Q. Can you tell us a little about your company (name, what you offer, when established, etc)? 
A.My company is TwiZted Divas Boutique, we crochet and make hand painted jewelry and accessories. I've always crocheted and draw as a hobby, after losing my job a yr ago I decided i could make money doing it. So I launched an online store 2/2013



Q. What was your inspiration behind starting the brand and for each design? 
A. My inspiration stems from my love of art and fashion. I love the creativity, originality and the boldness of others. I love doing things outside the box, so a person, place or thing can spark an idea.

Q. What distinguishes Twisted Divas from other brands?
A. What distinguishes TwiZted Divas from other brands is there isn't a specific target area of customers. What's available now is for the ladies. We're currently working on baby items, men items, apparel and the list goes on. Everyone can be bold, my goal is to have a wide variety of what we have to offer.



Q. What challenges have you faced with starting the line? 
A. Challenges faced are things such as the financial aspects that come with starting up a business and balancing it with everything else going on in my life. 
What personal goals would you like to accomplish with your business? TwiZted Divas Boutique is my baby, I would like to be successful and keep growing as an entrepreneur, I'm learning new things everyday. 

Q. Do you have any advice that you would offer to an aspiring entrepreneur? 
A. Patience is a virtue, it can be frustrating at times. Stay motivated and determined if its what YOU want to do. Don't start something you don't intend to finish, and remain positive. Go for it.

Q. And finally, how do we get our hands on Twisted Divas? 
A. Go to www.twizteddivasboutique.com (I am currently moving everything from the Etsy store to the website) Facebook: Twizted-Divas-Boutique, Instagram: twizteddivas

Also fellow Naturlista! 

Q. Why did you decide to go natural? 
A. I decided to go natural because I got sick and tired of my hair being unhealthy from the chemical dependency of perms, it was growing past shoulder length and I could never get it to be thicker. So I chose to join the natural hair movement like so many others and I talked 2/3 daughters to do the same. 

Q. How long have you been natural? Did you transition or did you big chop? 
A. I am transitioning to being natural and have been natural since April 2012.

Q. What has been the most rewarding part of your natural hair journey? 
A. The most rewarding part of going natural is even though its more work than I initially thought, I've noticed how much my hair has grown and how fast and thick it is.Love it. I get excited doing the length checks. 

Q. Has anything been a challenge on your journey? 
A. My personal challenge has been trying to figure out which products work better on my hair and stick with it. I don't like buying alot of different products just to try them.
