Some people build a business to make a living. Julissa built hers to make people happy. Meet Julissa, a Peruvian entrepreneur whose decoration business turns ordinary events into moments a family will never forget. Her days are long and her nights are late, and when the last detail is finally in place, she still has one more trip to make: getting home safely.
"For me, feeling safe is everything. Success isn't only about what you achieve, but about what you share."
My name is Julissa, and I'm an entrepreneur. Every detail I create brings a little joy to a family. I run a decoration business, and even though it's my work, it's also my passion and my way of celebrating life.
A business built to celebrate life
Every event I put together is a special moment for someone else. That's what keeps me going. I get to be part of the days people remember, and there's real happiness in that.
Success is what you share
What I earn doesn't stay only with me. A part of it always goes back to my community. We try to bring a little light where it's needed most.
Because success isn't only about what you achieve. It's about what you share.
The city isn't always easy
There are long days, late returns home, and times when I’m tired.
I'm often moving my materials for events, heading home when it's already dark. That's exactly when I need to know I'll get there safely.
Feeling safe is everything
That's why I choose who takes me. Coming home at night, carrying my equipment for the next event, I feel calm.
When I share my location, I know someone is with me on the road, and that gives me peace too. For me, feeling safe is everything.
Her message to other women
To the women around me, I always say the same thing: believe in yourself, be bold, and keep moving forward.
