What inspired the start of “Mygani LLC “?
Because of my background in graphic design, I knew I wanted to use my creativity to have a positive impact on society. In 2015 I launched our product line featuring custom illustrations of black women with naturally curly hair. Our product line consists of handbags, travel bags, backpacks, yoga mats, and mugs. I want the images on our products to convey a positive message and empower women and girls of color.
What has been the biggest challenge of running a brand like ” Mygani LLC”?
My biggest challenge is being a solo entrepreneur and trying to find the balance between family and growing my business.
How does “Mygani LLC ” impact the community?
Mygani’s mission is to create platforms and products that empower women of color. We have a unique collaboration with a local tv segment to highlight positive stories of black moms and women-owned businesses in the community. Many times we hear the negative stories about the black community, this is a way to make a positive impact on our community.
Can you share the experience that attendees receive yearly at your signature event “Curls and Convo”, why should every woman be in attendance?
Mygani’s signature Curls and Convo annual event is designed to instill the value of self-confidence in women and girls of color regardless of their skin complexion or hair texture. Attendees are able to hear from an expert panel, view hair and headwrap demos, receive a swag bag filled with hair products, lunch, and support local vendors while experiencing the unique connections of women that look like them.
In 2022 the City of Jacksonville proclaimed February 12 Curls and Convo Day.
Where do you hope to see your brand in the next 3-5 years?
In the next 3- 5 years I see Mygani being on a national retail shelf.
What advice do you have for the next generation of entrepreneurs?
My advice is to the next generation of entrepreneurs is to make sure you are taking breaks, asking questions, and getting help. It’s hard to successfully grow your business when you are mentally and physically drained.
What does being “Pretty and Black Owned” mean to you?
Pretty and Black Owned means I am a black woman entrepreneur who is handling her business and taking care of herself.
