Meet Trailblazer Akilla Morris

Today we’d like to introduce you to Akilla Morris.

Akilla, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
My mother was always big on aromatherapy. In a way, I suppose it rubbed off on me. I started getting serious about what I was putting on my body. There are so many ingredients that most people can’t even pronounce in skin care products. I wanted to create something that was 100% natural and safe for everyone. My line doesn’t cater to a specific race or gender. Sweetooth Boutique has something for everyone because why shouldn’t we all have healthy and glowing skin?!

Has it been a smooth road?
The road has not been an easy one. I’ve worked in hospitality for the last 14 years, so the initial walk away was difficult. Working in the same industry for so long makes you complacent. I reached a point where I wanted more from my life and I needed to rip off the band-aid, so to speak. That was the biggest struggle, stepping out on my faith and belief that everything will work out. It’s since been the best decision I’ve made.

We’d love to hear more about Sweetooth Boutique.
I specialize in body products that are 100% natural. Too often, we purchase products with ingredients that we cannot even pronounce. You should know exactly what is being applied to your skin! I am developing new scents that coincide with the season. Currently, I’m working on botanical candles and candle melts. It has always been a passion of mine and it brings joy to me to execute them perfectly and spread that happiness around.

Which women have inspired you in your life?
My mother has definitely been a huge inspiration to me. Aside from having me while in nursing school, she raised four kids while achieving her goals. She has shown and taught me compassion, wisdom, and strength. My sisters have also inspired me to greatness. Both have endured great pain and have risen above it. I owe my strength to them and I am very grateful.

    I purchased her products and they are amazing. They arrived to my home in Indianapolis in a timely fashion. I vouch for this brand 100%. I strongly recommend you to try these products. They are great for small gifts as well.
