“As seen in my video, my workplace is in nice want of a makeover! After I based Soulteria in 2019, I poured my complete life financial savings into my enterprise and didn’t have many sources left for my workplace house. By way of a mix of thrifting and upcycling, I’ve gotten my workplace space to the place it’s right this moment.
Over the previous few years, along with dealing with the worldwide well being pandemic attributable to COVID-19, I’ve needed to face many private life challenges, which started with my well being and finally culminated in a pending medical separation from my profession in the US Navy. Though throughout this I discovered a brand new outlook on life and my enterprise, I’ve not been in a position to do the identical for my workspace.
I consider Soulteria is deserving of this makeover as a result of it’s a illustration of all of the obstacles I’ve needed to face to get right here. From being raised in a house with a sugar father or mother, to immigrating to the US with no cash and no plan.
Soulteria is a cumulation of all of the destruction and negativity I’ve lived by and a dedication to depart this earth higher than I got here into it.
I’d love an workplace that actually represents the work Soulteria is doing for younger ladies, our group, and the planet with group, storage, and instruments wanted to assist us improve our high quality of life on this house in addition to productiveness and elegance.”
