HELP ME RESTART MY BUSINESS #LatinaOwned

Hi, I'm Kimberly Estrada and I'm Fundraising for my future.

I'm a 24 year old Latina con puro fuego en el corazón.

I started Lash Renaissance back in 2019 from my parent's home. I decided to go all. the way in & decided to sell everything in my room [BED INCLUDED] so that I could turn my room into my lash palace. I slept on the floor for 2 years because I chose my business over comfort. Fast forward 2 years & 250+ clients later. Lash Renaissance made it to it's first physical location in the heart of Mission Valley......... and then BOOM the impossible happened. I started receiving the unfortunate " My eyelash extensions have all fallen out" 1 day after they got serviced. This happened to the following 25 clients of mine. I fell into the deepest depression. I let this get to my head...... I started RESCHEDULING EVERY SINGLE ONE without attacking the problem. I then proceeded to shut Lash Renaissance down (2021)

The hustle is in me, I was not going to let me shutting my business down define me.

I then decided to pursue real estate. However, the downside is how long the licensing process is & how it is commission based. This is when Instacart came into the picture :)

Yes, I was the one who would go to the grocery store, pick up your groceries & then drop them off at your front door. But, everything comes with a price, right? 1 year into Instacart and the harassing began with men at grocery stores. Id get followed, flirted with, man one time a man placed an order at 9PM for a birthday cake... I needed the money & his instructions read as followed, "knock on the door. & wait for me to open ;) " um FUCK THAT! ...... let's not begin with the things I'd get told while I WAS TRYING TO WORK.

I wasn't going down without a fight. I then began exploring my options .... I work for amazon flex. But...... lashing has always been in the back of my mind.

2023 :) I'm back. I decided to START MY BUSINESS AGAIN!
