Girl Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Success, Sanity, and Happiness for the Female Entrepreneur

What is the one thing that you feel women business owners need on
their journey?
Other positive women. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today if it were not
for the amazing women I chose to have in my life. I can call upon them for
advice, suggestions, help, always.
How do you deal with fear?
This is a tough one for me personally. Facing your own fear is very personal
and can affect each of us differently. I am honest and open about my fears
and what I am fearful about in my business. I am not embarrassed to reach
out to everyone I know and say I need you or that I need my beauty
warriors by my side to get through a rough patch. I’ve sent out this call just
recently a matter of fact.
What does your typical day look like?

---

I don’t even know what typical means. I am everywhere from the office, to
doing TV segments, speaking engagements, meeting with my labs, touring
the college market, and going to many beauty events to see what is new and
innovative in the space.
What is inspiring you right now?
My journey inspires me. It is uniquely my own and I am thankful and
appreciative for the beauty and the people I meet along the way both here
throughout the U.S. and abroad. I love photography and many people that
follow me on Instagram and Facebook see all of the pictures in nature that I
truly love to take. It has become a hobby for me and I have even been hired
to shoot for some brands as well.
I know you just launched Pride & Glory. Can you tell us about it?
Yes, thank you for asking. I announced the launch of Pride & Glory fall
2015. I had worked on the DNA of what the brand would become for nearly
a year and a half before I made the public announcement, as it was a huge
undertaking. Pride & Glory is the country’s first cohesive collegiate
personal care brand. Meaning, we make bath and body care products for the
universities and we give back 2% of our profits to the Leadership and
Service Centers on each campus we partner with. We are an officially
licensed partner of the universities, which is very difficult to become.
