Today, we’re in conversation with Karen Mitchell, Owner & Founder of True Indian Hair -- a hair extension company with clients such as Rihanna, Taraji P. Henson, Serena, Kelly Rowland, Lil Kim, Zoe Kravitz, Naomi Campbell and so many more. Karen hails from her home town in Jamaica who became an entrepreneur and set up shop in Brooklyn, NY.

Karen opens up about getting laid off from her job and what she did next. She takes us through the ups and downs from day one of starting her company to how she built her now 7-figure business. We talk about the sacrifices and risks our black immigrant parents took to provide opportunities for us.

In this episode, Karen shares how we can set ourselves up to not just get by financially but to really create financial wealth as black women in business through home ownership and investments. Despite having bankruptcy on her record, Karen did what others would tell you not to do in order to make her dream work. As black women founders, we traditionally have less access to capital and resources to start our own business. Shifting our mindsets around long term building and going beyond the paycheck positions us to thrive and create sustainable success within our community.
