Do you feel stuck in PARK and would do anything to get and STAY in DRIVE? What if I told you the key to making that shift has nothing to do with external factors - but rather - the key is INTERNAL...it's all YOU and your mindset?!

Her styles have been featured on stars such as Ava Duvernay, Issa Rae, Will Smith, Jill Scott, Terrence Howard, Anthony Anderson, Nicole Ari Parker, Kim Coles Kimberly Elise...and more! 

Felicia takes us through the early days of her career from transitioning from corporate to entreprenuership and building her stylist career. She talks how she got the courage to JUMP and go after her desire to be successful and see where her talents and hard work could take her. Felicia also shares the challenges she faced along her journey and how she was able to overcome and navigate past them.
