Today we’d like to introduce you to Jalesia Saulter.
Hi Jalesia, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I started out doing research on how to make my daughter a tutu for her birthday. I didn’t really have the funds to get her something made at the time so I decided to try it myself. It wasn’t that great in hindsight lol but that one tutu started something I still can’t fathom.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Of course it has *in the most sarcastic voice ever* lol. It’s been hard but very very rewarding. If I had to do it all over again in the exact same way I would. The only thing I would do differently is researching more resources and business essentials.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a clothing designer who makes custom items for all kinds of special occasions. I’m known for being very creative in all aspects. I’m also a licensed bartender and known for my mixology skills as well. I’m most proud of my ability to pick up a skill and make it my own. To be able to pivot depending on what’s trending at the moment. I believe what sets me apart the most is my personality. I try to pour it into every outfit and drink I create.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
I would love to mention my daughter’s father who was tragically murdered in 2015. I don’t want to make it sad or to overshadow the interview, I just would love to honor him. That situation is truthfully the beginning of being where/who I am today.
