Today we’d like to introduce you to Tye Thompson.
Tye, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
SweetPetiteLatrice was invented in July 2018, although it was contemplated in 2015. I recall being in the midst of an LVN program and I expressed to a good friend of mine that I was ready to quit and pursue a profession in aesthetics. My friend stated something to me that I’ll never forget, “You can’t just quit. You have to finish what you start”. Little did I know, those words were life-changing. I finished the program, worked for three years, relocated to Texas in 2016, and now here I am now launching my beauty brand “SweetPetiteLatrice”.
SweetPetiteLatrice started by first perfecting my craft, learning the in’s and out’s regarding the application of makeup. (brow shaping, contouring, highlighting, etc.) I’m far from perfect. I’m learning new things everyday. As I perfect my craft, I promote myself as well. Whether it’s my makeup artistry or cosmetics.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
SweetPetiteLatrice has definitely not been a smooth road. In the beginning, I struggled with keeping my vision sacred and free from calamity. I presented my brand prematurely and became discouraged and hopeless once I saw the response from people. You definitely have to have tough skin when pursuing entrepreneurship. Stay focus on your goals and maintain a prayer life.
