Get to Know the Girl Behind the Brand
Marsha Lynn Hudson, EdS
And So It Began...
The Writer In Me... Started my Own Tutoring Service in the 11th Grade.
I knew I wanted to be a writer from an early age. In high school, I joined the newspaper and wrote for the paper. My love for writing continued when I started writing at UH on the university paper.
As my love for words grew, I started writing poetry, and eventually wrote a play.
Today, I have written several books and journals. To name a few...
Woman of Destiny-Live your Dreams
Train your Mind for Success
How to Have a Good Day Everyday
My latest book of 2022 is Discover Your Greatness
In the 11th grade, I started my own writing tutoring service. I charged $5.
The Photographer In Me..
Started my wedding photography business as a side-hustle.
Writing wasn't my only passion. I have always loved taking pictures. I studied photography in college and even learned to develop my own images in the dark room.
When digital came on the scene, I joined Professional Photographers of America, and my business took off. Being a professional photographer since 2000 has allowed me to travel, shoot and capture the most precious moments of people's lives. My husband and I own a photography and video studio in West Houston.
I started my wedding photography business in 2022 as a side-hustler.
In 7 years, I got my own studio and I shot weddings for 20 years. Then, I rebranded and became a headshot, family and brand photographer.
The Speaker / Coach in Me...Started my Social Media and Speaking business in 2015 while being a Professor at Wharton County Jr. College.
In 2015, I decided that I needed to learn more about social media for my photography business. I wanted to teach it to my fellow photographers. So, I got certified in social media and my social media journey began right in my studio. I would teach social media to photographers. Well, it just took off from there.
Companies, chambers and even UH-SBDC asked me to start teaching it to their business owner.
Fast forward to today in 2022, now I have been through so much training and I continue to keep up with the trends. I am now a social media and branding specialist.
Social media has come a long way and so have I. I love working with my UH-SBDC clients and the many other clients that cross my path.
Retired from the College, December 22 and Registered my LLC.
Hudson Enterprises and Consulting
I pondered and pondered leaving my nice cushion of 22 years at the college. Great pay, great schedule and many years of good times. But, I knew it was time to start living my life be design. It was time to create a life and business that I loved. I knew there would be financial and other challenges, but the thought of time freedom and lifestyle freedom won out in my mind. So, I took the leap! And I am so glad I did.
I have started something that is dear to my heart- The Women's Empowerment Society. It is not just a membership. It is a movement. As a women in leadership, working with other women in leadership is such a fulfilling thing. I get to help other women create a life and a business that they love. It is time to "Rise Up!"

My Life with
Malcolm Hudson
My home life is filled with joy and laughter as I share it with my best friend and husband, Malcolm Hudson. He is my rock and my support. Malcolm is so easy going and calm.
He keeps me balanced and focused. I am so thankful and blessed to have such a kind man by my side and having my back in all that I do.
Malcolm is the videographer of the company and he is also a certified drone pilot. He is an ex-vet who has served his country.
When we are not working, we enjoy nice, quiet evenings at home listening to music and watching movies.
My Favorite Past Times
What do I like to do in my leisure time? People ask me if I actually have leisure time.
Yes, I have learned to balance work and play. In my leisure, I enjoy reading and having a cup of coffee at a local bookstore or coffee house.
I enjoy yoga and being in nature. I love morning and evening walks. I enjoy day trips and quick get-a-ways. Most of all, I enjoy the simple things in life and the peace that they bring.
My Core Values
I like to live my life with integrity and value. Each year, I choose my words that I want to guide my life. They are my core values. They are what I stand for and my "why." My core values can be found in these three words: educate, empower, and elevate.
In 2022, whenever I show up online or send an email or do anything-- I want to make sure I do one of these three words. I am ready for 2022 and the success that awaits me this year.
My Philosophy on Life
I believe we can all carve out the life we desire. I believe that being grateful and generous has a lot to do with what comes to us.
We can create a life of joy and peace and good will as we give these things to others. I believe that what we speak and see can manifest itself in our lives and we can fulfill our destiny and our purpose here on this earth.
