Meet Bella Rose | CEO/ Founder of Bella Rose Passion

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

Hi Bella, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Honestly my thought process behind starting my own business was I just wanted to make my own money, but it was a exciting, expensive journey before I even knew how to profit professionally.

What should our readers know about your business?

Bella Rose is a thriving entrepreneur and in the short amount of time, she has accomplished so much. From getting her Minority-Owned Business Certifications to Women-Owned Business Certifications and now running her beauty brand. In the 11 years, she has spent building her company Bella Rose has been featured with Martha Stewart’s Must-Haves, and right after that feature; her items were then placed in Macy’s, Walmart, and Now Target retail. She is a woman on the move. Although she comes from humble beginnings, she never let her circumstances stop her. That only motivated her and encouraged her to strive for more.

The Trenton, NJ native took life by the horns at the tender age of 16. Being an only child and now having a child of her own she knew she had to make life happen and working a regular 9 to 5 would not be the answer. As time progressed, she began to work as a New Jersey Mentor Counselor. While working there she realized this did not work for her and she was destined for something bigger. Just as time would continue to progress, Bella Rose and her husband took a trip to Atlanta, GA, and decided to pick up a month later and move, with just a few hundred dollars and what they had in savings. She began to hit the ground running on her dreams. That is where it all began to shift, and her hustle kicked into overdrive. She sought to make a permanent name for herself. Getting her brand off the ground took time and planning, but her hard work and diligence pushed her to become a mentor in the business sector as well. Shortly after she opened a small boutique.

A few months in, new business was slow, so she packed up the boutique and began to sell her clothing to local clubs, which gave her access to build a solid client base. In addition to loving Bella’s clothes, they began to ask for her services for makeup and at the time she could not fill that demand. Quickly, she invested 2K into makeup, connected with a few publicists and that was the start of her MUA Agency. — Not long after her investment, she made it to The Steve Harvey Show and began to do makeup for reality stars immediately after. In that short timeframe, Bella Rose made a versatile name for herself.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would absolutely try to find local black businesses to support.

But when my girls come if it’s no events going on we will possibly do a paint n sip/ candle making/Georgia Juke Joint for dinner. Change Church Sunday morning then brunch at Toast on Lenox or The Breakfast Bar.

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?
Absolutely, I would love to shout-out my husband for believing in my vision, investing in my goals and supporting this journey with no hesitation. I would love to shoutout our amazing children for working with me on events, orders and marketing ideas, supporting me and understanding when I had to travel and miss time with them. I also want to shoutout my supportive friends, for the encouragement, late night talks, coming to all my events and paying full price.. lol
