By the end of 2020, I had crossed $100,000 in total sales revenue. January was the first month I made $100,000 in one month. I cried.

It's one of those moments where you feel like all the pain was worth it. I had still only been divorced for 11 months, because it was finalized in February of 2020. It showed me that I was still going to be able to provide for my kids. It was a bright light at the end of this dark tunnel. I felt I had found my"thing." I was never going to stop.

Entrepreneur Ellie Diop used money from her $1,200 stimulus check in 2020 to start her business. Since then it has grown to generate $2million in revenue.I achieved $1 million of revenue at the end of April 2021 and then towards the end of June 2021, I hit $2 million and I have since hit $3 million. I feel fortunate that I have been able to hire help to continue to grow my business.

If you don't come from a family or situation where money and business is talked about, you may go through your life without knowing you can have your own business. I see this as me being able to create access to business ownership and help my community build something to pass down.
