Summary

Are you currently in a job that doesn't align with your passion? Are you wanting to transition into a field you've always envisioned for yourself? Join Monique Rodriguez as she shares the remarkable journey from being a labor and delivery nurse to the CEO of the thriving hair care empire, Mielle Organics. Monique's story is one of passion, persistence, and faith, rooted in the belief that black women can excel not just in front of the camera but as owners of successful businesses. Tragically losing her son became a catalyst for self-reflection, leading Monique to discover her true calling in the beauty industry. From crafting mixtures in her kitchen to facing challenges in the retail space, Monique transparently discusses the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. Her focus on community building, the mantra of "slow and steady wins the race," and her commitment to personal well-being provide invaluable insights for aspiring entrepreneurs.
