Empower, Inspire, Motivate -Caribbean Curvy Strong

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Denika Alvarez, founder of Caribbean Curvy Strong, located in Randolph, MA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

At Caribbean Curvy Strong, our clients are females that have started their menses, those who are suffering from Endometriosis, and their families. We also support women of all ages that have been victims of sexual violence.

Tell us about yourself

I was diagnosed with stage four Endometriosis at the age of twelve, and my daughter at eleven. We wanted to give back to others and educate them about this disease, in a way that doctors couldn’t.  I wanted to help other sexual violence survivors (this is part of my story) in different ways. I never found someone to lean on back then. What motivates me is the person who hears my story and advocates for themselves with the doctor; Or the person who finds helpful information on our site which then drives them to seek us out to start their healing. I will always show up and advocate for others.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Having my business and knowing that I have helped at least one person.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Knowing that you can’t help everyone, and as a Non-Profit organization - funding.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Make sure that you are passionate about what you do.
  2. Meet with a business consultant
  3. Have a plan.

Where can people find you and your business?
