What you put in – is what you put out. Are you making a way with what you have? Are you letting adversity make you feel like there is no hope for things turning around?

We chat with Starr Dawkins – entrepreneur, entertainer, and CEO of Sweet Cookies Wash – an all natural feminine wash and vaginal product line – about how she learned to create opportunities, keep going despite hurdles she faced and why she stopped holding herself back and started living fearlessly. She talks her journey from launching a sex blog in college to collaborating with a local comedian on projects that helped her grow her audience to then diving into entrepreneurship and launching her own product line. Recently, her strategically created Nicki Minaj impersonation video was even reposted by Nicki Minaj herself – serving as a catalyst for more opportunities. Starr is the definition of a hustler – a dream driver who sees the world as possibility and is willing to do what it takes to succeed – even if there are naysayers who may not agree with her direction.

SOME OF THE THINGS WE DISCUSS:
– College as a dreamkiller
