Tammy Reese: What motivated you to become an entrepreneur?

Betty Ceus: My entrepreneurial journey began very early on at the age of 23. I attribute my entrepreneurial mindset to my Caribbean mother, who wasn’t afraid to step outside of the box.

As a young girl, I’d watched her buy and sell wholesale goods to both local and regional eager buyers. Her courage led me to become confident in myself, and so it was inevitable for me to follow and explore entrepreneurship.

Tammy Reese: How has the experience been for Natural Bunch Kids Hair Care's current partnership & collaboration with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital of Miami?

Betty Ceus: The current partnership & collaboration experience with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital of Miami have been truly rewarding. As more support and awareness are shed on our efforts, Natural Bunch Kids Hair Care will continue to be an additional resource not only for Nicklaus Children’s Hospital but for other hospitals throughout the country.

Tammy Reese: What feedback do you get from the kids and parents?

Betty Ceus: Natural Bunch Kids has the best supporters, we are parent approved and more importantly kids approved.

As we are tagged in `videos, the excitement of each child when receiving their product bunch lets us know we are more than mere bottles, it is an experience and good vibe felt before even putting the products to the test.

Our parents are equally excited, they trust NBK with their children's hair to deliver what is promised.
