You're considering a career change. What sets entrepreneurship apart from traditional careers?
I think this is key because entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. In my own experience, if I wasn’t so incredibly obsessed with the problem I am aiming to solve I would have easily given up. You need relentless passion in order to help stay motivated through the tough times - When you keeping being told no by investors, when people doubt your ability, when the money isn’t coming in and you have to pivot, etc. And mind you, the passion should be for the problem, not the solution.

The goal of Urban Beauty is to increase the visibility of black female entrepreneurialism and showcase black women’s role as major contributors to American enterprise by articulating the historical and present-day discourse surrounding their exclusion to flip the paradigm and develop new concepts for ecosystem existence. Urban beauty takes the form of a written anthropological deep dive that explores the evolution of black female entrepreneurialism from the Antebellum period to present day and culminates in a visual atlas titled “Seeing Black: The Unseen Narratives of the Black Hair Care Industry.” “Seeing Black” was purposefully designed to be perfectly in-cohesive and unapologetically bold, to contrast the almost clinical diagnostics of generic business nomenclature. With each map comes a unique representation of the once-invisible voices of black female entrepreneurialism, a glimpse at the everyday inside a hidden ecology.
