We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Agie Mbye. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Agie below.
Hi Agie , so happy to have you on the platform and I think our readers are in for a treat because you’ve got such an interesting story and so much insight and wisdom. So, let’s start with a topic that is relevant to everyone, regardless of industry etc. What do you do for self-care and how has it impacted you?
First i would like to say each and every person needs to do self-care. Self-care is not selfish, for me self-care is another way of taking care of myself especially my health and well-being. One of my favorite thing to do during self-care is journaling, it helps me relax and reduce stress. Another Self-care routine i love is having a spa treatment at home. I make my own bath salts and face mask to help soothe my skin and recharge. My Self care routine has a great impact in my life, it helps me live well and improve my physical and mental health.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
My name is Agie Mbye, i am from The Gambia ( West Africa ). I migrated to the United States in 2002 when i was 14 years old to further my education and pursue my dreams. I started making natural skincare products in 2018 in my kitchen, i am a woman that admires the beauty of nature and all the natural ingredients it presents. As a mother of three i am very thrill to name my business after my three beautiful daughters who are the inspiration behind my business.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The three things that matters the most to me are Creative Passion and Self-Discipline 1.CREATIVE-Being creative makes me put my brain to work by connecting things in my head asking myself questions about new possibilities and ideas, sometimes it can be challenging but that’s what makes it great. 2.PASSION- I am so passionate about my business, it makes me happy and feel that connection i have for my business deep down in my heart. It motivates me to go above and beyond for my customers.
3.SELF-DISCIPLINE Is very important to me because i regulate my emotions and focus on the important things and prioritize my goals. I make sure i don’t sabotage myself especially when i know something is hard and i can’t figure it out. I keep pushing my self and always tell myself is okay if you can’t figure things out.
To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?
Oh i just love my parents! I have great and countless memories with them especially the love they show me is unconditional. They made sure i was always happy and taken care of, they are one phone call away and always available when i need them. They don’t live in the United States but i always feel like they are close to me because of the love i get from them. My mom comes and visit time to time and we always have fun.
