We had the good fortune of connecting with Tameshia King and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Tameshia, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risk taking is a huge advantage in personal/career growth. Instead of dreaming, or hoping for something magical to happen, you have to take that leap of faith and follow your heart. In my experience, taking risk has gotten me far. Coming from a family of hard workers, only dream of living lavish but comfortable at where they stand. I had to do something different. Think outside the box. Does my moves scare them..yes. But they are extremely proud of the outcome. Sometimes, you have to do for you. No on else can write out your life goals, or life achievements. You have to take a stand and be the narrative of your own story. No matter how uncomfortable others may feel.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am extremely proud of my consistency. When I started Kings Bundle Co., everyone heard my idea but no one took me seriously. My company is 100% invested by me. I use everything I earn from work, to personal loans, to tax returns; to support my business. I have tried to find a business partner/investor to help me thrive to the top. It takes a team to reach a million. It has not been an easy journey, but with the love and support from God, and my family, nothing can go wrong. I have learned that you cant invite everyone to eat with you. They will eat off you before helping you make more food. My plate has been emptied more times than I can count, due to me believing others care/support me. I have been robbed by my own cousins, and friends. I have been talked down on by my own (ex) spouse. Publicly humiliated by my own peers. Took a while for me to grow a strong customer base that takes me seriously. I had to remove everyone to become the woman I am today. Now I not only have hair care, but herbal, and skin care. My products are not only online, but In Walmart as well. You can shop on the Walmart app for Kings Bundle Co. Everything is organic and cruelty free,
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My favorite places to go is Georgia Aquarium and Botanical Garden. I love nature, becoming one with the earth is extremely important to me. I also love the sea life, showing her the amazing view of the aquarium is truly fascinating. I get excited every time I go. I love love LOVEEE brunch, so I definitely recommend Snooze, an A.M; Bread & Butterfly; and 10th & Piedmont. To catch some cool vibes, I would say Pure Lounge, Sahara, or Encore. We are picture takers, so I would go to Art box, or Krog street for sure.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to show extreme appreciation towards my mother and grandmother. These 2 women have been by my side through hell and back. Literally, held my hand and got me out the fire to the light. Before I started my entrepreneurial journey, I was just like any other young adult. In love and an emotional wreck. I had an amazing job and was in school for accounting at the time, life was so smooth and great, then BOOM heart ache, Dropped out of school, lost my job, started doing drugs, became a full time alcoholic. Life was hell. There was a point when I thought I screwed my life up so bad, that I just wanted it to be over…but there is no reset button, only an end. I decided to move back home in 2017, my grandma helped me find God again. Helped me regain access to ME, the real ME again. She helped me regain control of my life. My mom cried many nights, but now….she smiles so bright, I see no more worry or fear in her heart. I was able to get back healthy, started glowing and gaining weight. I cry just reminiscing about my past, but my eyes glistens as I see visions of my future. I thank those 2 little ladies, for reviving my spirit.
