Houston, TX – The Owner School (TOS), an institution dedicated to supporting Main Street businesses and empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs, is proud to announce Kwam as its official barber. Kwam’s appointment is a celebration of his journey, perseverance, and commitment to the community.
Kwam’s path to entrepreneurship began with humble beginnings, working for others while discovering his passion for cutting hair. As he honed his craft under different barbers, he realized that something was missing—economic stability and the freedom to control his own time and income. This realization fueled his decision to take a leap of faith and start his own barber shop, driven by the desire to create a better future for himself and his children.
“I met Kwam a few years back and was instantly impressed with his ability to develop a barber business focused on placing the community first. He’s not just a barber; he’s a community champion,” said Terrance Edmond, CEO & Founder of The Owner School. “Growing up in Houston, I went to an old-school barber who was the pillar of our community. Kwam embodies that same spirit.”
Kwam’s journey is a testament to his resilience and dedication. While working for others, he often felt discouraged, comparing his productivity to those around him. However, his love for his children and his vision for their future kept him focused on his goals. Reflecting on his experiences, Kwam advises, “Just keep going and don’t be scared to hear a no, because you will hear it. So when you hear that yes, take the opportunity.”
In his role as the official barber of TOS, Kwam continues to embody the spirit of entrepreneurship that TOS fosters. His work is not just about cutting hair; it’s about building relationships and learning from the diverse range of clients he meets each day. These interactions provide him with valuable insights and different perspectives on life, making each day a new challenge and a learning experience.
Kwam also believes in the importance of exploring alternative career paths, emphasizing that college isn’t the only route to success. He hopes to inspire others to pursue opportunities that align with their passions and strengths, encouraging them to embrace challenges and take control of their futures.
