Please tell us about your nonprofit.
Tahirah: Creative Impulse’s purpose is to provide fitness and dance education and training through various classes for young girls and boys. The dance company’s goal is to offer free training for qualified dancers, to perform and compete at competitions, in order to receive exposure for dance scholarships and other opportunities. Our programs include dance intensives, which allows our dancers to bond and build relationships with people they can trust, field trips to professional dance performances to promote culture, and fundraising to support the arts and other nonprofit organizations. At times, we may provide internships or volunteer opportunities in said activities and programs in order to promote and encourage art education and the importance of physical health.
Do you consider yourself a serial entrepreneur?
Tahirah: Absolutely. All successful entrepreneurs have multiple streams of income. I’m at a phase where I’m planting my seeds. I look forward to the moment when I’m able to watch them grow.
What can you tell us about some of your other business endeavors.
Tahirah: In addtion to being the owner of Creative Impulse Dance Company, I am the co owner and co-founder of T2 Boutique, T2 Investments and Private Party Igloo.
T2 Boutique specializes in exclusive pieces, personal styling, shopping parties, on the go vending events and hosting pop up shops. T2 Investments is a real estate team that has successfully flipped homes in Baltimore City and is now redirecting their focus to Airbnbs and housing traveling nurses. Private Party Igloo, which launched earlier this year, is my most recent business venture. It’s a private, customizable social experience set up in an igloo or tent.
Do you believe in work- life balance? If so, how do you maintain it?
Tahirah: Work-Life balance is extremely important to me. I’m a firm believer in ‘work hard, play harder’. Knowing how to be productive, but maintaining balance between family time, self care and a social life is essential. I’m ok with telling someone no if it means I won’t miss important family time. I start filling my calendar with work and family, and any other free days I have, get filled with fun and me time.
