Badass Boss Lady
ELLIANA: AUGUST
I like to consider myself a badass boss lady. Daily, I don strappy
stilettos, deep-V necks, and attire that clings to my curves in the most
sensual fashion possible. I live for strong coffee, creating the perfect piece
of jewelry, and wearing the most exquisite shade of red satin lipstick that
won’t smudge.
As a thirty-year-old African American woman standing at a height of
five foot and a quarter inch—yes, I fucking count that quarter inch—and
growing up in the lowest income part of an affluent D.C. suburb, I can’t
afford to project anything less than purpose and strength.
Even if inside, I’m a hot mess. I can be boiling over with stress and selfdoubt, and early on, I often was. But that’s what crying jags in the shower
are for.
Thankfully, those happen less frequently now.
I’ve had a lifetime of others doubting me. Even actively trying to
discourage me. Those people are the reason that I never let anyone see me
sweat. They’re why I hold my head high and dare the world to
underestimate me. Elliana Destiny Pinkerton isn’t one to back down.
I learned a long time ago to go big or go home.
Was it scary to pool my limited resources and apply for a loan to begin
an online jewelry business? Sure. Especially since I’d attempted it back
during college sans loan and failed miserably.
I tried again anyway, though. Even if I had to panic-sweat my way
through the loan paperwork. Then, I poured money into ads so people
would know that my designs existed. That proved just as scary. Risky, too.
Could’ve even drowned my fledgling startup before it ever got off the
ground. I knew the odds were against me.
But despite those odds, my business didn’t tank. Taking such huge risks
grabbed the attention I needed it to. Better, it worked so well that I had tons
of orders pouring in. Enough to erase all my debt. Enough to require a
brick-and-mortar store to meet all the demand. Cornering a rather unique
niche of the market probably increased my chances, as well.
There are lots of jewelry stores out there. And a few that, like mine,
specialize in piercings. But I cater to a more… let’s say, unconventional
crowd.
People who not only like pierced ears but bolts through their eyebrows,
cheeks, noses, lips, and/or tongues. Those who seek out bellybutton
piercings. Nipple piercings. Even Prince Alberts—yeah, a peen ring—and
VCHs or vertical clitoral hood piercings.
Can’t find most of that at Wal-Mart.
Maybe because I’ve narrowed my audience down to such a tiny sliver
of the jewelry buying public, it’s proved to be profitable. Like, way
profitable. And that’s just with a bachelor’s in business admin rather than
some pricy Ivy League MBA. Not that such a degree might not have been
advantageous, but it wound up being unnecessary.
Something else unnecessary? The amount of shitty advice I received
from those who knew nothing about the area I was attempting to succeed in.
Most of it along similar lines.
