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

Hi Braxton, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I think risk taking is very important in any career and in your life overall. I believe when you have a strong passion behind something than it’s important that you take a risk to get to the next level that you are aiming to reach. There is always a lesson in the risk that you’re taking but that risk will open up doors and opportunities for you to grow.

At the beginning of 2022 I took a risk of moving from Virginia to Atlanta. As a creative, wardrobe stylist and entrepreneur I strongly felt that the risk of moving away from my comfort zone would open my eye to a bigger vision of what I’ve always imagined for my career.

Fortunately, that has been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year so far.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It’s not necessarily what I do but how I do it. As a published wardrobe stylist and creative director attention to detail help me execute the vision of any project. Today, I am most proud of being able to overcome certain obstacles but yet still being able to pursue my passions.

Determination and willpower are what set me apart from others. Being told no was and still is one obstacle that I constantly to deal with but I don’t let “no” discourage me, it’s a motivation at this point.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
From Italia is a women boutique located in Colonial Heights, Virginia owned by Italia Talley who is a Educator, Mentor, and Entrepreneur.

I met Italia back in 2020 and started of working as her in-store stylist at her boutique. We later became partners as I moved up as a Visual Merchandising & Buyer for her boutique. Later on, we began expanding the boutique customers by adding genderless pieces into the boutique.

So now this women’s boutique now had something for everyone.
