Representation Matters! If them why not me?!?!

Since selling my 7-11 stores, I have spent a lot of time reflecting and discovering myself again. I know I am an entrepreneur at heart but I also know that retail entrepreneurship in that capacity slightly killed my spirit. Im not saying that I won’t return to franchising and I still have my vending machine business that is thriving, but I know that I love the time I have been spending with my children and I love entertaining. I can thank my two entrepreneur parents for blessing me with that! So why not capitalize on what I love!

So in addition to quite a few other entrepreneur endeavors that I am keeping quiet for now, I wanted to launch my HEY RAE YouTube channel for babies and children. I am hoping to inspire children!

Link is in my bio. Pass it to your friends and family, like and subscribe, repost and let’s see where it takes me! Let me know what you think! Two new episodes will be released weekly.

Thank you to my family and friends who shared in my soft launch of my channel and given me great feedback! Watching your children watching me has been so heartfelt 🥹

So many things to be thankful for on this day of thanks. This is my first holiday season since selling my stores and having a clear mind and not worrying about staff showing up has never felt better. Running a 24/7 365 operation over the years has not been easy for me or my family. A lot of sacrifices were made.

So as I look back on the past Thanksgivings (at work lol), I am thankful for where I was and where I am now.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I saw this pic and immediately got exhausted. As an owner you get upset with people’s stupidity. You playing around gasoline and vehicles. I am so annoyed for this owner.
BUT THANKFUL IT AINT ME ANYMORE 🙌🏾 the amount of peace I get now is just unbelievable.

Happy Stepmom Day to all my fellow amazing bonus moms giving it your all!
I’ve never missed a school event or athletic game. I show up because that’s my baby! ❤️ I get to be the fun parent that gets to spoil him with donuts in the morning and sno cones at school pick up…but he also knows I don’t play that disrespect! He taught me how to be a parent and was honestly my easiest child 🤗 love this kid! And lowkey my side of the family loves him more than me 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

Bonus moms tap in!!

My mama used to have me working the polling places and elections when I was young. It’s been over 6 years since I’ve worked one for but I will only come out of retirement for the one and only 🤗

So Let’s talk about the easiest job I’ve ever had. The people of DeSoto already knew about her and were already voting for her. I didn’t have to convince anyone! Vote Crystal Chism for City Council Place 6!

And I met a pretty good guy along the way who really wants to make a difference and highly qualified for the job of Dallas College District 7. Check out

My first pregnancy, I went back to work 6 days later. In fact, the day I gave birth my night shift didn’t show up and I was in the hospital bed panicking making calls to find a replacement. Never got to mentally or physically rest.

This birth experience felt so much better…well at least the peace of mind part was better lol

But Here I am today, 13 days postpartum, still WORKING!! Wurk Wurk don’t stop!!! Especially not for an entrepreneur! For small business owners there is no maternity leave!

My last child, I breast fed/pumped for an entire year. Pumping in my back office of a gas station. It was so much pressure! I worked 5am to 11am just so I could rush home and bond with my child, pump more and decompress for the day. But here I am this time around nursing every two hours comfortably while working!

If you didn’t know, small business owners are amazing….but women small business owners are superheroes 🦸‍♀️
