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

Hi Tamika, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I never went into my journey with intentions to make money, I simply wanted to do things throughout the day they I wanted to do and not what I had to do. I ultimately found a way to make money off of the things that I loved doing. Once I began to have freedom in my day I research and continued to find more ways to make money through my creativity and hobbies. The rest is history as they say…

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
From teen mom to CEO is my story but mainly I am just a visionary who always wanted the thoughts in her head to be her reality. I am obsessed with dreaming out loud and that has been my goal all of life. Unfortunately over the years I experienced trauma after trauma so I got caught up and creating stories that would allow me to forget my pain. I’ve loss parents, been betrayed by my spouse, experienced horrible events in my quest to be a good mother, and ultimately had to find happiness in a world full of evil lol. It took creating my own love story with myself, purposely being single, and identifying my love languages that have allowed me to heal and ultimately become my best self.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take my friend to Nouveau to eat, the trampoline park for play, Lava Lounge to dance with a random boo, and drinks at Fellaship so we could be boogie and ghetto all in the same day.

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?
Shout Out to My Mama! A Black woman created me, a Black woman prayed over me, and being a Black woman is my Legacy.
