We had the good fortune of connecting with Khouri Smith and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Khouri, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
When I started Stopworrying444 i just wanted to create a brand that showed people battling with mental health issues that everything will be okay, and that no matter how hard the road is it’s always a light at the end of the tunnel!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My brand is a mental health awareness brand. That in itself sets my brand apart from most brands it’s not a clothing or luxury brand. My brand is supposed to reach everyone no matter race, religion, culture everybody has mental health battles they deal with. My brand was born from my own depression and I used that pain to build stopworrying444, bringing the brand to life wasn’t easy but it was defiantly worth it ! I had to gain financially literacy and implement what I learned into real life. I want the world to stop worrying and trust yourself 💙

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m not sure honestly, I’m pretty boring. I like nature so I would go river tubing or to Roswell falls but other than that I’m pretty bored with Atlanta

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
If I have to give credit to anyone it will Be my godmother and my friends. My godmother is literally superwomen ! She showed me anything can be done as long as you put your mind to it. My friends showed me that’s it’s okay to open up and rely on people without feeling scared of being betrayed. I was also the strong friend until I wasn’t and they showed me that’s still okay.
