Simply Scents Candle Company CEO makes Scents of Entrepreneurship
Vibrant, creative, dedicated, and passionate are not only words that describe Houston-native Shanquita Greggs but they also transcend and embody her products.
Seventeen years ago, Shan started making her candles in her grandmother’s kitchen and sold them out of the trunk of her car to earn extra income. After Sept 11th, losing her job as a flight attendant for United Airlines, catapulted her into entrepreneurship.
“After watching a holiday episode of Martha Stewart,” reminisces Shan. “I decided to take a $467.00 paycheck and invest it in myself. I have the opportunity to do something that I love every day. She has since then turned that $467 into over a quarter million in sales.
Shan credits her entrepreneurial spirit to genetics and her love for math and crafts. She gives credit to the United States Air Force, where she served eight years working with B1 bombers and performed aircraft inspections of F16 and T-38 fighter jets for NASA, In addition to running her business full-time, Shan also is a dedicated community activist, taking a hands-on role with the city’s disabled community, teaching basic job skills and training. Shan is a leader within the Settegast and surrounding Greater Ward communities, firmly believing in giving back.
