🟣 NEW EPISODE: Meet The First Black Woman To Franchise A Hair Salon

Dana White wants every woman to be free when it comes to her hair. She is the founder of Paralee Boyd, a new kind of salon specifically created with textured and curly hair in mind.

Modeling the processes of the automotive industry to increase efficiencies and appointment time, Paralee Boyd offers fast and quality styling and treatments for textured hair, providing women with not just a service, but a lifestyle where haircare is high-quality and efficient. She recently launched the second location in Arlington, Texas with plans to ultimately franchise. She is the first Black woman to do this nationally for a hair salon.

The salon was named for Dana's grandmother, Paralee Boyd.

DEI IS A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT

On the podcast this week: Featured guest Sandy Diaz Haley

On a mission to find her next career opportunity after an unexpected layoff, Sandy (who was born in Lima, Peru and moved to the states when she six years old) began posting job opportunities (and even hosted a happy hour) for women in her network who were looking for their next gig too.

Over time, an authentic, special community of women supporting women began to take shape via a page Sandy created that truly felt like a safe place for so many. Five years later, the growth of the Badass Ladies of DFW continues to be fueled by Sandy's passion and professional commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Link below for this week's episode and her tips on how you and your biz can embrace DEI heading into the new year. She'll also share her journey in building community here in Texas.

🟣 NEW EPISODE: How To Build (And Find!) A Bada$$ Community

Sandy Diaz Haley is passionate about creating a sense of belonging for others, but building a community that would ultimately bring thousands of professional women together wasn't something that was ever on her radar.

On a mission to find her next career opportunity in PR or Communications after an unexpected layoff, Sandy (who was born in Lima, Peru and moved to the states when she six years old) began posting job opportunities (and even hosted a happy hour) for women in her network who were looking for their next gig too. Organically, a special community of women supporting women began to take shape via a page that truly felt like a safe place for many. Five years later, the Badass Ladies of DFW has evolved into a trusted network of women (and men) representing a diverse array of industries and professional levels.

⭐️ In today's episode we discuss:
- why understanding DEI is crucial for your woman-owned business
- the three ingredients every successful community must have
- overcoming the misconceptions people have about you and your career
- the role storytelling plays in building a DEI strategy
- how to find and network with your community

🟣 NEW EPISODE: Building A Creative Business That Lasts

Akellia Stewart is a Dallas native and mom whose passion for creative design, shoes, and art inspired the start of her first business, Customs By AK, nearly 10 years ago.

In 2022, Akellia launched Saving Soles, a nonprofit dedicated to providing fundamental tools to support and inspire children and their future career advancement. School readiness, art, mental health, and of course, sneakers is its focus

REDEFINING LUXURY AND EQUALITY WHEN IT COMES TO CUSTOM SUITING

On the podcast this week, special guest and Alautus Clothing founder Alana Matthews is on a mission to democratize luxury and custom suiting for all women. Alana believes that now is the time for women to have a say in the fit, design and quality of what you put on your body.

🟣 NEW EPISODE: The New Self-Care For Women Is Here

Custom suiting has always been a styling option for men...until today.

A c-suite executive, mother, daughter, friend and founder, Alana Matthews, knows the power of self-confidence and being well-suited. After working for years as a lawyer and executive with the Dallas Stars, Alana recognized that most custom suiting companies only served men. But suiting herself in the morning was always a way for Alana to power her mindset to tackle the day and Alana felt women should have this experience. Alautus was established to fill this void.

⭐️ In today's episode we discuss:

- Introducing professional women to "on demand luxury'
- Why custom suiting is the new self-care
- Transitioning from the c-suite to entrepreneurship
- Proving naysayers wrong in your career when you're young or just getting started
- Navigating being "the only one" working in male-dominated industries
- Three questions to ask yourself when it comes to innovation in your business
- Alana's advice for new entrepreneurs
- The official color for this holiday season
- Sneak peek into what's to come for Alautus

🟣 NEW EPISODE: The Reinvention of Roma

She's back....! After a well-deserve hiatus for our team, Built In Texas is excited to return with our special guest this week, artist Roma Osowo.

A color-loving abstract artist who creates vibrant, joy-filled art to elevate beautiful spaces, Roma was born in the British Virgin Islands and graduated from the Inter American University of Puerto Rico with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in Marketing. She worked in Marketing Management before eventually transitioning to staying at home with her kids to homeschool them. After a twelve year hiatus, Roma returned to her brushes in January of 2017 and a true fire was sparked within her to pursue her first love, which was painting.

BIG THINGS HAPPEN HERE: Roma recently announced her featured 18-piece collection with Target!

⭐️ In today's episode we discuss:
- How to reinvent your professional journey
- Art is both a product and a service, it's important to create and SELL
- Landing big partnerships & collabs (and how you can do it too!)
- How to step out of your comfort zone when it comes to building your network of friends, colleagues and mentors
- Overcoming rejection by knowing where you stand
- Finding your way (and your voice) in Texas
- The next big industry Roma wants to explore

We thought there was no better way to bring the Women's History Month to a close than with our special guest this week, a Dallas-based artist that is changing the game and the Texas art scene with every incredible piece she creates.

Marian Mekhail's mission as an artist is to inspire her audience to use the gifts they’ve been given, live fully in their purpose and to seek beauty in all things, all people and all colors. Her Egyptian heritage influences much of her work, subject matter and creative process.

⭐️ In today's episode we discuss:

- the business of art and being a creative
- protecting yourself, mentally, creatively and legally
- scared money doesn't make money - be strategic
- good things take time, especially the return on your investment
- the role Marian's culture has played in her art and her experiences living in Texas
- the women that inspire Marian personally (and have helped her business grow to the next level)
- Why Beyonce is still Queen (and King)!
