The Tampa entrepreneur launches a four-part story about education, reinvention, authorship and building businesses from personal knowledge.
United States, 8th Aug 2026 – Tameka Clark did not begin with a perfect plan, unlimited resources or a straight road to success. She began by making one decision: to start again.
At age 25, Clark returned to school and earned her GED. That decision became the first step in a journey that would eventually lead her into professional cosmetology, natural-hair education, product development, independent publishing, business mentorship and commercial-supply distribution.
Today, Clark is the founder of Bee Natural Locks, an author with a growing collection of books available through Amazon, and the founder of VASS Supplies LLC, a commercial and industrial cleaning-supply business serving customers nationwide.
Her story is not about becoming successful overnight. It is about what can happen when someone stops believing that it is too late.
“Going back to school at 25 taught me that your starting point does not have to become your ending,” Clark said. “I could not see every business or book that would come later. I only knew that I needed to take the next step.”
Clark continued her education through cosmetology training at Erwin Technical College and earned her cosmetology license. She later completed additional professional education related to loc care, hair and scalp concerns, and advertising. Those experiences helped Clark transform knowledge into opportunity.
She built a career behind the salon chair, developed products inspired by the needs she encountered in her work, and began helping other beauty professionals recognize the business possibilities within their skills.
Her public campaign carries one message: Start Where You Are. Build What You Know.
Clark hopes the campaign reaches adults who believe they have waited too long to return to school, begin a business, publish a book or pursue a new direction.
“This is bigger than introducing myself,” Clark said. “I want someone to see my journey and realize that beginning again is not something to be ashamed of. Sometimes beginning again is the decision that changes everything.”
The second release in the series will reveal how Clark transformed years of professional beauty experience into Bee Natural Locks, a salon, educational platform and growing product brand.
