We had the good fortune of connecting with Lula Goodall and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Lula, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I saw a gap in the quality and level of home health caregivers, its hard to find dedicated team members who are truly passionate about the people they serve. I wanted to do thingss differently and so i started my own Agency during Covid
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Our business name is ZUHRI; a swahili word meaning Beautiful. That is the experience we wish to share with our clients with each encounter. We are a fully insured non-medical home health agency serving the greater part of Houston
The journey has not been easy, what with losing clients unexpectedly at times and knowing your team looks upto you for their income. Its daunting but a very fulfilling role. I believe God placed me in. this position to Impact, Impart and Influence those coming after me.
What sets us apart from other agencies is the emotional support we provide to family members as well, we understand the transition can be tough mentally and emotionally so we endevor to give the support needed and really prrovide quality
C. A .R.E an acronym we belive all our team member should live by ;
Compassionate
Accountable
Responsible
Empathetic
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Spend a lot of my time at the Gite Gallery, Post, and love to discover family friendly restaurants downtown where i can spend time with my family. I recently discovered there’s aa skydiving place in Rosharon which am excited to do sometime soon.
A trip to Galveston is never a bad idea, Houston is vast and having been here only 6 years am still discovering it myself
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My team members that have become family, i wouldnt have a business without their efforts and commitment to go the extra mile for clients. Of course my wonderful husband, Frederick Goodall, all our children and not forgetting my inlaws who who collectively continue to love, support and enourage me on a daily basis!
Special shoutout to my advisors at the Goldman Sachs 10K small business program who pushed through with me during my learning process at HCC, Alief Campus
God sure sends the right people at the right time, couldnt do it without his Grace
