Vivian Kaye is the Founder & CEO of KinkyCurlyYaki, a premium textured hair extension brand for Black women that she grew to over $1 million in annual revenue. As a Business Encouragement Coach, Shopify Expert and proven trailblazer in her industry, Vivian’s community loves her humble approach and how she “keeps it real”.
Vivian and I get into her journey and talk about:
- growing up in an immigrant family from Ghana and feeling the pressure to fit into a box but feeling more like a parrellegram
- moving through the workforce and being acknowledged but still fighting the feeling of not being smart enough because she hadn’t graduated from college
- how her sister getting married inspired her first business that was meant to just be a side hustle
- how wanting to have “presentable” hair to be accepted professionally led her to her next business that has turned into a 7 figure business
- the life changing AHA that happened when she crossed the finish line of a race
- how asking herself What Would Chad Do, gets her out of her own way
- how we each shine differently and how shining doesn't take away from anyone else is it creates a space for them to want to step into their own light
