Soktevy Phann-Smith, Spinning Wylde's owner, said as a woman of color and business owner, she suffers from self-doubt.

"I'm trying to find more value in the work that I do, and the value I'm finding right now is the amount of joy it brings to other people," she said. 

We sat down with Phann-Smith to learn more about her business and the challenges she faces - as well as how she overcomes then.
