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

Hi Chrystal, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
Learning how to get out of my comfort zone. It helped me meet new people that have opened doors for me, say my name in a room filled w opportunity, and overall support me

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
The main goal for Gem Styled It is to make anyone I dress feel powerful about themselves. I want them to get out their comfort style and know they can pull off anything. It doesn’t matter their size, height, color, background, etc. They can wear and do anything they want. I am the most excited about expanding my business. I can’t say too much but I do have a lot more services in store.
One major lesson I love learned is that you should never be afraid to try new things. It might seem scary at first but it’s inspirational and important for your growth.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m the type of person who hates planning. So i wing everything and that’s how I find some good spots but never remember their names… thank you Google lol. But for sure we’re going on Eventbrite to find an art show or music festival. Depending on the weather we’ll chill at a park or a nature site and paint. I’m also the type of person that gets along with fairly all types of personalities but the command denominator is how open minded they are…because those are the type of people that’ll you’ll have the best time with. And if they’re a creative that’s a big plus.

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?
My parents for getting me into clothes, encouraging me to model, and allowing me to express myself through clothes without question. My friends for having my back when I need support.
