Faith over Force

This week, Jamila Powell, multi-hyphenate attorney, owner of Maggie Rose Salon, founder and CEO of Naturally Drenched, discusses how her daughter was the catalyst for her to follow her entrepreneurial spirit and continues to be a motivation as she scales her businesses. Through running her salon, Jamila identified a gap in the market for quality natural hair products specifically formulated for people of color and created Naturally Drenched, a vegan and eco-conscious collection of hair products formulated with all hair textures in mind. As a successful lawyer by weekday, salon owner by weekend, and Natural Hair brand founder by night, Jamila is the epitome of someone that is “never going to slack off on what needs to be done” through working smart and working hard. This year, self-care and grace are Jamila’s themes of 2023 along with “faith over force….there are only so many hours in a day, and if I feel like I can’t get to it, it’s going to be okay.” Beyond her work ethic and faith in herself, Jamila’s authenticity has opened doors for her and the continuous growth of Naturally Drenched. “If you're a genuine person, it's really not even hard to evolve and build genuine relationships with other people.” Follow @naturallydrenched on Instagram or visit https://www.naturallydrenched.com/!
