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

Hi Amber, how do you think about risk?
“No risk, no reward”: That is a favorite quote of mine because, people always say in order to success you have to fail or fail multiple times first. In order to receive a reward, you have to take some type of risk. Whether that’d be financially, mentally, physically, re-locating or time usage. Taking risks financially has always granted me the bigger reward and for that I am forever blessed and grateful.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I have model programs where I teach people how to get started with modeling. I will say that taking the advice of my mom has been great because I was doing so much for free, and the moment I started charging… it led me to work with people who are serious about what they would like to do as far as modeling, influencing or even having clients and I do the Creative direction. Not only does my proof (being my clients) show what I am capable or doing and how I can help people, but it shows that it’s more than just having people pay but I produce real results.

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?
Not gonna lie; there is not much to do here in the city where I can say that I fully feel safe. I would take them outside of Philly for the most part just explore fun things. New Jersey and Delaware are where we would probably spend the most time. Philadelphia has high crime rates and I do not want to be on that list of next victims. In the city IF we do decide to do something, out to eat would probably be the most that we would do. Other than that, out of the city we go! LOL

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shout out God first because without him I am nothing, and would not be where I am today without him. Second shout out to my previous job that laid me off because other opportunities have opened. A huge thanks to BET for choosing me to freelance for the biggest red carpet events. I have been able to network, travel and meet those who I would not have had access to in this time of my life.
