On her favorite part of the process of developing Blossom:
Simply making an idea come to life. It hasn’t even been two years yet but I look back and distinctly remember the moment I had the idea. Blossom has really just helped me realize that I can make a change in this world. I can do something to make the world I live in a different place and I can do it for other women.
On how her career experience in reality television has prepared her to start her own company:
“I hated that people truly enjoyed making Black women look bad on TV for the sake of television. I was doing it for a check but at some point it came be too much. So when I quit reality TV, I knew I wanted to do something that was empowering for women of color.”
