What do you attribute your success to?
I believe it was my early experiences in life. I take a lot of the things that I've been through and that's what I teach young ladies through Queens and Training about how to get through those things. Let's talk about foster care, growing up in foster care, having an adoptive parent, knowing that my mother was raped and molested and that's how we ended up in foster care. I ended up in a very abusive marriage where my husband beat me for 6 years, and I ended up homeless. Those experiences helped me really shape who I became. For people to look at me and say, Chariel, it's okay to not be okay, but it's also okay to get up and keep moving. I would attribute it to good friends with good advice. My mother, anytime I got down, would say get up girl, hold your head up, come on, we're doing better than this. Even when I had to call her one night after my husband had beat me, she looked at me and said, Chariel, I understand this is your marriage, but that's your life, and you decide which one is more important. Those life lessons really helped shape me because when I used to hide those experiences, now I'm able to share them and help other women come through their lives based off my own experiences.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received came from my mother, who reminded me, “This is your marriage, but that’s your life. You decide which one is more important.” I also credit having good friends who offer honest, thoughtful guidance throughout my journey.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I actually wrote a book called Women in Entrepreneurship, How Do We Beat the Odds, because I wanted them to understand the frame of mind that you have to have first before you think about going into any type of business. A lot of times we go into it thinking money, financial, but we don't go into it with the mental aspect of what this can do for us long-term and other people that our business is affected by. I would just tell them to understand the mental capacity first of what you're getting into. Understand that you're gonna lose some people along the way because everybody's not gonna see your vision or want to be a part of it, and it's not personal. Just understand that you're providing a service or a product that is needed, and so people will support you, so don't ever give up and don't stop. Keep moving and keep putting yourself in the right spaces and the right places to meet the right people that can take you where you need to go.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges—and opportunities—in my field is giving women a voice, creating and sustaining spaces where their experiences can be heard and amplified. Entrepreneurship also demands mental readiness and resilience, which is essential for navigating both personal and professional challenges.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Family values are most important to me because I grew up adopted, and I'm so grateful that I got an adopted parent that really understood what it meant to put good old-fashioned values in you, things that she was raised with that made her productive, made her children productive, and that made us productive. She believed in respect, she believed in accountability, she believed in education. She believed in coming together as a family and respecting one another and understanding the family structure. She believed in us knowing who we were, because she was born in 1929 and was there during Jim Crow and civil rights. She wanted us to understand who we were, not just as individuals, but as Black individuals, and what we came up with, and how we honor what our ancestors went through to make ways for who we can become now. She believed in just being respectful, and she was a minister, so she taught us a lot of the Bible. I'm not religious, but I am spiritual, and that kind of grounds me, just having something to say that I need to do the right thing in life.
