  • Train up a child in the way they should go. Mompreneurship w/ God (Special Guest Ruth Joseph of I am Ruth Joseph)

     Tune in to hear about being a mompreneur with God as your CEO from the perspective of Ruth Joseph of I am Ruth Joseph 

    Ruth Joseph is a wife and mother of four who is a multifaceted entrepreneur from Newark, New Jersey. As a young girl she was influenced with an entrepreneurial spirit as she watched her mother run her own business as a salon owner. Although she was intrigued by the lifestyle, she never thought she could pursue that for herself as she spent her weekends assisting in the salon not realizing that God was preparing her for an unexpected future. 

    Today, Ruth is the owner of Xpress Your Kinks, a private hair salon for natural hair braiding focusing on healthier braiding techniques to promote beautiful natural hair. Since 2013, Xpress Your Kinks has touched hundreds of women from DC to LA and everywhere in between. 

    With a successful business, one might think she has made it right? Wrong, this business was only the beginning. The next part of God’s unexpected plan was that He gave Ruth a passion for women and providing them with a sense of hope for the future. 

    Learning from her own relationships and the hurt and pain caused by them, Ruth is now committed to teaching women how to date with purpose, overcome the guilt and shame of the past, and most importantly build a firm foundation of faith and begin a relationship with God.
