The 1% Flow: Balance & Billie Episode

In this episode of The 1% Flow, we sit down with Billie, a young Black woman who’s balancing college, work, and entrepreneurship—all while staying connected to her passions and her culture. Billie is a business finance major at Sac State, but beyond the classroom, she’s someone with a deep love for music, fashion, and doing hair. Her story is one many of us can relate to—finding your own path while juggling multiple responsibilities and passions.

Billie opens up about the importance of balance in her life. As a middle child with 10 siblings, she is used to managing a lot of different personalities and responsibilities, and that experience has shaped her approach to life. In her role as a desk attendant at the MLK Center, Billie has found a supportive community that helps her stay grounded as she navigates the challenges of college life. This episode is about more than just balance—it’s about finding your flow and creating a life where all the different parts of you can thrive.

Whether it’s through her love for fashion, her skill in doing hair, or her passion for entrepreneurship, Billie is constantly finding ways to express herself and create opportunities.

This conversation is for anyone trying to figure out how to balance it all while staying true to who they are. We dive deep into how you can find your own flow and pursue greatness without losing yourself in the process.
