Thank you so much for doing this with us! Our readers would love to get to know you a bit better. Can you share with us the backstory of how you came upon this career path and to where you are today?
I started off doing small charity and food drive for the homeless and needed. My parents always had me giving back to community, rather it was working with my church activities to other. Therefore my parent are main reason why I give back to the community and try to help out many people I can. Now these day I am a social media model for Habits 365, a verified brand who created a clothing brand for motivation. I use my ambassador/ modeling with Habits to help the youth out and spread positive vibes. However Habits365 has inspired me to start my own Merchline ” Conquer 224″ !!Coming Soon!! and which trying to get the youth to conquer their fears and dreams today, tomorrow and forever , (meaning of 224) I’m also getting into partnership deals with brands.
In fact perhaps most people who tried to follow a career path like yours did not succeed. Do you have any words of advice for others who may want to embark on this career path but know that their dreams might be dashed?
The best thing I can say is to invest in yourself and take your time, don’t be so easy to give up on your goal.”Conquer today, tomorrow and forever!”
Can you share with our readers some of your strategies you’ve used to build an engaged, loyal, and large online community?
For me I just took every chance I got online and tried it from brand deals, ambassador to other online team to help boost my online presence. I started working with agency also and celebrity campaign to help benefit me to getting more paid sponsorship deals. It all start with investing in yourself. Working with the right people also can help you get to where you want to go.
Can you share a story with us about the most humorous mistake you made when you were first starting? What lesson or take-away did you learn from that?
The biggest mistake I ever made was letting other people make decision for me and it back fire and definitely scammers. People out there don’t care or trying to help you succeed. They just want to take and take from you. Your an easy fallen victim and they won’t feel bad for you.
Who inspires you the most to do what you do?
I can say my parents did as they raised me to be the best I can be. I also like thank my friend Prince as he is a motivated speaker growing his brand and himself to. Finally big shutout to Habits 365 clothing brand for giving me so much knowledge.
