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

Hi Ja’lia, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Taking risks has played a major role in my life as well as career.! A risk is the only reason I purchased my camera in the first place.! I like to consider them more as leaps of Faith.!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am most proud of how consistent I’ve been.! I once asked my younger brother for career advice and what he said has stuck with me.! “Stay consistent, everyone will get tired and give up… That’s where you come in.!”

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
One of my favorite places to visit is the mall, there’s a literal ice skating rink in the middle of it.! Also, retail therapy and food in the same vicinity, can’t beat that.!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My biggest shoutout would go to my friend Laramie ‘Jacktown Bud’ Collins for putting the battery in my back and believing more in me than I did myself.!
