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

Hi Canon, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
At first I didn’t think at all which lead me to a lot of bad decisions. No one considers risks when they are excited about something new. One thing I’ve learned was to “fail fast” lol. Meaning fail to learn from the experience and do better on the next. Everyone takes risk but I had to learn to stop being so excited and really look at where I want to be. Does it align with where I’m going? Can it become a risk to catapult me into a better me for my son.

Taking a leap and really diving into my potential has been the best risk of all. But! I didn’t do it all alone…

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m still on the road to becoming a pro. Lol. But I’m definitely on my way. It’s been a long road; full of tears, twists, turns and speed bumps. Not easy but worth it.

Without the support of the family and my Accountability Formation family, I would be lost and probably still trying to figure out my life.

As I’ve stated before, fail fast has been the ultimate lesson and the greatest attribute to becoming the mom boss I am today.

I want the world to know, keep fucking going. Keep pushing until you can’t. And when you can’t get the help you need and some bomb ass people to lean on.

I’m a normal person with big dreams and with photography my main focus is on you!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Wow! Loaded question! Let’s just say we are googling it all. Lol. I’m from ATL but still have yet to touch all the nooks we have to offer.

For sure! We would have to hit up Waffle House, it’s a staple. Then Atlantic Station. I’m more of an adventure seeker and having a planned out day is not a good idea. It never goes to plan. Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Yes, I would dedicate this whole interview to my boyfriend Ricky B., my son Nelly and the best group of all; my underdog millionaires, Accountability Formation!
