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

Hi Jada, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Financial freedom . Most jobs critique your background and things that have nothing to do with the person you are now. I’ve had great jobs let me go (even though I’ve shown amazing work ethic) over something happened 7+ years ago in my teen years

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart is my resilience. I look at challenges as self motivation and push to strive . I got here today by never giving up on me , you only get one life so how can you just give up on yourself , in reality YOU are all you have. The lessons I’ve learned is that if you feel like you’re almost there keep going ! The moment you gave up could’ve been your breakthrough ! Never quit !! What the world should know about me is that I’m going to change the game ! It’s so many genuine people with wonderful qualities who miss out on opportunities because of something that happened in the past . I will not allow a good soul to go unnoticed, everyone makes mistakes I’m more focused on what you’ve done to overcome those mistakes and a track record of doing better

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.
If my bestie was visiting for a week I would take her to different food spots that I enjoy ! Yard House , Octopus Kitchen , Augustine’s brunch , pirates boil , Blu Seafood (they have a live band) . We are more outside people so we would go trailing and hiking . Also enjoy the sip and paint places in the city and also there is a candle making place . I would also take her to the trap house so she can understand Atlanta culture and where our music comes from.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Definitely God ! I’ve been constantly looked at for what I do wrong and never hear anything when I’m on my pivot . No matter what happened GOD was always there and got me through the struggles and the rises of everything
