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

Hi Lashea, how do you think about risk?
When I think about risk I think that there is no gray area. However with my life and my career I have always been outspoken on any issues and/or my opinions. A Black Girl Perspective will continuously be at risk of becoming apart of the “cancelling culture” because I have realized with todays generation if your views are not the same you’re automatically wrong.

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.
I’ve been unemployed for sometime, looking for something called “My Dream Job”. That I never found. So I decided to create myself a job. That’s why my brand is so personal to me. I’m not where anywhere close to where I wanna be but i’m not going to stop until I build a million-dollar brand. Building a brand while being an introvert are not easy because most introverts dont care about having a big following base. So I’m still learning a lot about this industry, with a lot more to learn. I want the world to know ABGPerspective is here to stay and I am ready to collaborate… This brand is built to help create millionaires as well as everything else that comes with it. This brand is the future and my life. The more you follow soon you’ll be able to see a real Rags to Riches story.

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?
Because I love to be active when I step out Urban Air is one of my go to spots. It brings out your inner child, Also its always kid friendly which is always a bonus to have fun that your kids can experience. Another great place is the Painted Pin, its a greay funky bowling alley. Never been to any other alley like it.

I’d like to dedicate my shoutout to all of the naturally talented individuals that get overlooked due to “popularity. Also to all the single parent entrepreneurs breaking generational curses to build generational wealth.
