Today in the guest chair, we have Aphra McCrea, the Founder of Aloe Blaque, a hair, skin, and body product for women of color.
Aloe Blaque, formerly known as Arhpahair was founded in March 2018 in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, and has grown to be one of the top hair and skin retailers in the industry.
As a creative entrepreneur, Aphra was able to formulate a fantastic avocado and deep honey conditioner, and her customers loved it. In less than one year, and since then, Aloe Blaque has expanded immensely.
In this episode, Aphra encourages creative entrepreneurs by letting them know that anything you want, that it's worth it. On today's episode, we learned about how to grow your Instagram following organically, how to get customer feedback when they use your product, and how to start an online business.
As a Mom, wife, and small business owner, Aphra shares her work-life balance tips and techniques by giving listeners a glimpse in the day of a creative entrepreneur.
