193: Meet Kesha Watkins: Founder of Black-Owned BPolished Beauty Supply Store

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today in the guest chair we welcome</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Kesha Watkins, a true side hustler! Although she has a successful 13-year career in the Human Resource profession, she is also passionate about entrepreneurship and being her own boss.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Her latest venture, BPolished Beauty Supply offers an array of hair care needs and provides an unparalleled level of beauty experience to customers in Arlington, TX and online. Kesha’s hope in opening BPolished Beauty Supply is to provide representation as an African American Owner in the beauty supply industry and promote entrepreneurship to other women. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prior to opening, Kesha didn’t have any experience in beauty retail, so she decided to work at Sally’s Beauty Supply to learn the ins and out of running a store. She knew she was heading in the right direction because she loved the in-store experience, especially interacting with customers. Only a few months later, she was able to leverage her learnings and open a store that her community loves. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen on</span> <a href= "http://sidehustlepro.co/Podcast"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Apple Podcasts</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8t"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href= "https://soundcloud.com/sidehustlepro"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Soundcloud</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href= "http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/side-hustle-pro"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Stitcher</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, </span></p> <p><strong>This episode is brought to you by:</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.freshbooks.com/pages/sidehustlepro"><strong>FreshBooks</strong></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Try FreshBooks FREE for 30 days.</span> <span
