Today we’d like to introduce you to Latisha (Miss Pretty Montana) Wright.
Hi Latisha (Miss Pretty Montana), it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My name is Latisha also known as “Pretty Montana”. I was born and raised in Queens New York later moved to the Bronx where I lived most of my life.
Throughout my childhood, I attended mostly performing arts schools so I always had many different visions and just always wanted to be on camera lol.
We were all mostly taught to go to College get a career etc however I did that and wasn’t truly happy with going to my “Career” daily. For many years I was into Party promotions on the side of my job, where I brought people out and got paid. Shortly landing in Modeling.
I mostly modeled in what you guys call Eye Candy Magazines lingerie and some dresses. I was in a few Videos for Rappers & RNB artists as well. Did a few Interviews etc. I was just surrounded with so much talent and meeting so many people.
It was soon I discovered I wanted to be more than just a model. I wanted to be an owner. Lingerie was my first idea. As I had already modeled lingerie I felt why not create my own line and have more to speak on in magazines if I do feature.
So I put it altogether website logo colors set search engines got merchandise from my own personals, got models did photos and just working day in and day out. To become a name and attract sales. I came up with the name “Marie Pearl Lingerie” after My Mom & Grandma as they passed on they were both strong Queens Inspiring and my Biggest Supporters in anything I did.
So I feel like my Business can’t lose ! It’s been growing as it should and I feel it will only grow bigger.
It’s Lingerie Women all over The World will need it for years to come.
I also Started an Event Service called “PM Events Worldwide” where I Offer Numerous Services Far as; pop-up shops, listening parties, 360 rental, business start-up services, and much more.
I also tapped in with Airbnb these days owning or renting a few properties and teaching classes along the way.
I would just say I’m an all-around Business Woman if it makes Sense and Cents I’m on it. I just desire a financially free life and doing whatever I want when I want.
I’m thankful for where I am today and the any who helped & helping me get there.
I plan to grow expand build work smart and help those around me to also grow.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
There are many challenges as being an Entrepreneur. Where do I begin lol?
It’s late nights, it’s early morning, and it’s sacrifices. It’s good days of sales it’s bad days of sales. It’s pushing a Dream that many don’t see. It’s feeling overwhelmed when you’re the owner running all departments in your business.
It’s Emotional when your friends and family don’t support you as you thought they would. It’s costly when you’re coming out of pocket on items needed to run your business.
You go from working 8 hours for me 12 to now 24 hours lol. I get orders all hours of the night within all my businesses.
So just imagine
3 Airbnb booking
7 Lingerie Orders
and 2 people interested in my Party Services who need Dj & Dancers. Also as a Publicist making sure all my clients are together and booked.
Things can get a bit Overwhelming lol however if you want it bad enough you do what’s needed to run your business it’s no time to complain when you’re working on financial freedom.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Well, I’m most known for Modeling in Magazines and Party Promotions.
These days I am a Lingerie Owner of one of the most talked about online Stores (Mariepearllingerie.com).
I also specialize in helping others start businesses and Magazine Features Interviews etc.
I do my own Events or Collaborate with others on many projects with PM Events Worldwide. I love putting together Events.
I am a Publicist to DJ who we will reach the top together.
What sets me apart hmmm well I’m sure there are many like minds however I’m not afraid to go after anything I want. I take risks and I start my own movements. I’m also big on investing in myself. I read much and I soak up all the knowledge needed to run successful businesses.
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
Don’t be afraid to go after what you wanted don’t worry about the negatives they’re a part of the process to becoming successful.
Also, don’t be afraid to learn from others the good and bad of business.
Work smart and don’t think about who supports you just keep pushing forward the support definitely comes.
