Morning Insider Lauren Victory shares a story about women of color not only empowering women of color – but also investing in them.
“I like, you know, going room by room, corner by corner,” said Janeen Harrell piecing through drawings of a client’s home renovation.
The architect and interior designer just moved into her first office. It’s an important step to expand iJ Design Studio.
“The hardest thing about starting my own business is really just trying to handle all of it,” said Harrell who is two years into entrepreneurship.
“I had to put a sign on my website you know, we’re booked for the year. Because we are, we’ve been really, really busy,” she said proud of her success.
Of course that success comes with challenges like the need for a bigger team. “It would be great to hire four people,” said Harrell. “But that’s very, very expensive.”
