We had the good fortune of connecting with Kimberly Marcilene and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kimberly, do you have some perspective or insight you can share with us on the question of when someone should give up versus when they should keep going?
This is a delicate question and I say this because Lord knows I have had my fair share of trials but through each and every one I became stronger, wiser and more grateful. “To much is given much is required.” Luke 12:48 I promise that is the only thing I could say to myself when I wanted to give up. My mentors would tell me this and it frustrated me because I was sick of the saying. Why not say something more meaningful, but in actuality the meaning was very strong, This term was not derived for everyone. See you think you do not have much compared to others when actuality many others want your life. They want your smile, your laugh, your family, your curves, your facial structure and the gifts God sat upon YOU. So on the days you want to give up say “To much is given, much is required”
I promise this will sustain you.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am the President and CEO of Beautiful Bold Empowering Women. We have been in service 9 years to date. We empower women from the inside out.

I got here in business by taking breaks when my mental and emotional health were not in balance, I got here by connecting with women through my own hardships, I got here in business by not turning anyone away who asked for help. Women are unique, exquisite, sassy, vulnerable and beautifully broken. I stay in business because I am YOU! I am flawed in many ways but I forgive others while also forgiving myself for the short comings.

Was it easy? Hell NO; lol. I will give you my greatest secret. Saying NO will keep YOU in business. I say this because I never said No! I was equipped to handle it all baby, so I thought. I ran myself into the pits and the only person who could pick me up was me. I learned love is also cheering on the side lines, sending a donation, sharing an event, sending a link, etc…I also learned either you sit down when your body tells you or God will sit you down; and you do NOT want that chile.

I want the world to know I believe WOMEN are the most favored of God. Yes he loves the men, Yes, Yes, Yes and so do I, but God favors his daughters hunni. As women we endure and endure and endure and still we RISE. We can recreate ourselves however many times we like, we can change our emotions in the next cool breeze that blows but what we cannot change is the plans designed just for you and me; it was already written. And because I am you my story never ends and my brand never dies.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love me some Houston baby, but I also love a good house gathering. This is normally the itinerary when a loved one visits. Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park in Houston is one of the most remarkable sites to see, Bosscat & Blend Cigar in the Woodlands because the service and ambiance is impeccable. I am a kid at heart so we must hit Andretti Indoor Karting & Games in Katy for virtual reality and karting. I fell in love with art many years ago and became a collector of several profound pieces. I found Sawyer Yard to be an absolute treasure in Houston. So many creatives in one space; especially women. Then back to my home for some good ole Selma, AL catfish & grits, Uno, speed and finally a party at the pool. Rejuvenation is a must so Spa World in Katy deserves a full day of our attention. Oh and do not forget the body scrub mame lol.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Everyone deserves a shout out that I am connected too. No particular individual gets more glory than God and myself hunnie. You have to pat yourself on the back because you got up when you did not want too. After every tear, heartbreak and every NO; I got back up!
