We had the good fortune of connecting with Marquita Deloach and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Marquita, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
As content creators outsiders assume that a lot of the items we promote are gifted to us. This is not the case, and starting out we purchase our own items with our own money in an effort to get noticed by that brand. You send a lot of money trying to build the recognition that most seek. That is why I choose to promote everything from the high-end to the lower-cost points. I don’t ever want my followers to feel like I don’t relate to all people.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I try to stand out as a woman who works in corporate America. I am a woman of a certain age, but love fashion. I want my followers to realize you can be stylish in the workplace. The day of having to wear a business suit to work every day is over. There has been such a push for women to dress a certain way because of their age. I want to dismantle that whole theory. My goal is to show women you can be stylish in your own way in an office setting. Two I want women to wear what makes them feel good regardless of their age. Lastly, I want women to know you don’t have to break the bank with fashion. There are so many great price ranges, Spend your money wisely.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Dallas has so much to offer. I think a one-stop shop is Legacy West. Kyle Warren Park just to people-watch. There are some great art galleries, bars and restaurants.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My tribe has always been a source of encouragement. Fashion has always been a passion for me. In some form, they have always pushed for me to make my presence known in this industry. They saw the voice in me that I at times didn’t necessarily hear. So as I got older and felt that this was a young person’s area, they showed me that I have a voice for a certain demographic and age range.
