What made you want to become an entrepreneur?

TW: As a child I loved fashion, I’d like to say “it’s in me not on me” jokingly, I love to dress and style. I had my first job at sixteen and from there I knew I wanted to be on my own time.

What was the first step you took in putting your vision into motion?

TW: Getting into modeling and music videos were the first steps I took into breaking into the entertainment business. Entertainment goes hand in hand with fashion, it’s one big circle and I loved the fact that I could make my own schedule. Building exposure for you and your brand helps with marketing your business a lot.

What risks did you take with your business?

TW: I took risks by investing the last of my funds several times into my business. I’ve worked long days and nights without sleep because I rarely say “no” to a booking. The more I’m booked the more people I encounter. The more people I encounter the more clientele I receive.

What’s the best way to build your business and still keep yourself afloat financially?

TW: Stay focused on working towards your goals and focus on what’s important.

Top 3 things you would tell young females aspiring to own their own boutiques one day?
