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

Hi charissa, other than deciding to work for yourself, what was the single most important decision you made that contributed to your success?
The most important decision I had to make was to risk my savings and a dependable check every week from a job to follow my dream! I had to become very very confident in myself to know that all things are possible for me and to know that I am making the right decision no matter how scary it was! I knew I would experience times where things were uncomfortable but the freedom that I have being self employed outweighs all of that

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?
What sets my business apart from others is that I don’t sell a product I sell and experience! I sell confidence and I form loving relationships with my customers and clients! I got to where I am today with a lot of prayer and belief in my self and my self worth! I took calculated risk and I really studied and learned everything that I could about my customers habits, hobbies, and what makes them feel good! I have learn that with persistence and patience I will persevere to my highest potential! I’ve learned that everyone is not going to be my customer and that’s ok! I want the world to know that My brand accepts you just the way that you are! My brand builds confidence in women of many different backgrounds! We’re your biggest fan and cheerleader! My brand takes the limits off of what society feel women should be and how we should act! You can be unapologetically yourself and that’s more than enough! You are a queen

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My friend and I would go to restaurants downtown, buck head and midtown for food and have a few cocktails and amazing food, we will def see all of the amazing Atlanta monuments, and then we will go out and enjoy the Atlanta night life.

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’ve had a very strong support system between family and friends! But most importantly my mom has been my rock and pushing me to keep going no matter what and encouraging me to know that I am worthy of having the success that I want! I am also in a mentorship group and we all support and encourage each other! I read self development books daily and feed my mind with prosperity and I always focus on the positive!
