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

Hi Rashita, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind my success is my secret ingredient, God! I sprinkle him into every aspect of RLS Image. My faith is important because no matter what people say they are not self-made, I believe that every thing that I’ve been able to accomplish has been because of his grace and favor. I also believe. that with women it’s important to build bonds. I want every woman that encounters RLS Image to feel special and better when she leaves than when she came. I want us to impact her life in some way to make it better

What should our readers know about your business?
I feel like what separates RLS Image apart from other businesses, is we take pride in caring about our clients, and not just taking their money. We genuinely care and try to form relationships with our clients to better meet their needs. Relationship building is essential, because it enables them to trust us more with supporting their needs. I’m most excited about the work that we do in giving back to our community with our annual Prom Queen program. This program allows us to provide well deserving seniors that may have financial difficulties to still be able to have the prom of their dreams. RLS Image along with our of our partners businesses, Maree Antonette , Owner of Nirvana Studios and Tameka Hucks, Owner of Crowned Beauties provide prom gowns, hair & makeup services, accessories etc for an amazing worry free prom night. One other thing that RLS Image does that I’m so proud of, is working with our military in the community as they transition from military to civilian life, by teaching them interview techniques and providing clothing options. We’ve recently also begun blogging for different fashion events, to include officially for both DC & RVA Fashion Weeks, so that’s super exciting. I’ve always had a passion for fashion, I was styling myself and friends when I was in middle school. It took years before I realized that I absolutely love seeing people look and feel amazing about themselves in what they wear. There are days when it’s difficult, not enough sales or support but you just keep pushing and doing your best to overcome. I’ve learned that nothing comes easy but with hard work, prayer and much perseverance we get through it all. I want people to know that RLS Image is here to truly serve our community by helping people to look and feel their best from the inside out. Looking good is not only about what you have on your body but it has everything to do with how you feel about yourself. It’s about being confident within and letting that shine through what you wear.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Hampton Roads has amazing things to offer depending on what you’re looking for. I love brunch so a few of my favorite brunch spots are Mango Mangeaux and FoodCraft. If you’re looking for nightlife entertainment I love Legacy, Noir and the Monroe Rooftop have great vibes.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family has been super supportive in every thing RLS does. My son Marquis has always pushed me to do what I love. My daughter Kienna has been there to help me bring it life. My mom and my friends have been amazing.and I can’t forget my amazing team to include my best friend, MUA & Hairstylist Maree Antonette and my Photographer Xaviar Media always have my back with all of my projects.
