CEO and Founder, Triumphant Transitions, Inc.
Triumphant
Transitions, Inc. was founded on Valentine’s Day 2005 — a day LaTrice
Edwards, CEO and founder, celebrates as the day that signifies God’s
love. Edwards’ business is a nonprofit community service organization
which focuses on self-esteem, and professional image development for
people in transition. A veteran of the fashion industry, she says she
was obligated to create the company.
“I was in corporate retail
for over 10 years. I received my degree in fashion merchandising and
marketing. I’m a freelance makeup artist and I work in television,
film, and print,” says Edwards. “I would say the self-esteem
development came later in my life, as I matured more spiritually [in]
my walk with God. It’s important for everyone to have that type of
solid foundation of who they are and their purpose in life.”
“Triumphant Transitions is really the community service ministry piece
of my makeup artistry business. It’s a matter of giving back and
blessing people with beauty. This company not only helps our clients,
but it also helps as a liaison between the beauty industry and the
social service sector,” she says. “We accomplish this by the volunteers
that are salon sponsors, barbers, manicurists, massage therapists and
beauticians. Not only do we work on the external makeover, but the most
important piece of our program is the internal makeover — providing
life skills, self-esteem development, financial management, parenting
skills and life development.” – adrienne gadling
