Mia Ray helped me realize the importance of your clients falling in love with you first, before the product. I’m currently working on growing my business, by opening myself up to share what I love, so my future customers can trust me, how we trust Mia’s thoughts on fashion & business. Love her!
This is what Favor looks like ladies and gentlemen 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amen
Mia Ray truly is the blueprint. She doesn’t gatekeep any information. She truly wants everyone to win and we love her for it. She deserves all the good that’s coming her way. I love watching her build her brands from the sidelines and cheering her on. You can’t follow her without being inspired.
From “I don’t know nothing about making a bag” to knowing everything about making a bag, in every sense of the word. Thank you Mia for creating amazing, affordable luxury products.
I got my audience first then introduced the products after. I tried to release the product first without the audience in 2021. No one listened 😅 I posted product photos only, nothing. Psychology is one of my 5 majors so i knew i was wrong, as soon as I posted a single photo of my Face the orders began to flood in. People need a face to go with the product ❤we're human.
“Creating what I wish existed” Mia, that’s a word!!!
Mia Ray is the epitome being a business woman and being a girls girl. She told us to lose $50 a month and the saving/investment that has grown from that has been amazing!!! We Love Mia Ray and Glamaholic products!!
Mia I’m like a proud friend. You’ve literally showed so many of us how to live life within our means but with luxury within a budget. Cheering you on 😢🎉
Waaaaaaaaaiiiiitttttttttt never ran a Facebook ad!?!?!?!? Yeah sis is the goat!
This is my first time hearing from the designer. I know the brand and love the bags. I can see why the brand is so successful. She is relatable, authentic and conscious of what the "Real" everyday women wants. Listening to her makes me want to buy one of her bags today! She is an inspiration!
This is awesome. We love Glamaholic ❤️
I have chills watching this interview. Mia Ray is amazing and deserves everything she has and even more. Thank God for your story Mia.
Detroit girls do it best. I’m a proud fake cousin 😂❤
Love love love this ❤ no there's no stopping ♥️ our clients will not let us stop. If they love you, love your vibe and your products' are great then the clients will NOT let you stop. If I stop for 2 days my people act like its been 2 weeks.
This interview is amazing and inspiring! Love MiaRay! She and Tabitha Brown always encourage others to be themselves and it will pay off.
A Beautiful Balanced Boss... Her Joy, Class, Humility, Articulation exude femininity which gets lost in the driver's seat of being an Feminist Owner Operator, CEO culture... A lot of women are struggling in this "Love" area...they say they know how to turn it (masculine energy) "off" but, clearly don't. Mia impresses me as a "Catch" ... she mentioned that "Heart Break" was one of the many things that had her slow down... obviously I don't know her life behind closed doors but, if her Lover was at fault... what shame...her Lover clearly fumbled "The Bag" and the "Heart in It"... I'm proud of you MIA and you don't know me from a penny on a Walmart parking lot. I am also encouraged that you told your Age... when you take care of yourself, telling your Age tells a story that paints a beautiful picture beyond the numbers! #Salute #MoreSuccess #My2Cents
This my Mental Mentor yall. I always ask what would Mia Ray do 😅. Love you Mia
Absolutely looooooooove Mia!! I literally feel like this is my home girl! So absolutely inspiring! I won’t lie when I’m thinking about marketing for my business, I take a peak at what Glamaholic is up to! Girl if you did a marketing class I’d be first in line! Loved it loved it!
Mia has truly inspired so many people! I can't wait to see what she does next!
With my small business I’m def trying to be at this level of CEO. Run the business behind the scenes. I’ve always been the driving force. The one who does everything but I’m tired lol. I’m ready for a great team behind me. It’s my time to delegate and make A. Marie one of the greatest black modest fashion brands in the world!
Mia is the blueprint and inspiration just being able to see it can be done from the ground up brick by brick
This helped me so much. Thanks so much for sharing
Dream big!!!Thank you so much for this valuable video..i loved the mens skincare line idea.
I love this! This is my first time hearing of you; God bless you and your future endeavors!
I’ve studied Mia Ray for years & truly appreciate everything she does/teaches from a business perspective.
This js my first time hearing about this remarkable woman, and wow! Congratulations, and I relate to your journey and connect with your message of having affordable luxury for the everyday woman who looks like you. I'm her!
What an awesome interview! I never get tired of hearing Mia Ray’s story.
The GOAT. Beyond inspired by Ms. Mia. Not to mention the QUALITY of my Glam-Aholic collection.
There's a delicate balance with supply and demand
I just love her bags and her story! I tell everybody her story when they ask about any bag I have on.. Thank you Mia!!
This is superrrr inspiring. As a current creative entrepreneur (jewelry designer) that isn't making any money (SIGH)... just KEEP GOING. 10 years in the making is an inspiration! I've only been doing this full time for a few months, success doesn't come overnight.
I’ve been following since Tana was in diapers 😂😂I learned so much about entrepreneurship from you years before I started my candle company. It’s helped me take my time and build authentically ❤️
You were truly a blessing and inspiration. God bless you. This was as well and thanks for sharing.
Love her message. Her reason.. love her!!
I absolutely love Mia Ray. She is my mental mentor. A real genuine soul!
