We had the good fortune of connecting with La’Kendria Fields and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi La’Kendria, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
Yes! “”Fear is false evidence appearing to be real”. This quote has changed my perspective of life and the challenges that we face everyday. Fear leads to worrying which tends to leads to ” unnecessary what if’s” and before you know it we’re crawling back into our shell. It’s a human emotion but ask yourself was there a potential threat or were you in imminent danger at the time that you felt this? The answer will most likely be no. I love this quote because it allows me to stay in the present.

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?
I’m a Licensed Esthetician/ Makeup Artist and the Owner of Own You Artistry & Skin (OYAAS). We are a skin studio located in North Georgia. We offer facials, body treatments, makeup services and more. Society has put everyone in a box and has created a version of what “the standard” looks and feels like. At Own You Artistry & Skin “You are the standard”. This is a lifestyle. I strongly believe that my company values are a representation of something much larger that goes beyond the realm of esthetics. This is what sets us apart from the rest.

Like most business owners it took hard work and dedication to get to where I am today .There were many challenges and lessons learned along the way. I was able to overcome these by replacing old strategies or habits with new ones and embracing change. Being able to let go of what didn’t work in the past has been a major lesson learned.

I want the world to know that Own You Artistry & Skin is a movement!

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?
We would go to Little Five Points because it’s one of the hippest places in Atlanta. There’s a variety of different places to eat, drink and have fun. My favorite metaphysical store Crystal Blue is also located there as well. That place is full of magic! Not to mention the diversity in this area gives me piece of back home in NYC.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to give a credit to all of my family and friends! I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for your love and support. I would like to give a special shout out to my daughter Micaela. Your unconditional love and encouraging words motivate me everyday.
