Marie believes Buzzwords and catchphrases go in and out of style, but classic. is a brand that represents "staying power". On the road to entrepreneurial success, Marie has learned many lessons. “It's challenging being a single mom and trying to devote time and attention to your baby and also your baby that is a small business. But I do think it's important, and I’m really excited to show my daughter that even if we are single, we have a lot of support in the community, and we definitely have the power within us to be strong enough to create whatever it is that we want to create. I’m just excited to show her that to build up her own pride for her own culture,” Carter says. Learn how Marie juggles motherhood and a growing brand while #DoingBusinessWhileBlack.
