Today we’d like to introduce you to Nathalie Alcenat.
Hi Nathalie, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My story began at Oak Ridge High School, I joined their business magnet program. I learned different techniques and strategies to become a successful business owner. Growing up a lot of my family members worked hard and long hours, due to the fact that they were immigrants from Haiti. They were taught that the only way to make it in America was by working under someone else. Although most of them had a dream of owning their own business, they allowed their circumstances to discourage them. But I knew that I had something bigger in me and that I would be the one to break that generational curse.
I was always interested in real estate, I always loved watching shows about interior designers and home builders. So, I decided to turn my interest into my lifestyle. I knew as a realtor I would be able to change lives and educate individuals. I wanted to impact my community and help them achieve ownership. According to the National Association of Realtors, only 43 % of African Americans are homeowners. My goal as a realtor is to change that number. It takes one person to change a generation. Passing down a home is just one way that you can begin to build generational wealth and create a stepping stool for the generations after you.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
My journey has been everything but smooth. I have encountered many obstacles but I’ve overcome even more obstacles. At 19 years old I am standing here as a realtor. I have had a lot of sleepless nights and I’ve worked long hours to build my brand. My cousin Ivy taught me that ” the sky is not the limit; it is only the beginning”. I still have a lot of things to learn and room to grow. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed but I always remember that success is not given it is earned. All of the hard work I do today will pay off later.
