We had the good fortune of connecting with Princess With The Real and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Princess, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I was born in Kansas but raised in South Georgia. I been through so many trials and tribulations in life that could have broken me but I stayed strong. Me not giving up and believing in myself helped to give me strength.

Life taught me nothing is free and never to depend on others that I have to go after what I want. Even though it was not the best I wouldn’t take any of it back cause it made me the strong independent woman I am today.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
A little over a year ago I quit my job to pursue my career and so glad I finally took a chance on me. I started at 2HotRadio almost two years ago as just on air personality. Then moved my way up to managing operations. Along the way it was not hard cause I’m doing what I love I just had to wait my turn and when it came I proved I deserved it. Now I’m working and growing with the company and apart of the planning process with events and the business.

I’ve always believed in me and know I can do whatever I put my mind to. What I learned is to not second guess myself or my work and to follow my heart going after what I want in life. Starting over might be rough but with hard work I’ve learned in time the money will come easy. I just know I rather work doing something I don’t get a headache thinking about when it’s time to clock in so this is a change from the job I had.

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.
I’m going to be real I don’t get out much cause I be busy on the grind but when if someone coming in town I’m going to make sure they are entertained. Andretti is one spot we got to visit so we can race, bowl and all the above. One of them lunch spots would be Twin Peaks so we can have some shots and hot a comedy spot at night.

I love being a person people tried a food with first so I would surprise my peeps but treating them to a spot they wanted or getting food they never tried that I like. I would buy them some Blissful Cocktails so they can taste the one named after me lol. We would turn up in the house and probably end up hitting an event going on that night. I’m not particular I just like having a good time and like to make sure if I’m entertaining it’s not just me having a good time.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
2HotRadio gave me the first opportunity to really shine doing what I love giving me credit for my work. I love working with a company I can not only grow but grow with. We do so much to help artists and businesses. My brand is about inspiring and motivating people to continue to go after their dreams and grateful to be with a company that not only does that but assists in the growth of others.
