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

Hi Mekahla, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
All my life I kenned I wanted to work for myself. I didn’t precisely know what it was that I wanted to do but I was confident that I would do whatever it takes to be my own ascendant figure. I worked illimitably to decipher what it took to run a business. It took me like 3 months of brainstorming before I verbally expressed “ok Mekahla let’s do this!” I took that leap of faith & kaychanel is one of the best things that’s transpired to me thus far!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Kaychanel&Company is a fashion boutique! We sell anywhere from bangles to corset belts! My business is literally my LIFE. Every package is hand packed daily & shipped punctiliously. I go the extra mile for my customers every time! It’s deeper than just the money I make! I commenced this business out of contentment. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy but I’ve been up for the challenges since day 1! I’m going into my second year & it’s safe to announce it hasn’t always been a breeze! I still have so much work to do and one day I will be where I optate to be!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If you’re in Atlanta I definitely recommend the downtown area! Book a room at the W hotel & just walk the strip! It’s tons of restaurants, Skyview Atlanta, Krog street tunnel! I’d also like to point out Atlanta’s pop up shops! If you own or like to support businesses visiting a couple of popups should be on the agenda!

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’d relish to thank my lord Jesus Christ for getting me this far. I would be nothing if it wasn’t for him. I’d also relish to thank my village. My parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, cousins, siblings & so many more! Everyday they instill in me the “beautiful, effulgent, keenly intellective & astute adolescent lady I’m becoming “ as my grandmothers would verbalize. My support system plays a very important role in my prosperity. I definitely appreciate everybody who’s availed me in this business world & the fortification doesn’t go unrecognized.
