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

Hi Daya, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I have always had a profound love of poetry and writing. Ever since I could remember, poetry has been my escape from reality. I developed a deep connection with poetry and have found it as a way to express my feelings. I also loved the beauty in creating visual creations for people to feel the emotion through screens. Therefore I found my niche in creating Elom and Co. Productions.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am the founder of an Atlanta-based, youth led production company called Elom and Co Productions. Developing a successful company while also thriving as a high school student is one of the greatest obstacles. Patience and prioritizing my goals has been a great help in overcoming this. What I want people to take away most from my story is that nothing ever comes easy, everything earned in life is earned by consistent preparation, patience, and determination.

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.
Two of favorite spots to relax are The Chattahoochee Works Atl and Poetry Night at the Colony Square. A lot of great memories have occurred there.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My philosophy has been impacted by my mother first and foremost. Other influences have been Maya Angelou, Nicki Giovani, James Baldwin, Zendaya, Donald Glover, and Jordan Peele.
