Meet Ashley Aleman | Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashley Aleman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ashley, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My own thought process behind starting my own business is i just really love makeup and I want to have my own brand to be able to create a legacy for myself and my family. I really want to inspire people all across the world to follow their passions, dreams and goals. I want to be an inspiration for people. I love doing what i love and I’m passionate about it (:

What should our readers know about your business?
What sets me apart from other businesses is that I make my own lipglosses by hand, they are vegan and cruelty free. I also don’t have my business for myself but for others to be inspired by it. What I am most excited/proud about is having people interview me , articles coming our for my business , soon going to be coming out with new products , and also people telling me they are inspired by me which makes me truly happy and helps me to keep on going when I feel like giving up. I am here today because I always believed in my vision , always working to what I want , being dedicated and always learning new things about the business. It definitely not easy at all, you’re going to feel like giving up. It’s allot of pressure on having a business and keeping up with everything. You won’t have sells some days maybe even months. What I learned is to never give up on your dream your investing to even if you don’t see your desired results right away. Just keep going and keep on believing in your self. I made my brand back in 2021 in may after collage. I was really sad and depressed and didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life , so I just decided to open up a business from scratch. I started small and just worked my way up.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my bestfriend was in the area we would go to a rooftop bar in la/bar , then go to a music studio , club and cruise around the outlooks in Hollywood! These are fun activities to do in Los Angeles !

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The people I want to give a shoutout to is my family and real friends who are always there for me when I need them. Every time I doubted myself or be hard on myself, they always lifted me up and gave me words of encouragement. They help pulled me out a dark place when I needed it the most and will always love them and be so thankful for that! I give a special shoutout to them.
