We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Shanice Taylor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Shanice, what is the most important factor behind your success?
God has been the driving force behind this business. It may sound cliche, but it is so true. From the beginning, I asked God to take charge of this business venture and guide my steps. Even in the moments when I’ve felt like quitting, I’ve always consulted God to see which way I should go next. My mom and husband have also been important factors in assisting me in doing the leg work of the brand and encouraging me to keep going.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a pharmacist by training and work for a pharmaceutical company. A big part of my success in my career is a result of having the opportunity to earn my doctor of pharmacy degree from Howard University College of Pharmacy in Washington DC. I learned so much from my time there and made so many valuable connections that made it possible for me to pursue a nontraditional career in pharmacy, and laid the groundwork for me to create the plant based natural hair product line, RxHair.

During my journey, I’ve learned the importance of prayer, faith in God, hard work, seizing opportunities, networking, and having a great support system. All of these elements worked together to help me overcome self-doubt and other hurdles that presented themselves periodically.

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.
I enjoy going out to cute restaurants, the beach, museums, and relaxing at home with a nice meal and good company, so if hosting a friend for a week, I would indulge them in those activities.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I dedicate this shoutout to my mom who has been such a huge help from the beginning of this brand until now. I’d also love to shoutout the RxHair family: the customers who support RxHair, purchasing products and sharing them with their families and friends.
