Thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. Congratulations on all your achievements to date. You were born in Detroit, Michigan. Can you tell us a little about life for you there?

Growing up, I always focused on my studies and becoming a surgeon. My mother was a doctor and my father a business company owner. I grew up mainly making Honor roll grades. I played sports, so that kept me busy along with maintaining good grades. Detroit was definitely different. I mean from high crime rates to really growing up with only my own race I did not know the world was so big, until I moved and began High School. My parents, and grandparents, provided my siblings, and I, with so much love that the hard times seemed normal and when I moved to the suburbs, I realized that the things that were normal in Detroit and things that were normal in Oakland County were completely two different normal.

What got you started as an Entrepreneur Influencer?

Well, I always wanted to work for myself but not just me working for myself but my family being able to own something that we could run and pass down generations to come. 

What has been your favorite start-up to date?

Fashion Fantasy is my favorite start up however, I have many new ideas that will be equally as impactful!

How do you market your business, and which tactics have been most successful?

We have tons of partnered companies and investors that assist us in marketing currently and the current direction we are taking is focusing on social media platform advertising as well as seminars.

How do you define success?

I believe success is just the true happiness of oneself. Most people believe money means success or having the most expensive cars but honestly to me success is being able to come home knowing my family is happy and that I did something that the world will remember in a positive way. If I did that then I am not just successful, but I’ve inspired other people to be successful too.

What piece of advice would you give other Entrepreneurs?

The most important thing is to NEVER GIVE UP. I have had days where things just worked that I did not even believe in. Positivity is key and God tells us that our tongue is immensely powerful so what we speak comes true. You speak things into existence.  I’m successful at what I do because I woke up telling myself that the positive things, I wanted in life will happen.
