Sometimes you run across someone in life and you feel the nudge to reach out and get to know them better. Nicie Andrew is one of those people. We were reading an article on Austin Monthly, 'Black-Owned Businesses to Support in Austin' and saw that her business was featured. The more we learned about her via our Google searches, the more we wanted to meet her. We reached out via Instagram DM, and here we are.
Nicie is 25 years old and is already shaping up to be a serial entrepreneur. In addition to being a 5th grade Math teacher, she is growing two of her own businesses - The Millennial Perspective, which focuses on helping others launch their own online businesses from idea conception to web presence to branding and packaging, and Golden Goddesz, a passion project turned business centering on beautifully made stationary and planners.
Here's a quick overview of our discussion:
