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

Hi Kiara, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
The most important lesson that my business has taught me is… It’s ok to take a break from it to revamp and regather yourself. I’m big on restarting as often as you like, just don’t quit!

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?
Let’s Vent by Kiara is a mental health support program creating safe spaces for those needing to voice everything needed through talking( vent). In expanding my business I launched mind talk merch. Which is a merch line for shirts, tumblers, coasters and all things crafty. Being a business owner on top of full time work, on top of being a mom is pretty hectic. I managed to overcome the challenges by finding balance and taking the time to rest. We can get caught up in orders or hosting meetings that we forget to reset and rest. I want the world to know that my brand takes confidentiality serious and we stand on us being a safe space!

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?
Savannah, the beautiful city by the sea, has plenty to offer! I’d take them to downtown to experience what river street and city market has to offer. What’s a trip to Savannah without having seafood so of course we will be stopping to Davids for some conch and garlic blue crabs.

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’d like to give a shoutout to a few people: My Lord and savior, he has heard me cryout many days lol! Shoutout to my parents. Shoutout to everyone who has helped, donated, or supported any of my events/meetings.
