DALLAS — Just after midday on Monday, Latigra Poole, one of Quenita Harris’ devoted clients, took to her Facebook page to pay homage to this accomplished Atlanta-based businesswoman.
Said Poole in a rather inspiring, forthright post to the social media world: Y’all better get y’all credit straight……..Holler at her!!! Quenita Harris she really is the truth!”
And just like, the ever-so-popular social media universe was greatly enlighten once again of the remarkably compelling services of Harris, who is steadily making a strong case that she undoubtedly is one of the region’s finest professional credit restoration specialists.
A native of North Little Rock, Arkansas, Harris, 37, is a longtime credit consultant whose primary mission is to assists individuals escape from less-than-perfect to favorable credit.
In addition, this credible financial education consultant is widely known for assisting individuals who lack the knowledge of resources to meet financial goals.
“Whether their goals are to purchase a home, car, or provide a stable financial foundation for their family, I provide current accessible financial resources to meet their goals,” Harris told Making Headline News during an exclusive interview.
Interesting enough, Harris’ mission includes consulting with entrepreneurs on creating a financial basis, particularly as it pertains to emerging as a longstanding business by way of building their business credit, as well as to educate them on how to secure funding for their business.
A former multi-sport athlete who starred in volleyball, basketball, and was a member of the varsity track and field squad in high school, Harris was the catalyst of both the volleyball and basketball programs at Philander Smith College. As she tells it, it was due in large part to her competitive drive in athletics that has greatly enabled her to adopt a competitive nature as a flourishing businesswoman.
A North Little Rock Jacksonville Senior High School alum, Harris is a graduate of Philander Smith College. She holds a Master’s Degree in Project Management from Keller Graduate Management University, as well as an MBA and a Master’s of Information System.
“In sports, you learn to have a strategy for playing the sports and knowing the opponents,” Harris explained. “I write things down often to ensure that I am abreast on the rules of the business. I research, which I would equate to practicing and getting better at my profession.”
By and large, helping her clients or potential clients grasp a thorough concept of the credit restoration industry is extremely pivotal, Harris acknowledged.
“I have also learned everyone does not have the same understanding of credit or business,” Harris said. “Like with any team sport, I have to know the skill level of each player on the team. My goal is to learn how much a person understands credit and business, then educate from their level of understanding. I learned in sports good sportsmanship is important when playing against others. Sometimes individuals aren’t willing to receive the help available.”
There are, by all accounts, a variety of reasons for what obviously has become a downward trend in the credit restoration arena, Harris emphasized.
“This may be due to past bad experiences, lack of understanding, or they could be afraid to communicate,” Harris explained. “I use good sportsmanship by not allowing the factors to dictate my response to the individuals.”
Since delving off into her selected industry, amongst the things in which Harris finds pleasure is witnessing and aiding others in accomplishing their financial goals. In many aspects, helping consumers make better financial choices often serves as her very own sanctuary.
Well, kind of.
Which, of course, isn’t a bad attribute to exemplify.
“I am allowed an opportunity to minister to others through educating, building relationships, and being known for actually guiding them through a step by step process that works,” said Harris, whose business venture caters to individuals of all ages nationwide. “It helps me to connect to the community…more specifically, it helps me to target single parent mothers, low income, and others that lack resources to become informed that they have choices.”
To her credit, Harris’ notable career has greatly afforded her to put her financial education consulting talents on display in a variety of establishments, most notably in Atlanta, California, even as far as Japan and Dubai.
Talk about having what is starting to become a global impact, courtesy of a financial education guru who’s making a solid case that she is one of the finest and most efficient in this ever-so-competitive industry.
“My personal mission is to be able to provide a one stop shop resource hub for individuals that lack an understanding in overall financial literacy,” said Harris, whose father, George H. Harris, mother, Lavenita Harris, business mentor, Edward Hartley, business coach Kevin Williams, and spiritual leader Nicola Smith-Jackson all have aided her mightily in becoming the accomplished businesswoman she is. “My goal is to partner with other professionals that have individuals with credit obstacles to allow them the opportunity to overcome the credit barriers.”
A career that spans 13-plus years, Harris’ business-related schedule includes being on hand for the “The Esteem Women’s Conference” at the Sheraton Hotel August 26 in nearby Arlington, Texas.
In addition, she Harris be hosting a few online seminars during which she will inform the general public of a variety of informative events to come via her social media pages.
“It is important that I esteem and inspire others, because I have young children that are watching me,” Harris said. “I may not have shown them all things in my life as being the right thing, but they will be able to see that life has challenges and we can determine what our outcome is going to be.”
For Harris, the outcome for the most part has indeed been favorable judging by the social media post of one of devoted clients just before noon on Monday.
