English 2100 Fall 2023:  What Goes Unsaid?

Introductory Post

Hi my name is Kadijah and I am a Finance major here at Baruch. I was born and raised in The Bronx. My parents were born in Gambia which is in west Africa. I am the oldest of four siblings. Growing up in The Bronx has taught me so much. I’ve grown learned how to stand my ground and keep my guard up. In a world where everyone is just trying to meet their goals you have to understand how to put yourself first. Staying away from anything that might get in the way of your success is key. I’ve always loved math since I was a little girl. Math has to do with a lot of critical thinking and trying out different methods on accessing data. I own a small business called “Allure N Galoure” where I provide henna services for events, holidays, or for people who just want to get it done. I promote my work through instagram and TikTok. My henna business has changed the way I view my future. I’ve been introduced to the world of business and I love the idea of satisfying a clients need. Everyday I’m looking for new techniques on how to improve my business and expand my clientele. Being apart of peoples lives is something I plan to do long-term. Whether it’s providing financial help of creating generational wealth, I plan to always stick to be a supportive system to those who come to me and helped them build the life they want.

I chose this image of my business logo because it is my blueprint. I plan to build upon my business and use it to my advantage. In the next few years I hope to grow something more than what I already have. My future is in the hands of this business and my impact on the community will be based of “Allure N Galoure”.
