We had the good fortune of connecting with Layla Boyd and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Layla, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Taking risks always plays a huge role in my career, the worst you can get is a no and even then, there’s always other opportunities out there and you can always say that you took that initiative to even put yourself in the position for a spot. The biggest thing to take away from taking risks is, whatever is for you will align with you, always.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I think the thing I am most proud of when it comes to my career is that I’ve taken that initiative to take advantage of every opportunity I felt would help me grow and benefit. I wouldn’t say it’s extremely hard but it isn’t super easy, In all honesty, with this profession you really have to just put yourself out there and always be prepared to put in the work behind it. The lessons that I’ve learned are to network like crazy, I mean if you have to reach out a million times and do follow up’s like crazy, it shows effort and dedication and I promise your break will come, you literally can’t get discouraged! Another thing, is once you’re granted that chance continue to put in the work behind it because you never know who’s paying attention.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
‘JaGurl Tv’ is who I do most of my media work through, the founder and CEO Ravin Williams uses her brand to focus on and deliver positive celebrity news.
