We had the good fortune of connecting with LaShara “Mahogany Lovee’ Daniel and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi LaShara “Mahogany Lovee’, as a parent, what do you feel is the most meaningful thing you’ve done for them?
Being there. I’ve been here with the  twin who Made it since day one of the NICU to now and his twin brother who’s spiritually around, And when I’m say “ being here” I do action behind it too with all ten fingers & toes down . Some days are harder than most but I always make sure cooper is tooken care of first and set up for success when I have something to do. I’m just not doing things in light of him day by day;im doing  things for the present & future. It’s nothing or nobody (families & friends included) that cannot say I’m a bad or lazy mother or parent.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
After being a stay at home mom for almost two years, I decided to go back into the workforce. It has not been easy with still being a full time mom, trying to balance day to day things, my many businesses/side hustles (Tour Of Mahogany (Skin Care and Cosmetics)and Mahoganý Lovee & Services (Business cards, virtual assistant, and more), The CoCo Foundation), and even my relationships and friendships. Somedays I do want to say forget it but when I look at my son playing with his toys, I can’t do nothing but get myself together. Along with that as I mentioned, I have eleven years of modeling experience (on and off). With a wide variety of clientele and campaigns & outside of the runway, I am a good spokesperson and have a great personality. I am considered easy to work with and can enthusiastically promote any product. Nothing in life is easy nor was made to not have barriers and challenges besides what was mentioned above this road hasn’t been easy. I’ve lost money, photographers standing me up, not being taken seriously, had my name tarnished & put in places that I’ve never seen or heard of. Also while dealing with and overcoming verbal, mental, and physical abuse. With everything I just listed I had to realize MYSELF that I was put here for a reason beyond myself and to do good.

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?
My favorite places to go are STIR for brunch or Ruby sunshine. For drinks I really love Unknown caller. For a night out on the town it’s so many places to choose from. The cigar bar, six18, Humidor Chattanooga, Bar Watson, Southside Social, No Hard Feelings, even Reagan’s Retro Bar.

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 would like to give a shoutout to the ones who constantly support, those who spread about my businesses via word of mouth, and most importantly the newfound strength I have gained since I became a mom.
