Fahteema Parrish’s road to entrepreneurship began at a young age as she watched her parents run their own HVAC company. Now, Fahteema is the President and Founder of her own company—Parrish & Sons Construction LLC—a 100% minority, woman-owned construction company in Kansas City, Missouri where she sees entrepreneurship as way to serve the community and create a legacy for her children. Fahteema says that being a woman in a male-dominated field like construction has given her the opportunity to “rise to the occasion” to learn new skills and expand her knowledge. Fahteema is also the President of COMTO Kansas City.
