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

Hi Kamille, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was “how could I make a name for myself”. Of course, providing people with quality products and service was on my mind, too. But standing out, was the main thing on my mind.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Kad Black Hair Extensions was originated October 14th, 2017. It wasn’t easy, it was difficult. During this time, everybody was selling hair and it was a struggle trying to get sales. However, for me, what helped my brand stand out the most, was my honesty about my products, and my company’s name. The name, Kad Black, will have you wondering, “how do you pronounce that”, “who is that”, “what is it”.So, I would use that as a marketing strategy for engagement and sales. I promoted myself every single day. I cared more about making sales than making profit. I made sure everything was perfect when it came to my brand. Look, I was losing money to make money, and I was okay with that, because I had to make a name for myself. I had to get people to know that my products were quality products, by any means. Through the ups and downs, I’ve managed to turn a company that was barely making sales for an entire year, to a million dollar company.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my bestfriend was visiting, I would definitely take them to a nice restaurant downtown and to the mall. Simply because I love shopping, so I’ll try to go to every mall there is, because every mall experience is not the same, lol. However, before we do all of this, we would have to visit B.Chanelle so she could install our Kad Black Hair Extensions.

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?
While juggling the lifestyle I have, it’s always great to have someone that encourages you to be the best version of yourself. I’m so happy I have my husband for that. He pushes me everyday to be better than I was. There are days that I want to give up and just hang it up, but he always provides me with the most encouraging words. He always tell me, “You’re in a position that most people aren’t, you can do anything you put your mind to, don’t let one thing or one comment shut you down. You’re a billionaire!”
