Welcome to today's amazing episode with Shara McHayle, Co-founder and President at Hoop88Dreams. Shara shares stories of how she started from a young age being an entrepreneur, first by ironing jeans for other people, and then went to make lollipops that she sold at school. We talk about how she helped pioneer the first global statement driven, and street wear clothing. We talk about how when Shara joined PNB Nation she grew the brand from $150,00 to about $2.1 Million, and how they had to go get partnerships so that they could fulfill their orders. We discuss how important it is to own what we create, specifically highlighting bamboo earrings, and how while we love Sex and The City, it was that hoop earrings were originated from hip hop community, and even further back to Africa where they are an identifier of wealth and power and influence. We discuss how messed up it was that 30 years ago the black community would be changing the fashion game, but not getting rewarded for it, but instead having to pay for it. There have been so many things that we as a culture have created but have given away. As Black women, it is so important to be vulnerable and be able to say, "We are not superwoman, we didn't come from Krypton,"

"Let us know our history, so we can be better human beings moving forward," - Shara McHayle
