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

Hi Shupier, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
Simple enough: you only need to determine whether God has given you explicit instructions on how to proceed with the circumstances you are facing at this time. Receiving divine guidance sustains your perseverance as it affirms the necessity of progressing despite the prevailing conditions. When the moment comes to release, you will experience a sensation akin to a burden being instantaneously alleviated from your shoulders. You will come to the realization that you have forfeited a significant amount more than you have acquired. You will lose your personality and your sense of where God wants you to go at times. This is when it’s time to let go and let God.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Each month, I encounter a distinct experience. It’s incredible that I discovered a new characteristic, strength, or weakness about myself. With everything going on in this world, I began to realize the importance of mental health. I don’t mess around because the downhill ride will be even more intense than the uphill one. That is the reason why I approach every moment with caution and attentiveness. I acquired the ability to express gratitude. Life is simultaneously brief and prone to forgetfulness. Therefore, it is imperative that you establish a lasting and influential impact, as opposed to fading into the shadows of being forgotten. This is one reason I created Pink Triangle purse line. I want to be remembered for doing something exclusive, different and luxurious. A designer bag that’s eye catchy.

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.
My best friend and I have been friends since we were in fourth grade. People like us have been in our lives from the beginning. Our preferred leisure activities involve everything that promotes relaxation. She is constantly working. Therefore, I would take her to Chateau Elon for two days out of the seven days that she was in town. The ambiance of this location is aesthetically pleasing and induces a sense of tranquility. We have the option to indulge in dining, receive a therapeutic massage, and partake in a wine tasting experience. On another occasion, we can visit the Ipic movie theater to watch the movie and dine at Spaceman. Both locations provide stunning landscape, making them ideal destinations for a memorable girls’ night out. Subsequently, we will indulge in a nostalgic experience reminiscent of our teenage years by visiting an enjoyable destination such as Andretti’s. Our options for entertainment include dining, engaging in recreational activities, participating in bowling, and enjoying laser tag. Lastly, we will need to allocate a day for grooming our hair, nails, and toes. We take great pride in our appearance. Truly, our happiness is contingent upon our togetherness. Being in one other’s presence is enough for us.
