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

Hi Sheka, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risk plays a major role in my life; taking risk is the reason why I am the CEO of my own online boutique and living good in my 20s. It gives you opportunities; it teaches you how to be fearless and go after the things you want. It helps build faith within yourself. Nobody ever got successful being complacent. Sometimes its that one big risk you got to take to live the life you dream!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What set me apart from others is my passion for styling others, having my own style and my good quality. I’m very critique on the type of materials I choose to be a part of my brand collection. I try to pick outfits I know others boutiques don’t have. I love for my customers to step different, standout & look great while doing it. I find joy in giving women that type of confidence. And I’m always thinking of ways to put their needs first giving them good service. Like my “SAME DAY DELIVERY” method which is 6 days a week from 2pm-6pm
I am excited about my rebranding which is coming soon. Giving the girls new style with new looks!

It’s never easy going after the things you want in life because there’s always going to be struggles and troubles along the way. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is to keep going no matter what challenges you face you have to learn to keep going, keep pushing, keep trying that’s how you turn your L’s into Wins.

I want the world to know SHE GRAND is not just a online boutique it’s a luxury brand in the making. Our story haven’t even yet to begun because we’re just getting started!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
There’s so much to do its too much to name but I would take my girl to Las OLas in Fort Lauderdale. The ambiance is uniquely lit! We would first hit up one of the fancy restaurants (YOLO) get us some good food then we’ll go take cute aesthetic pictures.(Its not a girls night out without some bomb pics) Next we’ll go for drinks by the beach (Rock Bar) You can’t come to FL and not go by the beach.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My son deserves the biggest shout out because he’s the source of my motivation & biggest supporter he’s my little helper whether its helping me get a order ready or passing out my business cards to strangers when we in the stores.(yes he passes them out any & everywhere we go before we leave the house he takes a few and stuff them in his pocket) His love is the fuel to my success. 2nd is my best friend & boyfriend he supports me through everything I do. When life gets a little tough he’s always there cheering me on. My mom deserves her flowers because her tough love and words of encouragement always helps me remember who I am. She never let me settle for less!
