Hi Rose, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting my own business was the sense of building a legacy for my kids.

What should our readers know about your business?
Pink Maison Showroom was established on March 1st 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. We open our doors on June 22nd 2020. The showroom and studio is located inside the Healy Building, 57 Forsyth Street NW . We are nestle in the heart of downtown Atlanta , next door to Mercedes Benz stadium and CNN world center, and steps from the Georgia State University The showroom is complimented with the NYSFE creative studio. A full instagramable creative space suitable for all creatives. Even though we weren’t able to produce a grand opening , we were successful in hosting a virtual fashion show. I am most excited about the prospects of working with Atlanta creatives, as we aim to creating for the creatives. Us women are always not seen wearing the pants, being the fact that my husband is always the driver it was an obstacle trying to launch my business , then I decided to be the driver and not the passenger. The obstacles I have come across are polices and procedures, construction , manufacturing just to name a few. I over come these obstacles y doing my research on launching a showroom and how to construct fixtures, furnitures and fixtures inside a showroom, by doing it allows me to hire the right persons to complete the task I was not physical able to . The focus and Implementation of values in my business concept have always existed from the beginning. The value that I am able to provide to everyone that uses our services helps me to overcome these obstacles. Pink Maison Brand was established in March of 2020 and during the COVID-19 pandemic. We open our doors on June 22nd, 2020 We weren’t able to conduct the grand opening we wanted, however we utilized social media and were very happy about the feedback from our community. The concept of the showroom don’t just relied on brick & mortar sale , that’s just one of the multiple revenue generation. Pink Maison is heavily generated sales through online channel at pinkmaison.com Since our 90 days of opening, we have conducted multiple movie productions , brand commercials , virtual fashion shows and small cocktail sip and shop. I see COVID as a blessing despite all that is happening , I was able to burst Pink Maison while thinking about the future success of a brick and mortar . I decided to work harder and eliminate my comfort zone and grow into the person I have become. I for one as a woman I believe when you start something you should follow through until the end. I alway want to ensure I give my 200% that I can achieve the desire and result inset forth. Pink Maison is a brand , we are more than retail. Pink Maison is a brand to show any upcoming entrepreneurs that during adversity you can reach beyond any limitations. We decided to have Pink Maison showroom, and event space to allow creatives to express themselves whether it be clothing retail or creating content and event. Social media is Pink Maison number one avenue for all our content . The use of social media has allowed us to reach the masses that your regular marketing outlet wouldn’t , such as tv, radio etc. Our biggest platform of social media is Instagram with our engagement from our audience. We post content daily on our feed to keep our audience engage and up to date with new happenings of Pink Maison We were able to maximize our ability to create , which includes IG , & FB live, This has been a incredible benefit to Pink Maison because we see the smiles we put on our customer faces.

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.
My favorite spots in the city are Atlanta Fish Market, Krog Street , High Museum, Atlanta Botanical Garden, Skyview Atlanta, and the Historic Fourth Ward Park.

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?
Definitely my friend/ partner /husband , Christopher of 20 years , my business partner and friend Jessi-Mar and of course my kids.
