We had the good fortune of connecting with Keshauna H and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Keshauna, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The thought process was based on experiences I’ve had in my life. I always wanted my own clothing brand because I feel like you can express yourself through fashion. In 2017, I started my business called 21envy. I sell streetwear and hair extensions. The motivation that pushed me to sell clothes is the passing of my oldest brother known as “Johnny B”. The quoted t-shirts are a reflection of me, but others can relate as well. Once I added hair extensions, I was already in love with switching up my hair so I decided to be the plug.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
The motivation I have to keep going with anything in life. I got where I’m at today by being consistent and networking. I still have a long way to go but I’m prepared for the ride. I’ve overcome challenges by remembering where I started and reminding myself of the reasons why I started. The lessons I’ve learned along the way is that there’s always going to be challenges to face. I want the world to not only know about my story but feel my story as well.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
One of my favorite spots in Atlanta is ponce city market. They have different variety of food, drinks, views and music. Also, there is many different restaurants surrounded in the area if they want to have different options.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to thank my team and my supporters for supporting me.
