Hello to everyone taking the time to read my interview! My name is Iesha Richard. I’m a Louisiana native who has spent, now, majority of her life in the great city of Houston! Above all, my parents choosing to have the tough and “mature” conversations with me while growing up set me on the path that I am on today. Throughout life, so many people adopt the belief that not addressing something means it’ll buy you more time, the problem will fix itself, or you simply just won’t have to deal with it. That’s absolutely false. My overall mission is…
Music has just sort of been the one major constant in my life. I am always listening, learning, studying, and making music all the time. Ever since i got my first drum set at the age of 8. Music was my first love and still to this day it's one of my biggest source or inspiration and joy. But for the longest time i always just kind of saw it as a hobby and not so much of what i could do with this passion and love for music. You kind of grow and are made to think that the…
I am a single, divorced, mom of a special needs child that has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, a feeding disorder and Global Developmental Delay. I have always had a desire to be an entrepreneur, yet never had the real push to do so until the birth of my daughter. Before I ventured into business, I was already navigating the music and creative arts world as a singer/songwriter in the Christian & Gospel genre, and had hopes of being known as an inspirational vocalist, speaker and author (I have authored several books available on Amazon & Kindle), however I…
My name is Amber Graham. I am the youngest of six. I grew up in Detroit, MI. After my mom passed my moms best friend took all six of my mothers children to raise when she had none of her own. Although I didn’t have the most expensive or most trendy outfits growing up I was always pushed to express my creativity. I would cut up old sheets and make them into pajamas sewing the fabric by hand. I’d take my sister’s hand me downs bleach, cut, or tie them to create something of my own. I’d sketch my designs…
I’ve loved the arts for as long as I can remember. I was in the choir, took dance classes, drama classes as a kid, I’ve always loved the freedom of it. I didn’t focus in on writing specifically until about I was about 13 or 14. I had just moved from my hometown & was struggling to settle in a new place. It really became a means of coping and making sense of the world around me, that much has persisted even today at 29. Now I not only use it to grapple with the world but to tell my…
My husband and I along with our son have been here Houston for 4 years. I was born and raised in South Florida. I spent the majority of my younger childhood years in a little small town called Marianna, Fl. This little girl often times would be found day dreaming about being a woman of influence a leader the vision was so clear and vivid at that time she didn’t have the words to articulate what it was she saw. And to be honest she didn’t have any examples of women who looked like her doing what she saw yet…
After being a serial entrepreneur for so many years, it has helped me be intentional in making decisions, pressing on in every area of my life even in the midst of battles that arise! For as long as I can remember, I have had an enormous appetite for learning, researching and creating. This has been one of the reasons why I’m consistently launching projects, starting businesses, helping others grow their businesses and growing my multiple brand platforms. When you know you have a message to share with the world, everything becomes apart of it in your life. You will see…
My name is Mery, I'm 34 years old and I'm Italian [originally from Pozzuoli, a small town in Naples]! I have been married to one of my countrymen for 13 years and we have 2 children, the first of 12 years and the second of 10 years. I have always liked being in the kitchen and this passion for cakes was born several years ago when for the first time I saw the 3D Barbie cake on the web, there I felt something inside that I can't explain, and on the same day I tried to make it for my…
My passion for photography was reignited six years ago when I dropped and broke my cell phone. My wife and I had recently had a son and just as he was beginning to crawl is when it happened; all of those moments were gone. It was then, I decided I was going to be the guy at all of his son’s functions with a camera and I decided to take up photography again. I say again because the initial interest came from years prior. When I was younger, I’d borrowed my Dad’s camera to capture images of our middle school…
I’ve always had a love for entertaining people and hosting unique events. Being a foodie at heart, I enjoy exploring new venues and looking for opportunities to share with my close friends and family. Three years ago, I decided to invite my family members and a few close friends on a wine tour I curated. I am so passionate about wine and food, and I thought the wine tour would be an awesome way to celebrate my birthday. Needless to say, the tour was a phenomenal success and everyone raved about the experience. We created so many awesome memories that…
