What led you to start a business of your own?
A profound need for change in the beauty supply industry drove me to start my own business. As a black woman, I experienced the challenges of finding quality products, expertise, and good customer service in minority-owned beauty supply stores. Tired of the long drives to Dallas and the lackluster experiences in other stores, I recognized the necessity for a beauty supply destination that prioritized expertise and excellent customer service and offered products tailored to the specific needs of black women, addressing concerns like scalp health. The 1.5-hour drive from Tyler fueled my determination to create a space where black women can access what they truly need, promoting empowerment and celebrating diverse beauty.

Tell our readers about your family life/career outside of your business.
Outside of It’s Bout Time Beauty Supply, I wear the hat of a registered respiratory therapist, bringing diverse skills and experiences to my career. On a personal note, my family life revolves around the joy of RV camping, with Oklahoma being a favorite destination for its scenic beauty and tranquil surroundings. Another passion of ours is boating, particularly on the serene waters of Arkansas, where we enjoy the freedom of cruising on our glassport boat.
As proud pet parents, our furry companions are cherished family members. My spouse and I are blessed with three grown children who bring us immeasurable joy. Welcoming two grandchildren and anticipating the arrival of another grandchild further adds to the richness of our family journey.
