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

Hi Bryanna, what role has risk played in your life or career?
My entire career choice is a risk! Lol starting a business is literally several steps of risk taking and if you are afraid to chance everything on the thought of the possibility of what your life could be if everything works in your favor then entrepreneurship is not for you! The entire previous sentence alone was a bunch of what ifs…. But imagine what could happen if you just simply tried!

What role has risk taking played in my life? Honestly I wouldn’t be where I am today if I didn’t take my many Leaps of Faith! I didn’t start in a storefront location with 8 employees. I started alone, hardly any financial support, just a passion and God! With God taking those Leaps of Faith has allowed my brand to be what it is today!

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.
I’m a licensed esthetician & spa owner of Junoesque By Bree where I specialize in corrective skincare and body waxing services for men and women. What sets my brand apart from others honestly is not just the quality of service but the customer service. Our clients are treated like they are family it’s seriously nothing but laughs, good times,& on occasion tears! Junoesque is literally a place for our clients to come & be themselves freely!

I’m a firm believer that I’m where I’m at because of God’s Favor. This journey of entrepreneurship has not been an easy one a lot of late nights & even some tears but because of Gods grace He’s allowed me to be able to expand not only my knowledge in the industry but the ability to bring people under me.

What I’ve learned is balance is necessary! Work-Life Balance is necessary!
Boundaries are necessary!

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.
Of course Junoesque By Bree will be on the list lol but I’m horrible at this because I’m truly a home body omg but nightlife I love going to Milwaukee nightclubs or something local and small would have to be brick house for sure!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband Daquan Smith. Without his support at home being present for my business would be impossible. He’s been such a great Father to our son and when days get long he’s always there rooting for me!

Second my Team! I want to shoot them out because they have to put up with me every single day at work however without them the business wouldn’t be able to expand the way it has!
Lastly my support system of friends! I don’t want to start naming anyone and forget someone but I’m soo grateful for my sisters/friends who sit and listen to my many ideas on repeat until I get it right! I’ll forever ever grateful for them!
