Throughout the month of March, the CAN BE Innovation Center is proud to celebrate Women’s History Month by highlighting its female clients. In this short Q&A, we sat down with one of our incubator tenants, Roxie Scalise from Powder & Ink Permanent Cosmetics and Tattoo Studio, to reflect on her journey and what it means to be a female entrepreneur.
Para quienes quizá no conozcan tu historia, cuéntanos quién eres, a qué te dedicas y por qué te convertiste en emprendedor.
Hi, My name is Roxie and I own Powder & Ink Permanent Cosmetics and Tattoo Studio. I became an entrepreneur to have freedom to pursue my passion. At the time, the Hazleton area didn’t have any permanent makeup artists and I wanted to build that into our community.
¿De qué manera crees que el hecho de ser una mujer emprendedora ha influido en tu forma de enfocar los negocios?
To me, being a female entrepreneur means leading my business with heart and passion. During each session, I try to show my clients what makes them unique and special. This is much more important to me than just looking for a paycheck.
¿Qué consejo darías a las mujeres que quieren emprender y acaban de empezar?
The advice I would give aspiring female entrepreneurs is to go for it! Never stop learning and you’ll never let yourself fail.
¿Podrías recomendarnos a otra mujer empresaria de la zona a la que le compres, a la que admires o a la que te gustaría dar a conocer?
