We had the good fortune of connecting with Teresa Kelley-Harris and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Teresa, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?

I was born into a Legacy of entrepreneurs.

raised by a single mother I grew up knowing business. My mother and maternal grandmother are both business owners. At a very young age I worked with a lot business owners in my family (Decorating,Administrative Assistant, Floral Design, Hairdressers, Second hand Resale, Custom Creations, Balloon Design, Etc. ) It’s what was embedded in me to be my own boss very young. I love to create with my hands, so why not make it a business just like my family.

Watching my family run multiple successful businesses always inspired me to have my own business one day.

They taught me having your own was important in a black community household.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?

What sets me apart from other professionals is my quality.I strive to give my clients the best of me.

My Business motto is Unlock your kreativity.
When Xtremely Krafted Kreation comes to create I want you to feel the entire experience of unlocking your vision and bringing it to life.

I’m still overcoming lots of obstacles and challenges, but I’m determined to be successful.

Lesson I’ve learned is life will throw you curveballs to make you quit but never give up on your dreams and goals cause that purpose could be someone else saving grace.

“We are OVERCOMERS of our testimonies! “

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
