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

Hi Kala, how do you think about risk?
I LOVE taking risks. Risk taking has been pivotal in my career and in my life in general. I always say do the things that make you nervous/anxious, that’s when you know you’re going to grow!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I do everything and I do it well! Currently, I am a marketing manager at 8th Wonder Management, content creator and an upcoming business owner – (be on the look out for Femme Care). It is not easy but i’d like to say my path set itself and im just following along. Over the years i’ve learned to always take risks because you literally never know where your dreams will take you.

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’m a foodie so I am always trying restaurants and Roc South is at the top of my list, I swear its the best soul food in the city! Of course, you have to visit some brunch spots like Toast On Lenox and Breakfast At Barney’s too.

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?
My alma mater, Clark Atlanta University, definitely deserves recognition in my story. At CAU I learned almost everything I know about believing in myself and how to always “find a way or make one” when an opportunity isn’t present. I’d also like to recognize my family, mentors and my peers who are also on this journey of chasing our dreams. It isn’t easy at all but we’re always encouraging each other to keep going.
