We had the good fortune of connecting with ShaQwana Evans and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi ShaQwana, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting my business Beauty By Q was my family. I wanted a career that was flexible & allowed me to be a mother. My husband & I have 3 children who are close in age so growing up with babies & a toddler was no joke! They are my reason for continuing to make sure my business succeeds!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am most proud of my resilience. I am excited to continue to learn and evolve. Business wise I always remained a student. Even currently! Never stop learning, never stop receiving knowledge! It definitely was not easy but no matter the challenges keep your faith & stay committed to the goal! The lessons I’ve learned so far is that if you stay consistent you can accomplish your goals. The higher the goal the more difficult the challenges maybe but you can overcome them! I want the world to know that Beauty By Q is my baby! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with embracing your natural hair!! Everyone is beautiful!!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
In my view Tito’s, O’Charleys. Skating, bowling, getting a pedicure and relaxing.
