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

Hi Raven, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
I think we all go through our unmotivated spells. But what keeps me going is knowing that people look up to me. I have an opportunity to inspire. It’s a surreal experience when someone comes up to me and says they’ve been following my progress and how proud they are. A girl that grew up with came to me recently and said “ l started my business cause i saw you do it. I feel if you can do it I can too.” Money is a plus but to me that’s what matters.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I own an organic skincare business. My products are homemade to nourish and revive the skin for a healthy glow. I’m most proud of my products and the results that come from them. It makes me happy to see they are working for people. I got to where I am today simply through hard work and dedication. It’s not easy at all to be a solopreneur but I handle it well. My goals is to scale so that I can expand my brand awareness and create jobs opportunities.

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.
I love Mr. Diddys and Blu Seafood so we would definitely go there. We’d probably go to Edgewood for a some fried fish too. And maybe a dinner at Steak Market. I’m an active person so would go to Andretti and ifly. Maybe have drink or two at Copper cove or Cru.
