TC: Please introduce yourself and tell us who you are.

KW: My name is Kimberly Watson. I am a wife and mom of two and I own a childcare center and an online boutique. Fashion is my first true love! It took a lot of planning before I launched Kimmie Jean boutique. Now my focus is getting the word out about my boutique and becoming known.

​
TC: Thanks Kimberly for agreeing to share with our audience! So, tell us more about your boutique  Kimmie Jean and how it came to be?

KW: My philosophy behind Kimmie Jean comes from the fact that everyone has been into a store and felt rejected somehow. Whether from race or sex, to the store just didn’t have your style, to items being too expensive or cheap. I wanted to create a space that everyone could shop at.

TC: Yes, I'm sure we have all had at least one of those experiences while shopping. Now, what advice would you give to a fellow entrepreneur who's interested in launching an online boutique? 

KW: My advice for fellow entrepreneurs is like Nike “Just Do It”. I had the business plan for my boutique done in 2014 and didn’t actually launch until November 2019 because of fear. Now I look back at the time wasted. Also, don’t expect friends and family to be your first customers. They may support you, but if you expect it you’ll have your feelings hurt.

TC: Great advice and tips! What do you foresee for your brand in the next five years? 

KW:  In five years I hope to have my brand known and maybe expand to a store front. 

TC: Is there anything else you would like to share with our audience? 
​

KW: Entrepreneurship is a lot of work, but don’t be scared to work towards your dreams. Invest in you and yours!
