WE LOVE EM THICK

SIT ON MY FACE

When you go from reading the magazine to being in the magazine ✨ I love empowering other young black girls to love and embrace their #blackgirlmagic It is an incredible feeling.

Fun fact: rushed to the store so quickly I forgot to put on underpants. 

I know I am not as active as  I use to be, but it’s because I’ve been working so hard on bringing Healthy Roots Dolls to market. Thank you to all of you who initially supported us and our vision of black dolls for young girls. 

I don’t always get interviewed by Essence, but when I do I wear $2 earrings from the hair shop because I’m “boughetto”.

Thanks to Essence for allowing me to share my experience as an entrepreneur, how the Rhode Island School of Design prepared me for my journey and how excited I am to share the first Healthy Roots doll with everyone.

One thing I felt I had to share in this interview was the fact that I have often felt rushed or pushed to do things that didn’t feel right for me or my business.
Earlier this year, a black male entrepreneur tried to strong arm me into giving him equity and control of the business because he thought his degree from Duke and business acumen were more valuable then they actually were. After I rejected him romantically and professionally, he attacked my business acumen, credibility and ability to run my own business while also giving me horrible design/marketing advice(it was really bad).

I hope that our society continues to call out men in positions of power in Hollywood, Silicon Valley and everywhere else that are using their titles and money to manipulate and abuse women.

I hope women continue to take their seat at the table and let people know to cut them their check because we work damn hard.
