What is a recent accomplishment you are proud of?

I recently launched a new brand. I have worked in the field of beauty for the past 6 years and saw a need for more Black women founders of beauty brands. My new business is a line of CBD infused beauty and wellness products. We launched in April with 2 products and I am proud to say we now have 6 products in the collection.

What is something you want to learn this year?

I would love to learn how to effectively use Facebook Ads this year. For some reason, I cannot seem to "figure it out" on my own although I am a fast learner. This would be solid gold for helping me scale my businesses.

What is your favorite quote and why?

I love the quote by Maya Angelou "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." These words embody how I want to live my life. I want to thrive emotionally, spiritually, financially...in all ways. Thriving to me means travel, working hard and resting, having quality experiences with friends and family and being present. I am always one to love a bit of humor and as a designer, I love style in everything from home decor to clothes.

What is the most exciting part of your job?

I love creating! Seeing an idea go from sketches on a paper or plan in google docs to an actual tangible item is priceless. I love making people happy with the things I create. Seeing the joy my products bring to others is truly amazing.

What would you love to accomplish or do more of?

I would love to travel more and spend more time in my beloved Mexico. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world in my opinion.
