We had the good fortune of connecting with Generra Ingram and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Generra, as a parent, what have you done for your children that you feel has had the most significant impact?
I am a parent of a beautiful, creative, humorous, and determined teenage girl. The most important thing I have done as a parent in terms of impact is showing my daughter that diligence and purpose, coupled with faith, will help you be the best version of yourself. I taught her never to give up. As a single mother, she has watched me overcome several obstacles, including but not limited to placing higher education on hold to focus on my family, underemployment, unemployment, and unsuccessful relationships. She has witnessed the crude reality of being an African American, a woman, and a single parent in today’s society. But I would not have it any other way because she also got to witnessed my unyielding optimism and fervent faith amid the trials. She was able to see me finally acquire my college degree, achieve gainful employment, spearhead my own business, and get engaged to a remarkable man while standing tall as an African American woman. But, I don’t want to focus only on what I taught my daughter; it is essential to remember as parents that we are not above learning or re-learning things from our children. She has taught me to be more kind, understanding, compassionate, and as she would so eloquently put it, “not so uptight.” Children change us as much or maybe even more than we change them. I am proud to be her mother, and if nothing else, the most important thing I have done as her parent is to love her unconditionally.
What should our readers know about your business?
UrResumeUrFuture, LLC strives to provide our clients with the perfect resume reflecting their personalized skills and qualifications. The company’s main objective is to enable clients to seamlessly gain employment, switch careers, or re-enter the workforce. What sets us apart from other Resume Writing Companies is the cutting-edge technology use that allows us to tackle the infamous Applicant Tracking System (ATS), impactful verbiage, and eye-catching formatting that will result in more callbacks and more interviews! Because we know a glowing resume is only the first step in the job search process. We also offer LinkedIn Optimization, Interview Preparation, Application Assistance, Job Search Strategies, and Personal Branding. I started creating resumes around 2010; I was always able to acquire new jobs even when the economy was in turmoil. My friends would ask me how I was able to remain gainfully employed and switch employers so frequently with such a down economy. I started helping my friends and family gain employment by crafting their resumes. Eventually, I decided to turn it into a business venture. Especially for those in-between employment opportunities, recently laid-off, or having difficulty finding desirable employment opportunities. If you know someone who has had a hard time finding employment and you want to help but do not know how here is your chance. UrResumeUrFuture’s Bringing @merica Back 2 Work campaign is all about helping people get back into the workforce. Whether they are a recent graduate who cannot find employment because they have the knowledge but not the experience, or they are a stay at home mother who wants to transition back into the workforce, or if they simply have had a hard time gaining employment for whatever reason we are here to help.
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.
If my best friend was visiting the Atlanta area for a week and it was not during quarantine, I would take her to Barcelona Wine Bar in Atlanta, GA, for fun and fine dining. I would take her to Serenbe Trail riding in Plametto, GA, for horseback riding or goat yoga. I would take her to Head Quarters Hair Clinic in Marietta, GA, to get our hair done. I would take her to Treat Your Feet Massage and Spa in Buckhead, GA. And I would take her to iFly-Atlanta, for some indoor skydiving.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Success is not about the tangible things but about the great relationships that were fostered, evolved, and made stronger along the way. I would like to shoutout my family; my father (Cleveland Ingram), my mother (Sharon Allen-Ingram), my brother (Hilton Ingram), my daughter (Hailey Ingram-Shaw), my new fiancé (Maurice Hawthorne), and my best friends for always supporting my dreams no matter how big or small. They give me the courage to not only find my purpose but to follow it. I am forever grateful for your love and sacrifice.
