Today we’d like to introduce you to Kiara White.
Hi Kiara, 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?
Growing up, I was a big fan of the rapper Trina. I idolized her; she was so classy and bossy. I’d listen to her, and the more I listened, the more she motivated me to get up and motivate others. Besides your appearance, hygiene makes you feel your beauty. Who doesn’t want to smell as good as they look? I launched a natural feminine care line to boost that confidence in women and maintain our PH balance. I named my feminine care line MillionDollarPooch. The name came to me so easy; I carried it over from one of my favorite songs by Trina “MillionDollarGirl.” After launching, I was nervous; I didn’t know what to expect from customers; everyone is different. I started to get feedback and the women were loving my products.
One day my late grandfather came to see me; we were talking about how my business was flowing and how was I going to keep it going? He told me, “well, you gotta keep it going, pretty girl, you can’t just stop here.” I took what he said and I ran with it. I wanted to learn about Brazilian waxing and skincare. I enrolled into an esthetics school to begin my education to add on to my feminine care line. Not only was I helping to maintain the PH on the inside, I can now help beautify the outside. Halfway through school, I actually found my passion in facials more than I did in waxing. My grandfather passed away unexpectedly before I could finish school and tell him about my accomplishments. I could hear his voice telling me that I had to keep going; I couldn’t stop there. So I didn’t. I graduated and began to take clients. My clientele was rising rapidly, faster than I thought. Eventually, I added facials to my roster. Every day I wake up with something new to add that’s going to be beneficial to my clients. This is how I got to where I am today, and I have a long journey ahead of me because “I can’t stop here.”
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has not been a smooth road, but no milestone comes easy; if it did, there’s no celebration behind it because you didn’t work hard to get it. It’s better when you know you had to run through obstacles to get there. The struggles I deal with now is working with no assistant and inventory. I have to take clients throughout the day, respond to emails, keep the spa room stocked and make sure my clients are leaving satisfied. After a long day of working in the spa, I have to count inventory, ship out orders in a timely matter, reorder inventory and update the product site. I have no room for error, but I’m not perfect so there will be error.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m an esthetician and I sell feminine products. I specialize in skin, but I’m known for MillionDollarPooch products. I’m most proud of how far I’ve came in such short time, so I can only imagine where I’d be in the next year or two. I have a unique mind; my imagination is so huge. Things that I come up with surprise me sometimes, people love my ideas & my craft, and that’s what sets me apart from others.
We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
I take risks because if I win, I’ll be happy; if I lose, I’ll be wise. A win or loss is still a win; there is no 50/50 because I have another chance to do it again.
