We had the good fortune of connecting with The Hood Doctor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi The Hood, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
I’m a healer. I believe in healing people so much I made a business out of it. Once I seen herbs can heal diseases and illnesses, I felt more than obligated to create The Hood Doctor

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
It was NOT easy to get to where I am today. It took years of hard work and dedication. I’ve always been into graphics and videography as well as photography so I was able to incorporate all of those talents into my profession. Being able to visually attract people to something and then having a life changing message to the artwork is amazing. Tiktok is where I mostly express the creative side of my business. Lessons I’ve learned is that nothing will ever be perfect. No company, brand or business will ever be perfect. Waiting and procrastinating because you want your business to be “perfect” is an excuse. You’re not perfect so your business will never be perfect either. It’s all about trial and error. Put yourself out there and let the people tell you what to change. I want the world to know that I genuinely care about healing people. I’m trying my best to be able to reach every possible person through social media or even by word of mouth, and to spread my message and my goals which is to help and heal.

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.
Honestly Im a tourist even in my hometown. I don’t really go out much because I’m so focused on elevating my brand as well as learning new things. I can always help look up some new places!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The people closest to me have always motivated me and pushed me to continue pursuing The Hood Doctor. My mother was there when I started in my early days. She helped me with inventory, shipping and just motivation. I owe everything to her. Myles was always there for me too. He helped me orders, supplies and just always being there for me when I wanted to give up. And most importantly, God. Without God I wouldn’t even be able to do any of this.
