We’re your hosts Celia and Danielle, long-time friends, entrepreneurs, and #boymoms. Celia is an interior designer and owner of the online concept store Sticki Icki, and Danielle is a social entrepreneur, marketer, photo producer, and owner of a photography production agency.

Episode Highlights/Summary

As part 2 of our conversation with Donyale Walton, CEO of the Black Culture staple, Hoop Mobb, we discuss the many sides of being a mompreneur. We cover the ups and downs of juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship and discuss all of the side hustles Donyale had before starting the Hoop Mobb. Donyale shares her approach to hiring (spoiler alert: she hires lots of Black women!) and how she staffs up to ensure her company is legit. Listen in to learn how she grew Hoop Mobb from $500 of monthly revenue to $1.3M by the end of 2021.

Profile picture for Celia Williamson

Celia Williamson

Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Celia is an interior designer and YouTube creator. Based on her love for period British films and shows, she's convinced she's supposed to be from Victorian-era London, but with cool nail art and internet access. She's always down for a flight deal or an audiobook suggestion and always rooting for everybody Black. Since becoming a mom, she's gotten used to peeing with a tiny audience of 1, and lots more people have seen her boobs. She also wrote this herself, so it's weird it's in the third person.
