hat is your favorite thing about being an entrepreneur? The ability and autonomy to be creative, do what I am passionate about and use my knowledge, talent, and resources to solve people’s problems and make a positive impact on their lives. Who or what inspires you to chase your dreams? God inspires me. The realization of Gods unconditional love for me, abundant grace and blessings empower me to be my best self and maximize all my potential. By knowing who I am, I know that there are no limits to how big I can dream, how much I can accomplish and how many people I can touch with my life. The beauty of life, nature and all of Gods creation most especially my family and friends who have always supported me and the women who have come before me and have been trailblazers like my mom, grandmother, Princess Diana, Michelle Obama, Oprah, Kyrzayda and many more. Why did you decide to start your own business? I started my lifestyle, media and consulting company “Chigi’s World, LLC,” because I wanted the freedom to use various talents, be creative and do all the things I love. In my company, I’m able to serve in different roles as a content creator, stylist, designer, creative director, host, speaker, coach and consultant on life, style, beauty, health, and business.

I also wanted the autonomy to run my own business without having limits to what I could do, how far I could rise, whom to hire, what type of culture I could implement or how much money I could make. My goal has always been to maintain a balanced, healthy, happy, flexible, fun and financially free life. I want to be able to spend more quality time with my family while I still fulfill my purpose of making a positive impact on peoples lives and build up my community.
