We had the good fortune of connecting with Kalea Ayanna Holloway and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kalea Ayanna, how do you think about risk?
I believe the middle man between results and potential is fear. Fear comes with taking a risk. Risk can be scary, but fear is just an illusion. Someone can discover that opportunities, results, momentum, and confidence can be found on the other side of taking risks, but I once heard you miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take. You can be one risk or faith move away from what’s meant to catapult to your next. Taking risks, defying the box, and not allowing fear to imprison me have played a tremendous role in my life and career. When taking risks, you can’t be afraid to fail sometimes.

What should our readers know about your business?
Kalea Ayanna LLC is a photography and branding business created to take clients’ ideas from mind to map and show up as the experts they are to market online confidently! I am most excited about helping others see the greatness and message in their stories. Every brand has a story and is a solution to someone’s problem. Getting to this point took grit, determination, and faith to continue to work towards the vision even when there was minimum movement— knowing that the vision is more prominent than me and that my gifts, talents, and abilities are given to me to help others motivate me even on down days. The greatest lesson I’ve learned is a vision without faith and action is just a dream.

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.
I live for memorable moments! I love restaurants with good food and ambiance! STK, Ray’s on the River, Little Alley Steak, Toast on Lenox, Breakfast at Barney’s are some of my favorite restaurants! You can’t forget to stop by Slutty Vegan! Karaoke, Top Golf, Wine Vineyards, or Museums, ending with laughs, conversation, and ice cream from Jeni’s at the Avalon in Alpharetta.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
This story wouldn’t first be possible without God! Secondly, I want to thank my family and close friends for being a part of this journey with me.
