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

Hi Ashley, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The Thought process behind starting my business was a student looking for away out of poverty. I had zero knowledge on how to run a business .I knew I had to do my market research. My thoughts were its now or never. I wanted to break generation courses and uplift my younger generation. I knew whatever I did could in the future could give jobs and boost women’s confidence. I had nothing to loose and everything to gain ,so I took my passion for Beauty makeup and cosmetics and jumped in deep. My thoughts are to build lifetime relationships with my clients and other businesses like Majorette teams or building Community recognition and sponsorships.
