My business aptitude began at the age of 8 years old when I started selling coloring books and candy at school. This was literally reselling items from Sam's Club and printing out pages from a Barbie cd-rom and stapling them together. I did not quite understand exactly what sort of entrepreneur I wanted to become or what niche I wanted to pursue.. but I did know that I wanted to eventually be my own boss, have no ceiling for potential earnings, and teach others to do the same. After finishing my undergraduate program at the University of Southern California in Economics and MBA at Cal State University Long Beach, I was still a cog in the corporate wheel of a multinational aerospace and defense company after 10 years of service. I worked tirelessly within someone else's company, but my passion was definitely elsewhere. While running the corporate rat race, I successfully built The RedHead Solutions, which provides fully remote Accounting, Bookkeeping, Payroll, and HR services to small and midsize Clients. The RedHead Solutions promotes an anti-corporate culture, while still providing exemplary customer service in a timely and professional manner. If you want to wear red hair to work? No problem! Jeans everyday? Even better. My newest successful venture is AfroFreelancer, which provides a platform for men and women of color to showcase their professional skills and talents. It is the perfect opportunity for graphic designers, website developers, bookkeepers, virtual assistants, social media managers, and just about anything else you can think of that is remote. This platform allows freelancers to build their own brand, customer base, and unlocks access to an unlimited earning potential. I am extremely passionate about entrepreneurship, particularly amongst minorities and those who are not afforded equal opportunities. My passion as an 8 year old has now become my day-to-day reality and I could not be more thrilled to continue positively impacting the world by walking in my purpose.
