up about how you funded your business?
I work as a cna at a local hospital making 15.00 I actually funded my business out of pocket.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
The biggest lesson is learning how to not trust anyone when it comes to my vision and that not everyone will support your dreams so find your target audience.
