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

Hi Sucoyia, Risk taking: how do you think about risk, what role has taking risks played in your life/career?
Nothing rewarding in life comes without risk, and my success is largely due to the risks I have taken throughout my career. I watched family and friends sacrifice their dreams simply because they were too scared to fail.Risks are required to achieve your dreams, but I also learned the science of risk management. I carefully assess my business, personal and financial risks regularly. It’s almost an artform! I learned to avoid unnecessary risks while taking calculated risks to reach my goals. I am successful largely because I have learned how to balance. The faster one understands how important it is to take risks, the better one’s chances are to reach the next level. Where there’s no risk, there’s no reward.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Coya’s Closet is an Online Women’s Boutique, based out of Atlanta, Ga.  It has Luxurious, Trendy, Stylish clothing and accessories for the busy woman who wants to look good and make a statement wherever she goes! My clothing line is versatile enough for a day with the kids, working at an office, a girls night out, time at the gym and of course date night. Every single piece in Coya’s Closet Shop is hand-picked and curated by me.  Every top, dress, piece of jewelry, etc., is not only chosen by me but WORN by me. I started this boutique because I believe women should feel beautiful and confident in what they are wearing. Clothing is an expression of who we are and I want to help women feel good about themselves, so they can go out and do good for others! Confidence IS the most important thing a woman can wear!

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?
