I struggled as a curvy girl to find cute clothes that fit my style. I wanted more and I knew there had to be more stylish options. In 2006, I stepped out on faith and leaped into my passion for fashion to start my first storefront named, Bag It Up Boutique. I used my education and bachelor's degree in Business Administration to become an official business owner. I've learned some valuable lessons taking on this venture with no mentor or training. 2022 represents 16 years of business experience a six-figure nationally known brand and an online presence of over 15,000 supporters across the country and a loyal following of my private social media boutique group I lovingly call my "Dolls" with over 7,000 members. As a wife, mom, daughter, Gigi and business mentor I wear many hats, but I understand the value in paving a way for others to build a successful brand.
