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

Hi Artist, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
There is no option to give up. You have to keep going, there are options to change habits or change out functions of how you work but giving up is not an option. Successful people are the same as everyone else, they just didn’t give up. As long as you are planting seeds toward your goals the universe will find a way.

 

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My Business is a Lifestyle Brand, based on products and accessories that I actually make and use for myself that became popular amongst my friends and community. It has absolutely not been an easy journey however it has been abundant and I couldn’t see myself on any other path. You learn so much about yourself, how discipline you are, how strong you are. I have and still am overcoming challenges with business, but I feel like the universe balances its self and no matter what I chose to do I will have challenges. Ive learned to be as balanced as possible, as organized as possible, and as open to change and learning as possible. The more you stay balanced with the things you know you want to incorporate in your life; like working out etc, it will help you stay sane and realistic. The more organized you are the more time you’ll have and the less money you’ll spend, as well as it effects the more money you will make. The more you are learning the more you are growing and that growth helps your business, you have to learn new ways of doing things in order to be successful. I want people to know that my Brand has been and will continue to inspire people globally to unlock the magic in themselves. Unlocking your personal magic is all about operating at your highest self to manifest your greatest goals. My Crystal Jewelry and unique products help with aiding in the journey of others as well as myself.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
In the City of Washington DC where I am from there are so many things to do for fun and for free. I would definitely encourage visitors to visit the free museums, My favorites are the Hirshhorn, Natural History Museum, Renwick Gallery and the African American Museum.

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?
I want to dedicate my shout out to my Gems. Ive come across so much genuine love and good energy in my journey. Deciding to turn my life style into a business has definitely lead me to so many ppl especially Black Women who have loved up on me so much that I really took a chance on myself. They also keep me on track when I am doubting myself and my talents. Every time I have a down moment I receive a text, or review of one from my customers satisfied with their experience with me and it makes me feel so good. I love my supporters, It’s like I take all the love they give me with me everywhere I go just like they take my crystal jewelry with them everywhere they go. That is why I call them my Gems, It’s an exchange of energy.
