Conversations with the Inspiring Christina Rodriguez

Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Rodriguez.

Christina, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I started out as a Makeup artist. From there, I started teaching the trade of makeup artistry to other women. I taught cosmetologist and beauty lovers marketing and branding courses that I designed myself. I was then contacted by the Small business Development Center who reached out to me about teaching a marketing class for small businesses. Since teaching is my passion I agreed and taught a class on Social Media and the impact it can make on a small business. From that day, two business owners, one owning a franchise of Mexican ice cream called La Michoacana asked if they could hire me to handle their social media accounts. What was a side hustle while I taught the trade of makeup artistry turned into what is now a full digital Agency.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? Any advice for other women, particularly young women who are just starting their journey?
I would tell any woman starting on her journey to never give up and always believe in yourself.

For good reason, society often focuses more on the problems rather than the opportunities that exist, because the problems need to be solved. However, we’d probably also benefit from looking for and recognizing the opportunities that women are better positioned to capitalize on. Have you discovered such opportunities?
I believe because of the world wide web that there are many more opportunities for women. It’s not like ten years ago. The gatekeepers no longer exist. The digital world is open to all who do and make it happen.
