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

Hi Just Woo, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Life is full of risks. At this point I would rather take the risk and learn the lesson and get the answer to my questions than not take the risk and be left wondering what could’ve been. To be your best self, you got to be willing to take a risk or two or a 100. They make life exciting and help guide you in the right direction. They can be scary, but life is too. So might as well try something different. Taking risks has played a huge role in my life, from working a regular job to now getting brand deals and living in the penthouse of my dreams. I risked it all and came out with more than I could ever have expected. I’m scared to not take a risk now.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My life is my art and I’m just sharing it with the rest of the world. What sets me apart from the rest is that I am a free spirit person and carefree. Y’all are here for every win and every loss. I’m not afraid of the no’s that come with the lifestyle that I live. I’m most proud of how I take on a new challenge and how I managed to do everything on my own from my pictures to my edits to contacting brands all while living life and making the most out of every moment. I’m excited about the collaborations that I have in the works. I can’t wait to share it with you guys. I got to where I am today by betting on me and not taking no opportunity for granted. It wasn’t an easy rode at all. A lot of tears, hard work and faith went into getting to this point. Everyday is different. You have to isolate from the people you love most to become a better you. Some people you have to leave behind and it hurt because when you use to sit and dream about your future life you imagine them there with you. I overcame the challenges by trusting in God and trusting myself. Some important lessons I’ve learned along the way are speak to everyone, you never know who can pass your Information alone to the right person. Always promote yourself and what you do, you’ll never know who might be looking for someone like you. And last but not least is that you can’t take everybody to the top with you. You have to leave some people behind in order to reach your goals. No matter how much it might hurt to leave them, you have to if you want to make it out of the situation that you are in right now.

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 would love to take my friends to do a little bit of everything. I’m a huge sucker for tourist attractions. So we’ll start off with the Ferris wheel, then the world of coca-cola, I might even show them the Mercedes Benz Stadium, lol. I’ll love to go to some hidden gems with them, like JoJo Beloved for some drinks and good vibes, or Papa Roy’s Louisiana Kitchen. For entertainment we can go to Beat The Bomb to have a fun activity and we will definitely hit up the original dwarf house for some scenery and food. There will definitely be more on the list but that is just a few of the things that I would do with my visiting friend.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
None of this would be possible without God. I’m forever thankful and blessed. My best friend/designer, my family and the influencers that paved the way for the next generation of influencers. Forever will look up to them for taking the first steps and doing something out of the normal.
