Monique Rodriguez, the beauty & brains behind the Multi-Million-Dollar Natural Hair Care Company Mielle Organics, started her hair company at 30, motivated by a personal loss of her son. Her drive led her to a creative outlet in creating Mielle's first product. She consistently is beating the odds & making history as the first black woman to secure a non-controlling nine-figure investment with Berkshire Partners. Now, at 40, her partnership with P&G Beauty has taken her hair empire to new heights. But it's not just business prowess that sets her apart—it's her unshakable mindset and faith in God that has made this Midwest Icon living, breathing, black history. In this episode, Sárah Lee, a 22-year-old Gen Z host, interviewer, & entrepreneur talks with Monique about her journey to success for the next generation. Monique shares openly about her twenties, becoming a young RN to a confident CEO, and the highs and lows leading up to the launch of Mielle Organics in her thirties. She gives applicable advice for young people chasing financial freedom and millionaire dreams in their twenties, talking the importance of prayer, mindset, and discipline in building a successful social media presence and dealing with creative burnout. Plus, Monique spills the TEAAAAA on meeting Beyoncé, talking Cecred with her, and even winning B's earrings at Mama Tina's gala!! It's an episode that will motivate you and fill your spirit up with inspiration and real girl talk, reminding us that it is OK to not have it all figured out in your 20s and with hard work, faith, and belief, ANYTHING is possible.
