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

Hi Kwona, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was simple. I had a vision and set a goal for myself. I was never thinking of working for anyone other than me and for my family. Seeing other young entrepreneurs encourage me to never give up. So with all of my creativity I began to work for myself

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Well I love being apart of the wonderful world of makeup. My creativity comes from many others before me the creativity I seen just made me want to better my skills. It’s hard to say who’s the best artist but what set me apart is not only do I great work I relate to my clients and that one on one time be priceless. Although it didn’t start out that way but with more experience the more I learned to relax and just be me that was a major key. I want everyone to know to get the full “Beatz By Kwona” Experience is nothing short of a real vibe. I like to reach and set the bar being authentic as possible and give my all and also I’m not ashamed of failing a challenge or a look. Everyone can always learn more and never be ashamed to fail. Ask god to give you the strength to try again .I’m always excited about others who share the same ideas as me and who knows the hard work it takes to striving to be greater each day

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My Top Favorite Places To Go In Atlanta 1. Skiyline. The most beautiful place to eat and set the mood day or night. Perfect for date night. This place was our Anniversary night surprise.

2. The Garden Room: This is a true spot for a girls brunch, The ambience is beautiful, It’s like being in a Alice And Wonderland experience

3. Georgia Aquarium.: The Family/Friends Friends Day Out
It exhibits hundreds of species and thousands of animals across its seven major galleries, all of which reside in more than 11 million US gallons of water.

4. World Of Coca-Cola: Family/Friends Day Out This is a fantastic attraction! I had no idea of the depth of history and the number products under the Coca Cola name.

5. Mr Diddy’s: If you’re Looking for that good Old Soul Food? This is one of our Favorite spots to go eat, it’s a small business that take pride in their food and costumers. And the egg rolls are the best.

6. Old Lady Gang: Now this is another great Family and Friends restaurant that has amazing food, costumer service and music.

7. Killer Burger: Now this joint here is another one of my favorites. If you like building buró than this is your spot. Open floor, Bar and patio. The shakes are #1.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and for most I would love to thank God, without the gift he has given me. I wouldn’t inspire or touch others. I would love to Thank my Husband Brian Walker for being my biggest supporter thank you for always having my back. You have taught me so much about being true to what be true to you. keeping me motivated and reminding me Everyday who I am. Next I would love to thank my mother for the unconditional love she give and motivation to being a strong black woman. The love and the support from my mom is undying without her I wouldn’t be the woman I am today. Love you mom you did it first great job on being a single parent raising your two daughters. Last but not least Sharon Dumas, For providing a program that help me gain my confidence when I wasn’t at my best being a motivator and mentor and someone I could trust was exactly what I needed and I will be forever be thankful for meeting her.
