Meet Maya Portorreal, the mastermind behind Kitten Co., a jewelry brand that has taken the industry by storm. Armed with just $2,000 and the determination to succeed, Maya started her one-woman show in 2019. But with her eye-catching designs and unbeatable prices (ranging from $30 to $250), Kitten Co. quickly became a favorite among jewelry enthusiasts.
In her very first year of business, Maya was able to generate an impressive $250,000 in sales. And with the help of brand ambassador promotions on Instagram and business classes, her sales continued to soar. In 2020, Kitten Co. raked in a whopping $472,000, and despite the challenges of the pandemic, they managed to bring in $350,000 in 2021.
While Maya may have started out as a one-woman team, she’s since added her mom and one remote worker to help with the company. Based out of her apartment in Union, New Jersey, Maya has proven that you don’t need a fancy office or a big team to make it big. With talent, perseverance, and a little bit of luck, anything is possible. So next time you’re in the market for some affordable, yet chic jewelry, look no further than Kitten Co.

I appreciate her honesty about how she made a little money at first and began to grow. I also appreciate that she said she underpriced her product. Her story is a true view of entrepreneurship. She also stated how advertising investing was essential to her success.
@Talulah Jool not sure ofcwhat her budget was. It could have been very small, but it definitely takes creativity and networking with others. Don’t let money stop you from making your dream come true. Get creative
@cassandra young
Yes I 👍

@Talulah Jool it only takes dollars to spend on Facebook. Google and Instagram ads. It takes more time tweaking and adjusting the ads. That’s why people pay for an expert but you can do it yourself. Email campaigns don’t cost much either and if you gather enough emails and have your site ready…people will prepay and then u use that money to make your product and sell/ship.
@cassandra young she started with 2000 dollars which isn’t bad I think 🤔
Maya has a great mindset, attitude and Kitten Co.’s jewelry is gorgeous. Wishing her and her business much continued success.

“$10K/month means…we can finally pay for the subway”– Love this mentality, truly useful at helping prevent yourself from falling into lifestyle inflation.

Means that she does not have to walk everywhere anymore.
Yes! Very true!
I went to high school with her!! Very inspirational very, much needed keep pushing 💪🏾👏🏾 I love seeing woman my age making things happen ❤️
Yes I loved seeing educated classy young black ladies succeeding instead of trying to be IG models and strippers. She is what younger girls should want to be like
@KingsMOmmy124 Idk, many are doing well that started that way. Kim Kardashian is a billionaire, and we all know how her career really got started, lol.
@kingsmommy…where do you hang out? Because I don’t know any Black women trying to be ig models or strippers.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. “You’re not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that’s going to be way more fun to look at everyday”, I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
Do you know that Most people remain poor only because friends and relatives discouraged and advised them against investing and trading forex while the wise ones kept investing and growing higher financially
@LIAN RICHARD Most people don’t invest due to ignorance .
My 12th winning thanks to expert Debra, she’s really the best I’ve made a lot.
