We had the good fortune of connecting with Sheddie Fleurenceau and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sheddie, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
Although, there’s been many things that I have learned throughout owning a business, the most important lesson that my business has taught me is definitely taking risk. This has taught me to stop being afraid of what can go wrong in my business but instead think about what can go right if I actually just do it. Risk-taking has allowed me to have faith and feel more confident in order to lead my business and I to success.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a hair provider who also dyes hair and I genuinely love doing it. Theres always been a passion when it came to the beauty industry for me, learning how to do makeup and even individual lashes. The rush that I’ve felt when making women feel beautiful has always been here. Consistency has been a factor in getting to where I am today and just believing in myself, even if it feels like others may not. It has not been easy, nothing in life is easy but I’ve pushed myself to execute the things that I would like too. The lessons I’ve learned along the way is remaining patient and just keep working. My brand is focused on what is needed from my consumers and how I can deliver more than what is assured because I am driven behind my brand.

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.
Miami is known for their beaches and night life activities, therefore I’d take them to Miami Beach area. We would eat from various places from brunch such as Big Pink to dinner places like Sugar Factory. Bar hopping would be an ideal thing when it comes to visiting and trying out different drinks. The most exciting places or things to check out would definitely be paint balling, jet skiing, and even speed boating as some of the top attractions when visiting.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
After God, my mother deserves credit in allowing me to be expressive towards everything that I’ve ever wanted to do. She deserves to be recognized because she’s a single mother whose never left my side no matter the circumstances. My mother has been a great listener to my business ideas and even being present when I feel like things are becoming to much.
