Nikkita Gordon: Cute & Cocky

 

AB3 sits down with Nikkita Gordon, Founder and CEO of Cute & Cocky, a manufacturer of firearm accessories and apparel based in Albany, Ga. Listen in as she shares how she found massive success as a serial entrepreneur at only 26 years old, why she specifically decided to start a business in the firearm industry, and her exciting ideas for the future.

 

Episode Highlights

  • Nikkita tells the gripping story of how a couple of close-calls with a registered sex offender motivated her to get her firearm license.
  • Nikkita shares her goal of licensing out the patents for her company’s holsters, so that they can be incorporated into the clothing of existing brands
  • Nikkita talks about how she and her business was received when she came on the scene as a young, Black female entrepreneur.

3 Key Points

 

  • After noticing a lack of concealed carry attire options for women, Nikkita filled the market gap by building a company which offers clothing that is not only functional, but fashionable as well.
  • Nikkita and Cute & Cocky are on fire and ready to scale the brand further than it has ever gone in the past few years, from licensing out the patents for its holsters to existing clothing brands to venturing into global markets.
  • There aren’t currently a lot of Black women involved in shooting sports and the hunting industry. Nikkita hopes that, through her example, more individuals like herself will become aware of and excited about getting involved in these spaces.

 

Three Powerful Quotes

 

  • Who wouldn’t want to own a concealed carry holster company with patents and trademarks already completed for them?
  • I’ve been able to partner with these organizations because they understand what I have to offer as far as bringing an audience of Black women to get more involved in shooting sports and hunting.
  • This is a space where there are very few Black women involved; so, when I walk into a lot of these rooms, there are only a few of us. But it’s not because they don’t want to be there. Sometimes, they’re just not aware and someone has to enliven their interest in these events.
