- Chosen to Empower, Glenisha Thomas
Glenisha Thomas, CEO & Founder of PrettyPonytails and the author of “Discovering the Pretty Within” stopped by our studio. As a child, Glenisha struggled with low-esteem and self-confidence. She is a woman of faith who has been on a journey of self-discovery in her adulthood. During this journey, the why behind her passion for helping young girls was revealed and her purpose was exposed!
After experiencing homelessness from 2018-2019, Glenisha gained the strength, faith and tenacity to go after what has always been inside of her. With God, her husband and children, as motivating fuel, Glenisha launched Prettyponytails in 2019. PrettyPonytail's impact and success has garnered connections in North Carolina and across the nation. With each connection that Prettyponytail's is fortunate to make, the mission of boosting the self-esteem and confidence of young girls will continue locally, nationally and eventually the world!
