This week we sat down with an exclusive interview with the amazing rising brand , RoyaltyByRoots. Their purpose is to advocate holistic health & guide the community to the natural form of healing and provide resources in balancing mental and physical health.

Creating non-toxic products that's beneficial for skin, body, hair, and oral health. Being passionate in holistic studies/health has turned my desired interest/hobby into my very own lifestyle.

Dealing with personal issues affected my self-esteem and caused me to believe a misconception that I was only beautiful with makeup, hair extensions, and exposure clothing.

Growing up, dealing with insecurities from on-going acne and getting no results using commercial products led me to create RoyaltyByRoots. Take a look at our exclusive interview below :

FGM: It’s an honor to sit down with you all . Tell us a little about your brand and how you've come to this vastly successful peek in your career .

Answer: On May 7th, 2017 I decided to take my leap of faith by starting my own business.

I did not know that my DIY intentions would turn to a dream come true.I really didn’t know what I was doing but I knew it was time for a change. I was tired of being unhappy spending majority of my life living for others.

FGM: Who are the clients/what are the projects that you most enjoy working on?

Answer: My clients are anyone that suffers with eczema, psoriasis, roasce, severe acne, skin & body irritations and those who want to be health conscious about what they are putting on and inside body. The projects I enjoy working on is formulating products. I love taking the time to research benefits about different plants/herbs and creating products for certain desires and needs.

FGM: How do you feel you make a difference in the world?

Answer: -By being committed to guiding the world back to natures healing.

FGM: Tell us about a time when you showed determination to continue as an entrepreneur

Answer: I was officially six months in being a entrepreneur. No car. Living with my significant other along with four roommates. No steady income and a college dropout. Started working a 9-5 job to help save up for a car, apartment, needed materials for my business, and herbalist certification. Balancing a full time job with trying to pick my business up was extremely frustrating for me. I was unhappy with the living situation, not having transportation, dealing with lack of support with my business and confused on what I truly wanted in life. No matter how frustrating it got, I had to keep going no matter what. Four months later, reliable transportation became available, my significant other and I got our own apartment, and my business began to pick up. I then took another leap of faith by trusting I will be fully supported working my business only. Letting go of that 9-5 job and truly being happy. I developed a plan by increasing my knowledge about holistic health and being more active in networking/vendor events.

FGM: How did you acquire the ability to work under pressure to beat meet deadlines as a entrepreneur ?

Answer: By balancing my mental health. Being on this journey taught me that every thought is a manifestation. A Lot of times we take our blessings in disguise for granted.
