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

Hi Jhay, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I realized I had more to offer my community. Playing small was easy, comfortable, safe but unfulfilling! I always had a “behind the shadows” attitude about myself, dimming my own light to avoid recognition; good and bad. It was time to branch out & I knew, I wanted to enter the industry where the capability of outpouring love into the community was boundless… the beauty industry!

 

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?
The biggest challenge I faced in business was believing I could occupy that space, that industry, that world! I want everyone who will ever be impacted by me to know that it’s not the external challenges that are difficult to overcome, its the internal ones! Stready’s Organics is not just my natural hair care & beauty services, its a community!

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.
I grew up in and around Atlanta! I can give great spots in the perimeter of the city and outside. My favorite lowkey brunch spot is Two Eggs in McDonough! The live dj, the food, drinks and community have that southern touch that makes anyone feel at home! Im not one for clubbing anymore but for great music and dance vibes, The Royal Peacock on Auburn Ave is a MUST. There’s so many restaurants being opened in the city, I cannot even begin to choose just one! A few on my list though, are Apt4B, Southern Gentlemen, and I love the Broiler in Lindberg, they have the best seafood boils!

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?
God! God has pushed me from behind the scenes, encouraged me to share who I am with all who care to hear, and pursue the desires that He has for me! I’m forever grateful to serve a God who holds me accountable!
