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

Hi Li, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I didn’t really have a thought process that’s the crazy part, I kind of just went for it and didn’t know where I would end up. I owe everything to God! This is a real learning process and I’m just grateful for the ups and downs.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m excited about my next chapter, I’m in a whole new space and new energy in my life right now. I have a lot to be thankful for. My mood right now is making money and just being happy in life. I’m rebranding li locs really soon, I’m excited about that, cause it’s going to be lit. I also have a online beauty store coming soon. I want people to know Nothing comes easy I tell you that and it has been really hard and I’m going through every emotion with my business but I won’t stop and can’t stop. My story doesn’t stop here I’m just getting started .

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m a very balanced person..

I would take them to the booty club every night but then we would also go to a museum and the park . I’m also very adventures so anything that gives me a rush is a go for me, lol sixflaggs/whitewaters is always a good time as well as places like puttshack and main event. & if I could be a food critic I would be one cause one thing about me .. ima eat and eat good too!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have to give thanks to my family and friends for being my models when I first started out but most importantly my Mama. She’s always there for me whenever however and wherever. I also wanna thank Dietrich from the Crotchet Beauty Bar she gave me a space to create in and of course to all my clients and loved ones that keeps me going. This is for y’all! xoxo
