We had the good fortune of connecting with Courtney Myers and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Courtney, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I love to create things, but the most important thought was how can I help women feel more beautiful and confident about their bodies? When I created Beaded Bae I wanted women to feel secure in their skin no matter their shape or size. It’s about being comfortable and embracing your femininity because it’s just that, yours. When waist beads originated in Africa they symbolized sexuality, beauty, fertility and maturity.
When women wear Beadedbae waist beads they feel gorgeous, free to express themselves, liberated, and confident.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
It may sound cliché, but what separates me from others is “My Heart”
My faith is what keeps me going. I have experienced so much from being in a wheelchair for years in my early 20s , depression, and mental illness. After all of this through extreme dedication and PRAYER I was able to Start my fitness journey, and in return I gained my confidence and strength.
Every thing that I’ve been through fueled my future. I am thankful, that I can create and help people by continuing to move forward and conquer my goals.
Besides Beaded Bae I am proud of “HEALING GIRL SEASON a mini series I created with my best friend Taylisha Clark. (HGS) is an intimate setting curated for learning & discussing what healing represents for you, along with applicable knowledge on how to love yourself & others simultaneously!
Whenever I feel down, I remember how strong and resilient I am!
I am my biggest competition!
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would definitely take them to a very nice delicious brunch, followed by a trip to the art museum. Cycling downtown at night is a vibe. Strolling through Houston hotspots stopping at bars along the way you’re sure to have a good time. We are in Texas where everything is big so expect to be eating a nice big dinner.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First and Forever….My Creator!
I have a heart full of gratitude, and love towards all of my family and friends.
Specifically, my beautiful little sister. She keeps me going.
Lastly, my daily affirmations
“I am Healthy”
“I am Powerful”
“I am beautiful “
“All great things are attracted to me”
