“I wanted my business to make a difference. I wanted men and women to feel worthy of being loved. I also wanted my business to encourage Black Women and empower them to believe that they are beautiful and also loved.” - Caroline Bryan, Owner.

Caroline enrolled onto the Introduction to Digital Marketing course as the concept of Digital Marketing was new to her and she wanted to delve into the topic in order to further her business.

“The digital marketing course that I attended was really informative and I felt included as a black business owner. I was asked questioned about my business and what I did by the tutor. She even said she would love to see some of the products that I make, which was really encouraging.” — Caroline Bryan, Owner.
