Article by Becky Fillinger, photos provided
It’s another ribbon cutting this Wednesday at 11AM – welcome Shalawn Randall and her store, B‘YOUtique, to the Baker Center!
We spoke to Shalawn about opening a storefront after being online for five years and her fabulous merchandise. Come for the grand opening at 733 Marquette Avenue S, Suite 205, in the Skyway and consider spending a little holiday cash to launch a brand-new downtown business!
Q: You’re working as a full-time business data analyst but are also launching your boutique. What’s your secret to balancing so many goals and obligations?
A: Becky, my strength and balance come from faith and passion. God is the center of my source of strength and motivation, and this is what keeps me going on the days I feel like I can’t. My passion is fueled by the will to inspire confidence in people by expressing themselves through style. Because when you look good you tend to feel good. My customers feel good!
Q: Who is your customer?
A: I like to call my customers ‘Style Mavens’ - and a style maven to me is someone who does not follow fashion trends, but is a trendsetter.
They utilize their style individuality to express their personality and unwavering confidence.
