We had the good fortune of connecting with Jennell J. Davis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jennell J., what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I began to take an interest in Skincare and thinking about starting a business while I was pregnant with my youngest son. My less-evolved self was very much a procrastinator, so when my son Khari was born with severe eczema, I knew that was God pushing me into my purpose. Nothing worked for him, I tried everything. After researching ingredients I began to have a better understanding of why the products I was buying weren’t working, so I set out to make products that work AND are skin safe.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My art is really in helping people feel better and have more confidence. I always say it’s deeper than Skincare. This is a lifestyle that’s centered around balance. My products are made with natural ingredients, fruits, & vegetables. It’s like food for your skin, but it’s also my intention to give you food for your soul. I battled depression for a long time and the real glow comes from truly loving, valuing, and respecting yourself! A lot of times we look for superficial remedies to modify our external appearance and I want your skin to glow AND your soul to prosper! It takes serious work, but life is so much better through healed lenses.

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.
I’m not from Dallas and to be honest I haven’t really had a chance to explore like I want to but I will tell you this, there is no shortage of fun to be had.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to dedicate my shout out to God. He has given me the strength to persevere when I thought I couldn’t, changed my perspective about myself and my capabilities, and gave me the grace to hope again❤️
