We had the good fortune of connecting with DOMONIQUE SCOTT and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi DOMONIQUE, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I REALLY GOT STARTED TO CREATE WHAT I FELT WAS MISSING IN CORPORATE AMERICA FOR A BLACK FEMALE HECK ANY FEMALE WE WORK HARDER PAID LESS AND ALWAYS HITTING THE GLASS CEILING! THEN ONCE I MARRIED AND HAD MY OWN DAUGHTERS I KNEW IF I DIDNT DO SOMETHING THEY WOULD ONLY HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHAT I HAD TO DEAL WITH SO I SET OUT TO CREATE A SPACE THAT WELCOME MOTHERS AND CELEBRATED OUR WORK CONTRIBUTIONS. ITS SAD WHEN A MOTHER HAS TOO CHOOSE BETWEEN GOING TO WORK OR LEAVING HER SICK CHILD HOME WITH STRANGER’S FEELING AWEFUL BECAUSE YOU HAD TO LEAVE YOUR CHILD HOME OR GETTING TO THE DAYCARE TO BE TOLD YOUR CHILD TOOK THEIR FIRST STEPS OR SAID THEIR FIRST WORDS ALL FOR COMPANIES YOU EITHER QUIT OR THEY FIRED YOU OR FOR LESS THAN 35K YR I CAN NEVER GET THAT TIME BACK AND I REFUSED TO LOOSE IT AGAIN SO I STARTED MY BUSINESS FOR THE CORPORATE MOTHERS
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I TOOK MY PAIN AND REPURPOSE IT FOR MYSELF MY DAUGHTERS AND THE WOMEN WHO LAY ON MY SPA BED EVERYDAY DEALING WITH SOME MEASURE OF OBESITY LACK OF LOVE OR POOR ESTEEMED I HAVE FOUGHT ALL THESE DEMONS AND I HAVE COME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH A FEW SCARS BUT RESTORED HEALED AND LOVE AND MY MISSION IS TO ENCOURAGE EVERY WOMAN OR MAN THAT THEY CAN DO IT TOO!
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.
OMG OF COURSE TLC SPA THEN MCK, ROSE BAR, WHISKEY MISTRESS, HIGH SOCIETY BUCKHEAD , FAAJ CLUB OMG WE WOULD BE EVERYWHERE IF WE HAD A WEEK NOT TO MENTION SHOPPING
