Today we’d like to introduce you to Uniqua Smith.
Hi Uniqua, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Born and raised in Miami with proud Haitian heritage, entrepreneurship has always been a part of who I am. I started my first business in middle school, and by high school, I was running multiple ventures constantly experimenting, learning, and evolving. That journey eventually led me to my true niche: building powerful, purpose-driven brands.
Today, I lead Vanguard Capital Co. and Uniqua Smith Co., two dynamic companies rooted in financial literacy, personal branding, and corporate identity. My mission is to help individuals and businesses elevate their presence with clarity, confidence, and unforgettable impact.
Coming from a family of entrepreneurs and career-driven individuals, focus and ambition were second nature. But even more than that, my center has always been God. My faith fuels my purpose, decisions, and vision.
Now, I’m preparing to launch The Esthetics Vault (TEV) a visionary networking and tech-centered event grounded in Transformation, Enlightenment, and Vision. TEV is designed for professionals, creatives, and visionaries who are ready to unlock their next level through authentic connection and branding clarity.
I’ve never been one to take orders—I was born to lead, innovate, and build legacy. Every step I take is about moving with intention and empowering others to do the same.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The journey hasn’t always been smooth. There were moments I quit, started over, and rebranded again and again until my vision finally aligned with my true identity and resonated deeply with both me and God. While my finances have fluctuated at times, one thing has remained constant: the unwavering support of my clients.

If there’s one thing I want readers to know, it’s this:
You don’t have to choose between looking polished and being profitable we help you build both.
How do you think about happiness?

It’s more than just business it feels like a renewal of spirit, a powerful shift in identity and confidence. I have changed women confidence and changed how people see business it’s a gift .
