How are you making Black History today?
As a Black Med Spa owner in Detroit, Michigan, I am making Black History today in several impactful ways: Our Med Spa offers a wide range of services that focus on health, wellness, and self-care. Through these services, we have helped our community lose over 5000+ pounds. We are actively promoting the importance of wellness within our Black community, by prioritizing self-care and investing in wellness services, we are helping to address health disparities and promote positive lifestyle choices. In addition to providing services, we also educate our clients and the broader community about the importance of self-care practices and overall health maintenance. By sharing our knowledge and expertise, we empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being, ultimately contributing to the betterment of the community.
Can you share with us a significant figure from Black History who has personally inspired you and why?
One significant figure from Black History who has personally inspired me is Madam C.J. Walker. She was the first female self-made millionaire in America who built her wealth through successful lines of hair care products for Black women. Despite facing immense challenges and systemic barriers as a Black woman in the early 20th century, Madam C.J. Walker demonstrated remarkable entrepreneurial spirit and resilience. She recognized a need within her community and took bold steps to address it, laying the foundation for her business empire. Madam C.J. Walker’s legacy continues to inspire me personally because it exemplifies the potential for individuals to create positive change and overcome obstacles regardless of their background or circumstances.
For those who are also striving to leave a legacy, what advice would you share?
Stay True to Yourself. Maintain authenticity and integrity in everything you do. Stay true to your values, even when faced with pressure or temptation to compromise. Your authenticity will resonate with others and contribute to the lasting impact of your legacy.
What is next for you in 2024?
In 2024, you can expect that I’ll continue to provide health and wellness services to my community. We will continue to provide education and support across our community while helping to aid in their wellness. Our goal for 2024, is to help our community lose up to 10,000+ pounds.
