But that wasn't enough for me. Oh no, I had to keep pushing the limits! I decided to try my hand at designing luxury shoes, which I had manufactured overseas. People couldn't get enough of my shoes! So, naturally, I moved on to developing a ready-to-wear line that was produced up in Brooklyn, New York. I had an amazing team of interns, photographers, staff, and in-house designers and garment makers. It was a dream come true!

Then, COVID hit, and I knew I had to do something to help marginalized women who wanted to start their own businesses but lacked the support and resources. So, I created a The Business Blueprint, a business planner using all my business skills, from marketing, customer relations, overseas manufacturing, to Wix and Shopify website design. My go-to email provider is Klaviyo, even though they can be a bit pricey.

But I didn't stop there! I am now launching a consulting business specifically tailored for marginalized women who need extra support on their entrepreneurship journey. And, to give back even more, I'm also starting a nonprofit organization to help these women who can't afford the startup costs or education.

Last but not least, I'm also developing a ready-to-wear line that complements the style of female CEOs who want to lead a lavish and abundant lifestyle. Because, let's be real, why can't you be a boss and still look absolutely stunning?!

So, there you have it folks, my life story (so far!). I'm always looking for the next big adventure and I can't wait to see what's next.
