Olori Swank is a serial entrepreneur, celebrity stylist, fashion designer and she recently became an author with the release of her first book '101: The Blueprint for a Swank Life,' which she describes as a "fashion and lifestyle advice guide that provides tips on style, dating, finance, entrepreneurship and more.
As a celebrity stylist, Olori has worked with notable names such as Keyshia Cole, Tyrese, Teyana Taylor, Lance Gross, Keke Palmer and others. Using the knowledge she gained from styling, she was able to create a successful online store called SwankBlue.com where she sells affordable, high-end fashion. And in true entrepreneurial fashion, when that business took off she launched a workshop series to teach other people how they could build a success e-commerce shop or make a name for themselves in the styling world.
On this episode, Olori talks about how she's been able to build a recognizable personal brand (yup, we talk about that blue hair!), and how she's been able to leverage her passion and skill set into such a well-connected multi-business ecosystem.
