Today we’d like to introduce you to Queen Savage.
Hi Queen , so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I was a shy girl growing up, very smart and loved school. My parents got a divorce when I was 7. Life got hard after that for my mom, we kinda struggled with stability and homelessness.
My mother was a stylist and nail tech so I spent lots of time in a salon. I started doing hair at 16, but just for family and a small hustle. I became a mom at 17 with my first born son. I then graduated from high school and started a small career in fast food. I was management at the age of 19, later had my second child at 22 my daughter. Being a single mom I started to do take my skills and turn them into more of a business to support me in school, as decided I wanted to pursue more a career in nursing, that was in 2019. 2020 was a big year for me I gained a a lot of clientele and had plenty of time to work on my craft. I also worked on my social media presence. Today, things are going as planned my first born son just graduated high school and will be going to the Navy. My daughter is on her way to sophomore year. My next plans are continue blessing crowns with my melanated hands while saving lives and going to Nursing school.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Being a single mom wasn’t easy. It was either work or go to school. I sacrificed my education because we had a very small support system. I was scared of failing so I stayed on the go, working many hours. I spent a lot of time away from my kids working. On my weekends off I tried to plan stuff with them to make up for being away a lot. It was very hard trusting people to watch my kids while I worked. Sometimes I would have to bring them to work with me. I was tough but we made it through.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m known for being a hard worker, being a stylist, and a great mom.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Yes, stay around groups of people with goals, positivity and stablility.
