Markques realized he possessed an entrepreneurial spirit early on and shares, “I grew up in Morningside Homes on the east side of Greensboro. A lot of people remember it as “The Grove.” My mother used to work for Grimsley High School, and she would always bring cookies home. I would take those cookies and sell them in the neighborhood, and that’s how it all started. As time progressed, I became even more interested in entrepreneurship and ventured out and tried my hand at different endeavors, like opening a hair salon and a clothing store. The only thing that stuck with me was the janitorial side. I started that back in 1992. I had a mentor by the name of Jay Wilson, who took me under his wings and made an impact on me. He showed me the ins and outs of the janitorial business.”
Life would continue to happen for Markques, and his determination never wavered. “Once I learned the business, I ventured out and pretty much started doing my own thing and acquiring my own contracts, and things just took off from there,” he adds. “Today, I provide commercial janitorial services from the Triad Area to Raleigh. The one thing I’m glad about is that as I earned money, I reinvested it back into the business, and as my business grew, I was able to save money, which allowed me to start investing in other things like real estate. I didn’t know anything about real estate, but I have a cousin, Brandon Harris, who does. He taught me what I know. You have to be willing to learn your craft.”
Let’s be honest. Never has anyone said, “I love being called into HR!” When we hear Human Resources, most of us imagine a place where rules are made, papers are filed, and careers start and end. Monica Roach, the HR Talent Acquisition Manager with Charlotte, NC, based McFarland Construction company, has prioritized exemplifying humanity in Human Resources.
Having worked in human resources since 2008, Monica says she loves what she does. Even more, she appreciates the impact she has had the opportunity to make within her company, the industry, and her community. However, she will be the first to admit she didn’t always have things all figured out.
Roach, a Charlotte native, graduated from the North West School of the Arts. “I enjoyed my youth,” Monica says with a laugh. “I was born and raised in Charlotte, and I am grateful for the excellent support system and foundation I grew up with. I majored in dance while in high school and loved everything about it. But after high school, I didn’t know what my life was going to look like. I didn’t want to go to college just for the sake of going, so I took a gap year to figure myself out.”
The Women’s Expo Huntsville is set to return in 2024.
The Women’s Expo Huntsville began as a spark of inspiration in our founder, Tiffany Draper’s mind. As an active member of the Huntsville community, Tiffany saw firsthand the challenges and obstacles faced by women in the area. She dreamed of creating a supportive space to empower women to reach their full potential and to show up every time. In 2021, Tiffany brought her vision to life by hosting the first Women’s Expo Huntsville.
Tiffany says, “It started small with just 100 pioneering attendees. But the energy and excitement were palpable. Women left feeling inspired, connected, and motivated to support one another.”
