Today, The Platinum Mask channel would like to introduce Kellie Seville for a conversation.
Hey! Please explain to the audience what you’re promoting.
My business, The Pink Cactus DFW.
What was the biggest obstacle in your journey and how did you overcome it?
Starting The Pink Cactus DFW was the most challenging thing I have ever done because it’s unknown territory. It takes 100% effort every single day. I am constantly thinking what I can do next and how to stay relevant and present on social media. The business won’t grow itself so there is never a day off. It’s a juggling act and I have had to figure out how to grow The Pink Cactus DFW while still being a mother, wife, and working my original job. I thrive in the hustle and bustle and wouldn’t have it any other way. It is a busy life but I admire myself for taking the leap of faith and creating endless opportunities for my family.
What separates you from similar businesses in the Dallas-Fort Worth area?
I consider myself a food artist. I am a charcuterie specialist and create edible art. Every grazing table/board Is unique to itself. I use basic ingredients and elevate them for a better experience. The things that set me apart from others are. 1. My natural ability to fuse different ingredients to create new and exciting flavor profiles. 2. My passion for food, in general, shines through in my work because I care about the freshness of my product. I have a high standard of food myself so I wouldn’t want to provide anything less than great for my clients. 3. All the jams I use are homemade by my grandma. She creates exotic flavors you probably haven’t tried before. My favorite at the moment is her smokey grilled peach.
Is there anything you wished you would have known earlier in your journey?
I wish I was more educated on the tax side of owning a small business and all the forms/lisences you need.
Do you have any favorite spots in the Dallas-Fort Worth area?
Taverna Rosa, La hechizera, and Salata!
Were there any major challenges due to the covid-19 pandemic? How did you overcome them?
Covid 19 was actually where the business started. My family and I embraced the lock down and grew closer than ever.
Were your friends and family supportive of your mission?
My family is the reason I have accomplished everything I have done so far. I don’t just mean that business wise I mean that in life!
