Check Out Datoya Bradley’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Datoya Bradley.

Hi Datoya, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
For The Peapoll LLC began in April 2021. For Mother’s Day 2021, I wanted to give the gift of self-care to the mother figures in my life. While making these gifts, I realized that all people needed self-care. For the Peapoll was born. For the Peapoll because I have a nonprofit, Happy Peapoll, 20% of all proceeds from For the Peapoll goes to Happy Peapoll a mental health awareness nonprofit.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The obstacles definitely come however, they are all learning lessons. Making all-natural handmade products comes with trial and error. Over the two years, ingredients have been changed and measurements as well as adding products/services and removing some as well.

The challenge of running a business in general is a learning process as well. Pricing products as well as labor in being a one-woman show.

Also, the Challenge of working full time, being a mother, being a wife, a family member, etc.
