Gina Trimarco spoke with Tahaji Felder, CEO of the Goose & Gander Brand. From an accounting career to social entrepreneur, Tahaji will inspire you with her passion for purpose and remind some of you more tenured entrepreneurs why you do what you do!
Tahaji Felder had no plans on becoming a social entrepreneur. Equipped with a Master’s Degree in International Business from Nova Southeastern University under her arm, and a love of fashion, she made a conscious decision to go beyond the status quo, say yes to her dream, & launch Goose & Gander Brand in September 2015.
Goose & Gander Brand is a lifestyle brand that exists to inspire others to pursue their passion. She knew she wanted to create a bigger impact but was held back by fear. She launched the brand after a long career in finance, and getting laid off from her corporate job as an accountant.
