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

Hi Mia, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
One of the habits that I feel that has helped me to succeed is to be organized! Every night before bed I fill out my planner for the task that I have to accomplish the next day. Writing out my plans for the day allows me to not only keep track of the task but seeing it as a constant reminder makes me accountable to the things that I am supposed to do. Another habit that I hold close to me is making sure that I pray every morning before I even get out of the bed and saying my manifestations before I get started with my day!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I believe that I got to where I am today by being consistent and by taking risk. I participate in, apply for, go after things that I might not necessarily qualify for…… but I won’t know until I try! For instance, when I applied to the Belk Southern Designer Showcase the application had a list of requirements that were out of my reach as a designer who was newly starting out. I answered “Yes” to everything and was determined to figure it out once I was accepted! And it actually worked out for me! LOL! What I want the world to know about my brand is that women of all shapes and sizes can still be DOPE while dressing like a lady!

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?
This is an easy one! First stop on the list is Jeju Sauna….. it is a 24 hour Korean bath spa and a great place to relax and unwind! After we leave there, going to RA Sushi to get the Las Vegas rolls! Drive a few hours away from Atlanta to a tiny Getaway in the mountains of Georgia.

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?
Sabrina Abraham, my financial educator has definitely been a turning point for the business side of my fashion brand! As I pivot Mia Reid Collection into becoming a household name Sabrina has stayed consistent in assisting me with the logistics of what I need to do in order to take my business to the next level.
