Sep 17 Moms on the Move - Mimi D

We are so excited to feature the extremely talented Mimi D on MiLOWE MAG today! Christianne and I sat next to her at a networking event recently and became instant fans.

First, tell us your story! We’d love to hear little bit about yourself and your business.

I am a nail artist and hand model from the East Coast. I've lived in LA for 3 years. I got my start polishing my own nails as a stress reliever while working in a live music club. Now I’m living the dream: manicuring stars in Hollywood! I’ve been a wife for 4 years and a mom for almost 1!

How many kids do you have, what ages?

I have one son. He will be one on October 6th

What are your top three recommendations for things to do with kids in LA? The Grove, The CAAM (California African American Museum), a Dodger Game.

How do you network as a parent and a business?

From a business standpoint, most of my networking is done on set. As a freelancer, I end up working with different people almost everyday. As a mom, I’m a member of 4 groups on social media. I’m in one mom group IRL.

Where do you go for inspiration on the web and in real life?

For inspiration on the web, I turn to Instagram. In real life, I’m inspired by all of the murals and graffiti I see when I take Lyfts. With so many different colors, textures, and patterns, it’s easy to draw inspiration from just riding around the city.
