We had the good fortune of connecting with Keisha Gordon and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Keisha, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
The most important lesson my business has taught me is to stay Consistent no matter what issues life throws at you.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What I feel that sets me apart from others is how Passionate I am about the hair industry itself. My ultimate goal is to change a life one hairstyle at a time. I’m most proud of my Growth in little time but enough time just for me. The reason why I am where I am today professionally is because I stay consistent, I set short term and long term goals. I manifest everything I desired to have and to be in life and I work towards just that. It’s was not easy. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication. No matter what life throws at me I NEVER forget my main purpose in life. My main purpose in life is to change mindsets of others using my talent. I speak life into anyone I come in contact with. I want the world to know YOU TO CAN DO ANYTHING YOU DESIRE TO DO AND THE ONLY WAY TO BE HAPPY WHILE DOING IT IS BEING PASSIONATE ABOUT IT. Don’t do things in life because others want you to do it. Do it cause you want to.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
In a situation like sort I would first take my bff to Breakfast at Barney’s I really love their chicken wings at brunch. We are from Detroit and we always know we have the most fun doing urban things. I’d definitely take her to Harold’s, 656 sports lounge , traffik, the malls, and we will be solo for the most part unless we get invited thru my peers somewhere but, 1145 for sure, aquarium, I’ll go around to my friends business sit and have a ball with them as well. So definitely stop at Mink Little Salon and Shoe Doctor store. It’s just always a good time in Atlanta and I feel I’m a great host for the most part. I have so many places we would go in one weeks time. I definitely know how to entertain so that no problem.
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?
I definitely want to give a huge Shout out to my mom (Starleen), my dad (Joseph) for seeing something in me as a little girl and putting much effort behind making sure I do what it is I always dreamed of doing regardless of where I come from. Also my Husband (Dayvon) for allowing me to push forward with it still as an adult. My kids for being my biggest supporters and motivation for why I want more. All of my friends, family and clients who have trusted in me to share my talents but also encourage those in need of it. And MOST OF ALL GOD!! Without the good lord I wouldn’t know where I’d be.
