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

Hi Anaya, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My first thought was how would I get started? How would I get sales? What all do I need to do to get to where I wanna be I first started my business in 2019 still in highschool with little to no money my dad funded everything for me which Im still very greatful for ! I had so many questions but I figured out a way I started over so many times to get to where I’m at today and the number one thing is to keep going and that’s exactly what I did.

What should our readers know about your business?
I’ll say I’m very outgoing when it comes to my business I put a lot into this this brand represents me who I am as a person! Where I’m at today I went through so many obstacles which indeed I’m very thankful for! It wasn’t at all easy but with the mindset with the hustle with the ambition I overcame everything thrown my way! I learned so much how to handle my business how to handle disputes customers all that! What I want everybody to know is I make it look easy it’s far from easy I shed tears behind this but hard work pays off I’m really the definition of it I turned something into nothing so I know anybody out there struggling you can to.

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 would most definitely say too golf the vibes is immaculate and the food is bomb! 10/10 I love it there

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 have to give a big ups to my father Anthony Stevens who helped me along this journey through highschool and now he helped me through my business, by funding it, supporting it and much more I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for him.
