“Wow! “What a huge honor it will
be to drive down Portland’s streets in a
Pink Cadillac,” Minister Kim Meyers
excitedly exclaimed, as she once again
plans on taking the legendary trophy-
on-wheels for a spin.
Courtesy of Mary Kay, Inc., the
national cosmetic company, Minister
Kim will have use of the car as a re-
ward in recognition of her major suc-
cess as an independent consultant for
the company in the skincare and beauty
industry, a profession the local African
American resident has nurtured over
the past 20 years and a prize she has
won six times before!
Kim and her team of consultants
are credited with grossing over $4.1
million in retail sales due to their hard
work and consistent drive. She is cur-
rently a Senior Sales Director with
by
Kim Meyers
May Kay with great aspirations to ob-
tain the highest position in the compa-
ny, National Sales Director.
Born and raised in the Bronx of
New York, Meyers grew up in a ‘sin-
gle mom’ household with a Christ-cen-
tered upbringing. She says her mother
instilled great values and morals while
providing her a very structured child-
hood environment, with strong con-
nections to family and relatives.
“Mother taught us that extending
respect to others, you will get respect
in return, and the more you give –the
more is given back to you,” she said.
Minister Kim said she was a home-
body growing up and once had aspira-
tions of becoming a trial attorney, but
instead had a calling to become an en-
trepreneur.
Entrepreneurship was not a tool used
in her house, but she always knew that
it was a tool readily available if some-
one chooses to use it, she said. So,
when the opportunity presented itself,
and because of the powerful words
spoken to her by her husband, which
included ‘Don’t Knock It’ ‘Until You
Try It;’ her career decision turned to be
a blessing.
Building her own business has boost-
ed her’ self confidence. She credits
adherence to the Golden Rule of “Do
onto other as you would have them do
unto you” as her central guideline.
What she loves most about her work
are the people that she comes in con-
tact and travelling the world. She said
the friendships she’s made can never
be replaced.
She said her lifetime goals are to
continue to seek Christ and to be used
as a vessel to reach the broken, restore
the shattered, and help heal the bad-
gered.
Minister Kim said no success would
be possible without God. She gives
special credit to her loving children,
saying they are the heartbeat that keeps
her breathing, and to her ‘amazing’
husband – for truly being the wind
beneath her wings to support her for
being herself and who pushed her into
becoming an entrepreneur and a ‘she-
ro’ for many to follow.
“My recommendation would be to
always keep an open mind to any op-
portunities that come your way because
it may be just what you need,” she said.
