"One day I decided to start a business, and when I got my first client, I knew I could do it by myself."
Before she could leave an abusive relationship, Consuelo needed a steady income to secure her independence. Inspiration came from an unlikely place — the founding of KFC. “If [Colonel Sanders] could sell chicken door to door, which is much more complicated, I can sell cleaning services, which is much easier.” In Season 1, she faces new challenges as she moves her business into more lucrative markets.
