I'm Carteka Mealer, and I'm here to share my journey with you – a journey that's been filled with ups and downs, just like many of yours.
My mission? To help other incredible women discover the magic of their wardrobes in building million-dollar brands. My fashion wisdom has been cultivated through years of experience - from my grandmothers' timeless styles to over two decades in the modeling world, and finally, by running my very own fashion boutique. Four short years ago, I was a single mom to three amazing kids, and then, out of the blue, I became a grandmother to a beautiful baby boy.
Life had its twists and turns, and things were far from easy. I had to make some tough choices, like selling my house and moving in with my parents, all in the name of expanding my business. Every last penny, from my home sale, savings, and retirement, went into transforming my boutique into a brick-and-mortar reality. It was quite the gamble. And then, COVID came along, forcing me to close the doors of my boutique. I lost my job once again. I had to rebuild, and I did it with resilience. I moved my family into our own place, but then, lightning struck twice, and I lost my job again. My savings dwindled to just $500, and I was back to square one. Here’s the kicker: I didn't give up. I used my passion for fashion to keep my spirits high, always believing in attracting abundance.
