When I was growing up in Yazoo City MS, I always knew I would be a business owner. My grandmother had a women-owned business that was started in the '20s and for an African American during that time it was rare. She would have me in her office answering phones and interacting with families who would come in for funeral services. This helped me to realize that a business was more than making money it's about the impact on the people who surround you. You see by her example she gave hope and provided employment opportunities to those who would not have been afforded great pay, benefits, and representation in a field that was dominated by men at that time.

Prepped Place is a home services company, we provide cleaning, maintenance, design, and moving. We touch alot of lives. The goal is to create an experience when our clients return home. In this busy world, we take one thing off of our client's plates. I find joy in making things beautiful, organized and most of all we create comfort.

Prepped Place is woman-owned and as the owner, I take the same approach to our staffing. We are a family. My goal is to continue to create opportunities. In our field, most are underpaid and overworked. We create a work environment so that the many single moms are home by 4 PM to pick up their children and prepare dinner. We pay more than average, and we get involved with our teams.

I want to continue the legacy by taking everything that has been afforded to me and creating leaders. I want this business to set a new standard in our industry, not only providing create customer service but a superior workplace.
