I am in a constant state of embracing my flaws...
My three things that I want you to know about self love and wellness is that it takes time…. It’s practice to process and process makes purpose. Secondly, wellness is subjective to the person practicing it. It’s not a one size fits all.
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I started my business because I wanted to help people learn how to invest in their self care. Self care is an affordable luxury that most people neglect or think they have to go to a high end spa to obtain. I create products that allow one to create that luxury self care experience at home within their own bath or shower regime. What keeps me going is that aha moment my clients share when they release they are the best at taking care of their own well being and self-care.
How do you create the life you want?: That is a very good question, I feel I’m still processing creating the life that I want .For the most part I make sure that my self care regimen is very luxe as though someone else is creating my products. I take the time to enjoy nature, relish in fine foods and restaurants. Enjoying a movie. It’s about me bringing the luxe experience home.
What makes you HUMAN?: What makes me human is the fact that I am in a constant state of embracing my flaws. My flaws keep me humble.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: My three things that I want you to know about self love and wellness is that it takes time…. It’s practice to process and process makes purpose. Secondly, wellness is subjective to the person practicing it. It’s not a one size fits all. It's like a journey that people have to go on their own and along the way they meet who they are supposed to meet in that journey.
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: The one thing I recommend that people incorporate in their journey right now is to live in the now. To live in the present moment. Stop focusing so much on the future. Stop swimming in the past- just breathe in the now and let the road unfold as it should.

My first delivery was long, painful, scary and stressful.
My first delivery was long, painful, scary and stressful. When my second pregnancy came along I refused to believe that I had to go thru the same thing again. It was suggested that I drink herbal tea.
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: My first delivery was long, painful, scary and stressful. When my second pregnancy came along I refused to believe that I had to go thru the same thing again. It was suggested that I drink herbal tea. Problem was I couldn't find organic herbal loose leaf tea that I believed was right for me and my baby --- so I made it. My second baby came spontaneously at home, quick, natural and healthy. I realized I had friends and family that were looking for the same thing -- so I gave it to them. From there Hotty Herbals was born. I jumped on this path to create something I myself truly loves and share that love with others. This opportunity has brought so much joy to my family. They enjoy helping me build this company and support me. More-so, I am enjoying building a legacy for children's future, to have choices and opportunities.
How do you create the life you want?: One brick at a time. WIth patience, hard work, creativity, support and love.

2. Continuously be on a mission to out-love yourself

I’m continuously motivated by my journey to #KeepGoing
I was inspired to start Black Wholeness Collective due to my life falling apart. After reaching the top of my own success I realized I’d gotten there standing on fear, trauma, and my fragile mental health
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I was inspired to start Black Wholeness Collective due to my life falling apart. After reaching the top of my own success I realized I’d gotten there standing on fear, trauma, and my fragile mental health.
I’m continuously motivated by my journey to #KeepGoing, no matter how dark or dismal things appear. I’ve seen my share of bad days and know that I remain the strongest person I know.
Black Wholeness Collective reflects the same tenacious attitude and spirit for other African Descendants to seek healing for themselves; Mind, Body and Spirit.
How do you create the life you want?: My envision of what I want my life to be changes with the wind; I’m learning how to take my life one day and step at a time. I get to choose daily who and what I want to be; by doing things that make me happy without having to think too hard or too far into the future.
Short answer: sis, idk often and I’m becoming more ok with that answer, daily.
What makes you HUMAN?: Allowing myself the grace and mercy to make mistakes, heal, and be a full range of emotions while doing it.
I am human. I don’t have to prove that by any other means.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: 1. My self-love is mine; the world didn’t give it to me and it can’t take it away.
2. No one has any of your answers; only their own lessons.
3. Life is not a group project; you’ll have to live it and do your own work.
Extra: self-care goes beyond external things; it’s more about what you can replenish and internally do you fill in your own gaps.. think of it as your own way of internally hugging you.
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Place a focus on healing; If you’ve suffered from childhood, adolescent and or adult trauma know those foundations won’t rebuild themselves...beloved..

Be kind to yourself! Life is hard enough...
I created the life that I wanted with a plan and hard work. I literally carry my journal in my bag. I know I could put it in my phone but I’m old school in that way! My mom always says write it down and make it plain! Not only am I making it plain but I’m also affirming to myself that what I’m writing will come to pass.
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I started TuShea Natural as an answer to expensive prescription creams that still didn’t moisturize my skin, left me smelling like a medicine cabinet, and filled with steroid. I created the product line so that people of all budgets who want an alternative for skin care can afford luxury all natural type bath and body products without breaking the bank. Helping people motivates me to keep going. I do this for Ms Jackie who uses TuShea Body Whip because it helps with arthritis pain and Ms Debbi who says that a little of our Body Whip on her face keeps her wrinkles away. I do it for my son, who is 5 and watches me while I mix products and run a business. I want him to see his mom making a difference in other people's lives.

Not only am I making it plain but I’m also affirming to myself that what I’m writing will come to pass.
What makes you HUMAN?: Working to be the best version of myself that I can be is what makes me human. Knowing that I’ll fail at some things but I will succeed at many things. My failures are just setups for my success.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: Owning a self care company the three things you should know are
1. Be kind to yourself! Life is hard enough without you being in your head judging yourself.
2. Do whatever you need to do to be who you are. Figure out what makes you happy and do it. But don’t just stop at one thing, keep looking for things that make you happy and keep doing that!
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Add a plant to your life! When the pandemic first hit I have to tell you I was in a funk. Stuck in the house when the weather was at its best. Though I attended every IG party when morning came I was still stuck. I’ve never been much of a plant person prior to the pandemic. I was online and a friend who is one of those awesome farmer type women, gardens has chickens stuff like that, went her social media selling dumb cane plants. I bought the plant with minimum expectation of a long life but setting my intentions on this plant to bring fresh life into my home. This plant is now flourishing but has fulfilled me in a way I never knew it could! I say that to say living life well doesn’t have to be something huge or expensive to impact your life in a huge way.
