Hi Keisha, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was Always THINK BIG! I always wanted to be my own boss and watching my mother raise her children as a single mother I wanted to show her that I would always be great and make her proud and buy her a big house. I Always been a Hustler/Entrepreneur since I was in the 6th grade Turning on Cellphones lol. I started off making adult Liquor drinks to owning my own beauty salon. And Becoming A Hair stylist To Having My Own Clothing Brand, Upcoming Female Rap Artist. All With Hard Work & Dedication . I Had My Son When I was 18 years old and From There My Motivation Expanded to wanting to give my son a life where we don’t have to struggle anymore Or My Son Ever Faces The Challenges I Experienced in my Life. My Son Will Be Proud Of Me That’s What Matters To Me.I want to be His Superhero & Some He Looks Up To. That’s Why I’m Always Figuring Out My Next Hustle I’m The Type I Don’t Give Up So Easy. I also grew up bi-racial/mixed culture so I always wanted to make a difference by making others that look different like me Beautiful. I Always Lived By Bless Some One & You Will Forever Be Blessed .

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I Am An Entrepreneur/Mixologist /Hairstylist/ Upcoming Female Rapper. I remember when I first started Hustling Turning on cellphones for $5 & Rapping.
I was 13 yrs old making music & Dance routines in my moms living room with the old camcorder. I remember Every time I Got A Baby Doll I would Do Something Crazy To Her Hair lol.
I Always Had thoughts of becoming famous or a business woman.
my moms dedication and hustle Made Me Want It Just As Bad As She Did.
She made sure we didn’t go with out. Or at least tried to. I Became A Small Black Owned Business Back In 2015. I Started off Making adult cocktails Drinks & Catering Parties,Even Making Easter Baskets & Selling Them On The Corners Of Different Neighborhoods,From There I became A Hairstylist. I started doing hair on my back porch to next Taking a hair Class , now having my own shop & Selling My own hairline & Products & My Own Clothing Brand . I thank GOD for All He Has Done in my life.Put GOD First & Everything Else Will Fall In Place.That’s what my grandma Juanita would Always Say.
What sets my Business apart from others is that I genuinely Put my Heart & Soul, And Also Blood Into making People Beautiful & Seeing there real smile after knowing I Really Made Someone’s Day Is what makes me proud.I’ve Learned lots of lessons As A Entrepreneur, I live by The Saying Never give up,Always Take Risks & No Matter What Life Throws At You Keep Pushing.Lastly I would love for the world to truly understand that my business stands on Customer Satisfactory I am Someone who cares about the clients that I serve and I am here to provide nothing but the greatest Service & Hospitality..I know my Story Is A Real Testimony & Can Be A Help To Others.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If My best friend was visiting the area and I wanted to show them the best time ever I would start by taking them to My Shop To Doll Them All Up & Make Them Look Beautiful. Then We Would go to Fort Lauderdale or Miami beach because I love the sun and water. Then Go Out For a Night on a the Town Maybe Grab A Few Drinks at this restaurant called Grails in wynwood. I would then Take Them To 2 different Malls Maybe sawgrass mall in Fort Lauderdale and then Go To Aventura Mall In Miami because I love shopping it’s therapeutic for me as well as a variety of different items to buy. Also I love food so I would take them to try this resturant called dunkoos in wynwood there food is sooo delicious and I love the fact that it’s island food.I know my friends like music so I would take them to maybe a nice lounge for music and good vibes. Also I Have not yet Experienced Going To a Museum Where I live So I would Add The frost museum To our itinerary as well gives us something different to check out . And lastly I would end the Weeknd turning up in one of Miami’s hottest Gentlemens club buying bottles and hanging out making memories with my girls.
