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

Hi Shiquita, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
Most important lesson learned is to be true to myself!!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart from others is that I am uniquely designed and I understand that this life is bigger than me. I got to where I am professionally is by being myself, learning who I am and what I’m capable of being.
The lessons I learned along the way is that no matter how many wolves are in this industry, to remain my true self and don’t join the pack.
What I want the world to know about me is that I not what people may expect.

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?
I would take them to a lake and we’d cookout and maybe fish, go to a few live band lounges, eat at some of Atlanta’s restaurants, go to art museum, historical sites, concerts, plays, etc. grown up thinga

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Wooo, there’s a few people but I will give the recognition to my grandmother. Though she has passed on, a lot of who I am is because of the foundation and keeping God in my life at a very young age. And now that she is gone, I strive even more to make her prouder!!
