What makes me human is that I am not perfect...
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: What inspired me to start my own life coaching business was after experiencing my own journey of transitioning from a divorce. Learning how to navigate through life as a new mother and single was very challenging deciding on which focuses I needed to prepare myself for having a life coach would’ve been much easier. So I began to coach my peers in the circle of women in my community which led to me becoming certified and creating Stacey Kiarra life coaching for women in transition.
How do you create the life you want?: I create the life that I want by setting goals prioritizing throughout the year I aluminate most in all toxic environments whether it’s social, mental and physical environments. I also have a life coach and a mentor that keeps me accountable throughout the year.
What makes you HUMAN?: What makes me human is that I am not perfect. I deal with life adversities just like every other person. However I strive to be more godlike yet I understand and judge no one.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: Self-love starts with your spiritual awareness, understanding that God made you for a purpose.
Take time to heal. Learn to understand where self doubt and any insecurities you may have come from I seeking a therapist.
Plan with intentions on self improvement in areas you feel you need. Life coaching can guide you through those roadblocks and help you become the best version of yourself
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: To live life well, I would say meditation gives more spiritual awareness. Therapy is a must to untangle our past. And discipline, learning to discipline our mind over our emotions can you help us navigate closer to our goals and a healthy space.

Self-love and wellness is a marathon not a sprint.
While I'm a Black woman and absolutely understand the unique support and empowerment Black women need, I'm an intersectional feminist and wanted to provide merch that uplifts all women; black, brown, trans, white....
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: While I'm a Black woman and absolutely understand the unique support and empowerment Black women need, I'm an intersectional feminist and wanted to provide merch that uplifts all women; black, brown, trans, white.... While we definitely have differences and unique needs, we are humans first and foremost and share a need to support and uplift each other.
So, I have t-shirts, hoodies and accessories that is Black culture-themed and for women in general. I'm also a woman in STEM. I help development teams with product design by conducting user research and help them engineer products that truly support user needs (UX). So, I also have a growing collection of merch with that theme. Right now, the merch is generalized but I plan to shift the focus to women and Blacks in STEM.
I just started this year and while marketing is hard, what keeps me going is my continued belief that this need still exists. We (women) need more apparel and accessories that reflect our vibe whether it's confidence, progressive, pride, thankful, etc.
How do you create the life you want?: I try to always be learning and growing, then share what I learn about health and finance with people that I love. Even as a mid-career single mother, I returned to school to get a Master's degree and advance my career. I make an assertive effort to be an empathetic and understanding ear for my family and friends, even if I don't agree, because what people need more than agreement is to feel heard and understood.
What makes you HUMAN?: Being alive first and foremost. We all deserve love, respect and fair treatment in our pursuit for happiness and prosperity. Equal to receiving the basic rights of being a human, we need to actively work to respect the humanity of others as they too deserve love, respect and fair treatment regardless if we share their experience and their views.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: 1. Self-love and wellness is a marathon not a sprint.
2. Self-Love: The world throws challenges away daily, and so it is a daily effort to practice self-love and self-care.
3. Whether it's coffee with a good friend, reading a good book with a lavender candle burning, or sporting motivational apparel, there's so many ways we can (and should) include people and things in our lives that uplift and encourage our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being.

For many years I had a hard time with creating the life I wanted.
Self love/wellness are both so vital to our inner health. We need to understand that in order to be great for ourselves and for others that depend on us, we need to set time aside almost daily to stay grounded.
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: Growth of confidence and my overall love for Art inspired me to start my business, but knowing that I am FINALLY investing in myself is what keeps me going. I have spent enough time helping other people's dreams become reality and it feels good to put that same energy into myself.
How do you create the life you want?: For many years I had a hard time with creating the life I wanted. I kept making the mistake of trying to fit Art into the equation, instead of putting it there and working around it. I'm thankful I have a GREAT work/life balance that allows me to be an Artist and an Accountant.
What makes you HUMAN?: MISTAKES. MISTAKES. And more MISTAKES. I have found that mistakes aren't always meant to make us feel ashamed, but instead offers an opportunity to grow and to show that we aren't as perfect as we like to think at times.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: Self love/wellness are both so vital to our inner health. We need to understand that in order to be great for ourselves and for others that depend on us, we need to set time aside almost daily to stay grounded.
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: I started #blackgirlyoga virtually and have found that connecting with other fellow Queens while releasing together to be extremely helpful. I would encourage everyone to find a similar activity for the support.

What inspired you to start your business and why?:
The teachings of my late grandmother, Olivia (who was better known as “Mother Canada”). My grandmother is the reason for my passion in wellness and taking care of the body, especially the bodies of the Black community. Growing up, there really weren’t any healing practices, professionals or resources that associated with the bodies of Black people, especially Black women, and learning generations of healing and wellness rituals from my grandmother, even as a child, sparked my interest to be the next generation of healers and advocates for my community.
What does your company stand for?:
Our company aims to increase the awareness of transforming wombs that create magical orgasms, beautiful babies, happiness and amazing self-love with care, education, healing and advocating. My focus is to provide wellness guidance and healing services to individuals who are in need to conceive, have successfully conceived and are need of assistance for successful pregnancies, but also to those who have suffered the loss due miscarriage or abortion or for those who just want to live a life of healing and wellness in general. My mission is to heal and create improved bodies for those in need in the Black community.
How do you create the life you want?:
Just by being my true self. I always grew up hiding myself and passion for my interest in healing and wellness even though I was raised around women who taught me to never be afraid to stand out and be different from the rest. Now I stand by their philosophies about one’s true identity and I create my life the way I want to always feel: with love, happiness, strength and liberation.
Where do you find inspiration?:
I find it through self-reflection and the teachings of the women in my family. Femininity and strength was always taught to be embraced. So I tap deep within myself through prayer, worship and meditation to embark on my journey of being more free in my Creator’s creativity within myself.
How has your business made you a better person?:
It has taught me how to be more free to be myself and in my truth. When I’m in my truth, I’m able to create a better healing practice for the community and remove any energetic blocks that may hinder the process of learning and growing more in my practice and knowledge of healing and wellness.
What makes you HUMAN?:
My flaws and loving all of them. My awareness that I have flaws is what makes me who I am. To not feel ashamed and to only embrace them more so I can feel and create a better me each day.
