“The whole concept of the brand is just to be able to feel glamorous but feel comfortable,” says Kiya in the second half of this Feature. Kiya Tomlin, Founder and Owner of “Kiya Tomlin,” shares more advice to business owners such as “don’t be shy about asking questions and be confident.”
She also shares more about the internal battle faced by many entrepreneurs, such as “proving yourself.” Kiya also says that people of color don’t have the option to make mistakes and no access to funding, which holds many entrepreneurs of color back.
