We had the good fortune of connecting with CEO KEISHA and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi CEO, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
STARTING DRIPPIN CHOCOLATE WAS TO ADDRESS ONE ISSUE AND ONE ISSUE ONLY…. AND THAT WAS TO ENCOURAGE WOMAN WITH SKIN TONE AS MELANIN AS MINE THAT WE ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER HOW DARK OUR TONE MAY BE. THEN AS TIME EVOLVED SO DID MY THOUGHT PROCESS…THAT I WANTED TO MAKE ALL WOMAN FEEL AS GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL AS THEY SHOULD NO MATTER THE TONE WE MAY HAVE!
What should our readers know about your business?
IM A VERY STRONG HEADED PERSON WHERE I COME FROM YOU HAD TWO CHOICES THE STREETS OR THE STREETS I PRETTY MUCH KNEW I WANTED TO GRIND/HUSTLE. IT WAS A THRILL FOR ME SO AFTER KINDA BEING IN THE STREETS THEN GETTING PREGNANT AT 16 I KNOW I DIDNT WANT THAT LIFE FOR MY DAUGHTER. SO THE DRIVE WENT INTO WORKING INTO BECOMING A BUSINESS OWNER. MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO RECIPROCATE EATING SO MY TEAM CAN EAT. IVE LEARNED MANY VALUABLE LESSONS ALONG THE WAY BUT ONE THAT STUCK WITH ME THROUGHOUT MY JOURNEY NO MATTER WHAT DAY IT WAS OR HOW I FELT WAS “LIFE GOES ON”. CONTINUE TO PUSH LIVE LIFE LESS STRESS LESS TALKING AND JUST GRIND. I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT DRIPPIN CHOCOLATE BOUTIQUE IS THE VOICE FOR WOMAN WE STAND BEHIND OUT CUSTOMERS JUST AS MUCH AS OUR BRAND AND NO MATTER THE SIZE OR COLOR YOU ARE IMPORTANT AND DONT CHANGE OR LOOSE THAT FOR ANYBODY.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
IM FROM JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA SO WE DONT HAVE ALOT OF ATTRACTIONS BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD AND NIGHTLIFE THIS THE PLACE TO BE .SO A NICE LITTLE OUTING AT THE LEGACY BAR AND GRILL OR WE MIGHT HIT JET SKIS WITH CHEAPSKATE ADVENTURES MAYBE BOWLING AT JAX LANES.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
IM MORE OF A SELF MOTIVATED PERSON I HONESTLY HAD A GROUP OF 4 LITTLE ONES THAT I HAVE GIVEN BIRTH TO THAT WAS MOTIVATION ENOUGH FOR ME. I DIDNT HONESTLY HAVE HELP WITH STARTING DRIPPIN CHOCOLATE BUT MY SISTER HAS BEEN HEAD IN WITH ME THROUGH THESE LAST 2 YEARS OF MY JOURNEY AND I APPRECIATE HER FOR HER KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE I CAN BE A LITTLE CHALLENGING AT TIMES.
