 What inspired you to become a CEO?
One of the Key reasons why I was inspired to start my own business. I watched my Dad get hit by a car and the company he had been with for almost 30 years wanted to let him go after coming back to work too soon and stopping the assembly line. I quickly realized that big firms didn't care about it's employees or their employees well being. I no longer was interested in being a number. And i needed to remove the middleman. What has been your most exciting accomplishment to date? Being able to start my business and continue to grow it and grow other businesses Any 2 pieces of advice you would share with emerging CEOs? Don't talk yourself out of your own success, and always bet on you! What is next for you in 2020? Continuing to Grow in the Government Space and continuing to help small business's open up opportunities to grow and increase either bottomline by doing business with the federal government.

Based on a true story, this is a riveting account of a young African American woman practically dropped off to live in the Dominican Republic and Colombia and forced to find her way. Having grown up in the suburbs of Cleveland, OH, she grapples with learning the language, living with a host family, dating, culture shock, racial profiling, and violence. Her time living in Colombia came at a time when the country had just started opening up to tourists. The travel memoir serves as a guide for anyone considering living abroad and is also very informative about the history and culture of black communities in both nations.

My mother was my biggest inspiration to become the CEO of my company. I inherited her strength and work ethic, as she fanned my leadership skills from a toddler to an adult. She always pushed me to become the best and to tackle huge endeavors. I stumbled on the gift of resume writing through past careers. After researching the market, I saw an untapped opportunity to make a difference for my community through resume writing. When my mother passed away from Covid-19 this past April, I was devastated, but knew that I had to continue taking giant steps toward my company’s success to make her proud and to leave a legacy full of purpose.  What inspired you to become a CEO?

I also remember being in middle school here in Philadelphia telling people that I had a clothing line named Renata Wear lol!

Throughout my childhood I felt that my experiences silenced me in many aspects. I didn’t really jump to the occasion to become a speaker and it initially frightened me to be vulnerable and share my story. Every single moment I have is a moment to invest, empower, encourage, uplift, and inspire someone. In being vulnerable and speaking up, I’m imparting some of the most precious gifts I can give which are value and significance.

Sher's life is the inspiration for this story of hip-hop and life in Bronx in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Strong-willed Shelly grows up in the Bronx with her multitude of siblings and hard-working single mom at a time when hip-hop is a street-corner phenomenon. Shelly gathers some friends to organize an all-female crew—a rarity in the male-dominated scene—and they hit the streets as the Mercedes Young Ladies. As the Ladies earn respect on the streets, urban life takes its toll: the girls are faced with drugs, violence and poverty. But Shelly and the girls persevere and find themselves running with the big boys. There isn't a fairy tale ending, and Sher takes pains to give a real sense of the burgeoning hip-hop scene, where the game is fast-paced and often unfair.

Having worked for most of life as part of somebody else’s vision I wanted to build upon my own dream and create something I could be proud of. I would look at the people I would be working for and think I could be investing this time and energy into building my own empire, but always being pulled into the spiral of the responsibility of being a working adult with bills and commitments, would then sabotage those dreams never thinking I could make it happen. Having entrepreneur mentors and muses definitely inspired me to become my own CEO and explore opportunities and take chances on the things that made me feel aligned with my purpose. I think becoming a mother and wanting to create that working/mother/life balance also became a huge motivation for me to finally start my business and become my own boss, whilst still allowing me the ability to be there for my kids and my family as well. It is not an easy feat to achieve and take so much work, sacrifice, wins and losses but if the end result is financial, personal and mental freedom to create your blueprint in this world, the hardships are just par for the course.

My name is Taji De Souza. I am a Radio Personality, Host, Wardrobe Stylist. I am the Executive Producer & Host for "LIVE" with Taji Show, Executive Producer for the Fashion Coffee Virtual Fashion Show, and NYFW Style UP Coordinator. Last but not least, I'm the Host for U-GAME, an adult gaming experience for weddings, birthdays, and corporate events. What makes you a visionary? I am visionary because of my creative senses. I like to think outside the box to keep my audience coming back for more. I do this is by putting myself in my audience's shoes and asking myself "What would I like to see that I have not seen before"? "What would I like to hear that I have not heard before"? "What would I like to do that I have not done before"? I apply this by incorporating fun-filled aspects in my businesses. As a Radio Personality for "LIVE" with Taji, I include questions for my guests that a buyer may want to ask. For example, 'How much is your merchandise? Why do you prefer doing pop up events over online services?' Believe it or not, some entrepreneurs would rather send you to their website before revealing a price point. I engage my guests by presenting fun segments that I am known for, such as "Tap In/Tap Out" and "Shyt Stirring", which includes trending topics. It is all about the approach, personality, knowledge of one's business, and your aura. I think of ways one would be intrigued by a fun and unique point of view. Hosting Adult Game Nights for U-GAME includes my gift of hospitality by providing food, drinks, seating, music, and more. I curated customized games that are played for fun interaction. My customary games have attendees coming back for more, why? Because my games are inexplicably different. People like different. As a Wardrobe Stylist. I am the one that envisions the looks that clients never would have imagined to be placed together. As a stylist, I create a boost to a client's style. It takes time to put a look together to make it not your own, but their own. Colors, themes, and trends play a major part. Share the 3 key steps that helped you bring your vision to life. The three key steps that helped me bring my vision to life are motivation, support, and networking. You cannot excel as an entrepreneur without being motivated, whether self or external. I am motivated through music. Music has been the key to my soul since I came out of the womb. The words of a song and even the beat makes my day better because it is uplifting to me. I can either relate to the words or read into the words for growth. Mary J. Blige, "Just Fine" is a great energy booster. I ain't gon let nothing get in my way! Supporting others is another major key. I honestly believe that we must give support to receive support. Ask yourself as an entrepreneur, 'How can I truly get genuine support If I am not applying it myself?' I attend music showcase events, album release parties, networking events, whether through a personal or general invite. I also go to grand openings, birthday celebrations, fashion shows, and visit Zoom, Instagram, Facebook Lives, and purchase services and/or merchandise from entrepreneurs such as TNT, Pieces of Wisdom, Mad Muzik Cali, She Is E-Magazine and many more. I also ensure to tag guests and businesses associated with the photos I post on my social media pages and ask people to go follow and support other entrepreneurs. Networking, my final key, is considered a blessing to me. You never know who you'll meet that can steer you in the right direction for your business. I have met many CEOs, videographers, photographers, fashion designers, models, makeup artists, hairstylists, music artists, event curators, publicists, managers, and the list goes on. Each has had a significant place in my business growth. What is next for you in 2020? What is next for Taji? More "LIVE" with Taji podcast interviews, Fashion Coffee virtual fashion shows, and U-GAME Adult Game Night Events. This is not limited to Zoom, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube. I will be back in the studio and hosting in-person gaming events when this pandemic is truly under control. Fashion Coffee has been contacted to provide wardrobe styling for a major TV network.
