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

Hi Travon, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My Thought Process Was I Was Tired Of Working For Somebody That Did Not Value Me. I Wanted To Build Generational Weatlh For My Family & Myself . I Wanted To Show Lil Black Boys Like Myself That Come From Where I Come From That They Too Can Make It If The Believe In What They Do & PUT IN THE WORK .

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I Am A Artist First I Been Creating Since 14 Years Old Doing Hair For Everybody In My Family & Neighborhood . I Have A Been A Model & Eventually Around 18 Years Old I Got Into Makeup & That Really Got My Creativity Flowing Because It Allowed Me To Create Anything and Be Anybody . I Am Excited For My Future and Everything GOD Has In Store For Me . I Got Where I am Today By Not Giving Up , Work Hard Even When I Don’t Want Too & Having A Good Support System . NO The Road To Success Is NEVER Easy But Put In The Work & You Can Do Anything . I Overcame The Challenges By Working Hard , Networking & Being Consist . The Lessons I Learned Along The Way Is What Is For You , Is For You & Nobody Can Take That Away . I Want The World To Know That I Am Human That Has Been Thru Alot But With Determination , Hardworking , good support system , and the will power to make it YOU CAN ,

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 Would Take MY Best friend On Electric Scooter Rider Tour , Show Them The Arts District , Good Seafood Restaurant . Etc

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
