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

Hi Ishara, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
There’s no giving up! That’s it that’s all. When you’ve invariably dreamt of something but impuissant of putting your finger on it or the vision was still a bit foggy through it all you keep going. Then you get this aha moment and you know this is it, this is the feeling and I feel fulfilled doing this. In that moment is when you say to self, you have to keep going. When others see you, you know you’re doing something right, so you can’t give up. They see where your business has started and where it has grown to be right in front of their eyes. People always tell me I inspire them however I had to start believing more in myself the same way others believed and seen my full potential.

There’s going to be days where you don’t feel motivated or even question yourself am I on the right path. There will be days that’s hard despite that you work through it, Learn from it and keep going!

Being able to inspire others and for it to be proven that it can be done is what keep me going. I want to to touch so many women , all ethnic backgrounds. I want all women to feel how I feel and that’s confident, beautiful and knowing I can take on anything I put my mind to and turn into gold. I love helping others. I feel it’s always been my gift and I’m just truly tapping into it. Galore Beauty Brand will touch many.

What should our readers know about your business?
I created Galore Beauty Brand in thought, How can I show up authentically as me! How can I help inspire others all while doing what I love. I started Galore Beauty Brand because I’m a girly girl I like all the glitz, anything over the top. I Love basically all things beauty [That is where Galore Beauty comes from]
Creating a beauty brand where I can highlight SELFCARE but also being sure it aligns with my daily life. I created skin care products being skin has always been my thing. I’m overly obsessed with beauty products to ensure my skin is always flawless and that’s how the brand started. Ive played with so many ideas until I found one that speaks for me and that’s a skin care line where our Products are handmade. I decided to include all products in a kit where you can start and continue a skincare routine in the comfort of your home.

I take pride in feeling good. I always say when you look good, you feel good and when you fell good that’s when you perform at you highest capability. Loving on yourself and living in your definition of luxury. That is what my brand represents that was the thought process behind creating a business I love. It’s never easy running a business.I enjoy learning and growing with it everyday. I must say the hardest part is starting.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
A week long trip here with my best friend, we about to be outsideee lol. Honestly,. Atlanta has so Many hot spots. They need to call this the city that never sleeps. There is something to do literally everyday. I will definitely start by taking her to day party /brunch at suite lounge here. I love supporting any black own business so a few places we will eat at during that week will be The Hive. I just came across this place called licikety split, food is amazing. for a night vibe where we can hear some music and destined for a good time will be fin and feathers.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Where do I begin? I give all credit to God first however, I also have to thank my mother and my village. They know who they are.
