We had the good fortune of connecting with Imani Henderson – Thomas and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Imani, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
One thing that I learned about risk over the years is that you need to take calculated risks. Do what is best for you but do what is smart. Make a realistic plan and stick to it. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.
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?
iSocialPR is a content marketing agency. We focus on revenue-generating digital marketing strategies. What sets me apart from others is that we lead with integrity and authenticity. I am most proud about the growth that we’ve experienced in 2021. We got the opportunity to work with some corporate brands and we made our clients over $6 million in sales last year. It was not always easy. The turning point in my company was getting a team and believing that I was capable and worthy of the success that I desired.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The best place to hang out is the Place of Kai. It’s a spa in Douglasville. It’s black-owned and I love the service. When I want to impress clients or treat my team, I take them there.
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?
I want to give a shout-out to my mentor Jay Success. At an early age, he was the first real entrepreneur that I got to get to know. He nurtured me over the years and provided lots of opportunities for me to get my feet wet with my different business ideas. Mentorship is not always about the good stuff. It’s about the person giving you honest gut-wrenching feedback that sometimes hurts. Growth is on the other side of that feedback. Another shout-out that I want to give is to my amazing father who constantly put me in the position to win. His love and support gave me the space to grow my business. I was able to take advantage of a lot of opportunities that I wouldn’t have been able to take advantage of without his support.
Last but not least I wanna give a shout-out to my best friend, Nevada Hand! She encouraged me to live out loud and be bold and go after my dreams no matter how big and scary they were.
