Carolyn began living her dream at age 21. She opened her first In-Flight Hair Salon in Maryland, and expanded into Virginia and North Carolina opening a chain of salons.  Carolyn married, and had 2 sons while balancing family and career. Inspired by Madame C. J. Walker, she developed DZIRE Hair Care, to empower generations of African-American women.

Carolyn entered into a partnership to open Jolie’ the Day Spa Cameron Village. Shortly afterward, she was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), which over time causes loss of eyesight.  Carolyn was determined to stay on track. She knew exactly what she was purposed to do with God’s help, guidance and unyielding faith.

In 2016 she founded Insightful Visionaries a 501 (c)3 non-profit, to empower all persons with disabilities. Carolyn was honored by WRAL TV,  as an exceptional woman, community leader and role model impacting lives in 2019.
