We had the good fortune of connecting with Laura Lucia and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Laura, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
My Favorite quote is “Nothing is Impossible the word says it itself IM POSSIBLE!” by Audrey Hepburn. I love that quote for two reasons, first I am a HUGE fan of Audrey Hepburn, I have always admired her fashion, style, personality and her life’s work. Second, I like to think of myself as a go getter, I work hard for what I want and I believe that everything is possible during the right time. Whenever, I am feeling stuck or unmotivated I always remind myself of that quote.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Aside from singing, I am an Atlanta based content creator and Fashion + Lifestyle Inspo blogger. I love working with different brands that I connect with to help create pictures and content that my followers and myself enjoy. I absolutely love to be creative and think outside of the box. It’s always so fun to create and be visual. Being a Content creator is not always easy because there is a lot of room to be turned down and lots of ways to be discouraged by thinking that you are not cool enough, not creative enough, too boring, not as put together or “visually aesthetic”and there is always going to be people that do not like you or do not root for you. I have learned that What makes me happy is being creative and having fun, I can’t be a people pleaser and I am not going to care about the negatives. Being positive and doing what I love has been the only way I’ve seen improvement in my content. Simple truth to anything is just do what you love and forget the rest.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Ooh I love this question! some of my favorite ATL spots are…. My favorite food spots are Taqueria del sol at the West provisions district is my absolute favorite for Mexican! their lemon cream enchiladas are bomb! Ponce City Market – I love the açaí bowls at Lucky Lotus, The rooftop is a must! great views! Beltline – love walking and seeing the street art! The Avalon – I love going to Superica and hanging out! It’s fun to get drinks and walk around the Avalon! Collet French Pastry & Cafe in Alpharetta is my all time favorite french cafe!! so cozy and food is great! You definitely feel like you’re in Paris! Gypsy Kitchen at The Shops of Buckhead is a gem!
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to thank ATL&CO for having me perform on the show last October 2019. Growing up with music and having such passion to sing It has always been a dream of mine to get myself out there. It was truly a dream come true to be able to perform on TV. I would personally like to thank Carter Hancock for reaching out to Atlanta & Company and getting me on the show. That experience has helped me boost my confidence and is one I will never forget.
