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

Hi Eirpricia, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my business was easy, I wanted my children to start where I ended and not where I started. I always knew I could not pass down my career to my kid and I couldn’t save enough to build generational wealth, so building businesses my children could own was one of my thought processes. My second was wanting to impact thousands by showing them it’s possible – just like it was for a little ol girl like myself!

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.
Sad to say but I’m a home body (LOL). I love food so I would attempt to find some cool restaurants we can’t experience together; building a deeper friendship because we are creating new memories together!

Of course I would be cooking for them, have drinks, and listen to good music.

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?
I have to give immense credit to my mother – Annette and my daughter – Sa’lae.

My mother is my sounding board, my prayer warrior, and my honest place. We weren’t always this close but she has always be the consistent factor in my life. She encouraged me to always be find a way to be the best me possible.

My daughter, wow! I wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for her. She is the sweetest soul.
She made me push harder and to be more vulnerable. I challenge her daily, so in doing so, it challenged me to be better because I’m who she looks to.

These two people, deserve it all!
