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

Hi Jazmin, the decisions we make often shape our story in profound ways. What was one of the most difficult decisions you’ve had to make?
The most difficult decision I ever had to make was leaving everything behind for a bit to start my life over from nothing. I left my home, my daughter, friends, family and a long term abusive relationship. I had to start over and create a new and fulfilling life for my beautiful daughter and I.

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?
My name is Jazmin Symonè and I’m the founder and owner of my beauty brand J Symonè International. I sell lashes, all natural lash and brow growth serums, lipglosses and hot tools . There will be more added on to the brand at a later date. I wanted to create a visually pleasing luxury brand that spoke for itself through its products. Nothing comes easy as I am still improving my business skills. I would say write out your ides and just execute them! Since starting a business I have learned (and still learning) how to market and make more aspects of my company come to life. I would love to one day have a store front in Atlanta. I want the world to see more luxury based brands owned by people of color. Also I want the world to know that anyone , and I mean anyone can have a dream, a simple Idea, a hobby and turn it into profit. Quality, excellent customer service and beauty is what exudes J Symonè International.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
As I am pretty new to Atlanta myself, I would say its great to try out some of the resturaunts in Midtown. I love food and I think a great way to introduce anyone to a new city is to try out the food. Its so many nice roof tops, hotel bars and soul food spots to try out in Atlanta. I also like Downton, its great to just walk around, shop, and do some fun activities with friends and family.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to make a shoutout to my grandmother. She is one of the most sweetest, understanding, non judgmental women that I know. When Im having a challenging day she comes to my mind and it calms all my emotions. Also I want to shoutout my beautiful daughter. I truly do live for her, she was one of the main reasons why I took a leap of faith to moved to Atlanta to start my beauty business and just want better for myself. She is my life and I just want to give her the world and an amazing childhood.
