Meet Syraea Bradford | Future Physical Therapist & Business Owner

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

Hi Syraea, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I love risks! They can be scary but they can also be very rewarding. Taking risks for me has put me in a position to succeed in so many ways. I was too comfortable in my environment and with my surroundings and I wasn’t seeing any changes with my situation or any form of growth. By taking that risk, that leap of faith it has put me in a position to grow as a woman, as a student, and as a business owner.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m currently in school in my senior year at Texas Southern University studying Kinesiology and will soon become a Physical Therapist. I work in a Physical Therapy office part time, and I also run a business called Ëverything Grëen Juice. I started my business because all things Health and Wellness related is my forte and really important to me. I decided that since I’m going to be a physical therapist working with the mobility of the body, why not focus on the nutritional aspect of the body as well because they go hand in hand! Juicing was just the perfect idea because I love fruits and vegetables and learning about the many benefits they come with, it’s simple, and it doesn’t take much to consume. And they’re just overall good, I have to be honest!

I’m most proud of being able to manage my business with my busy life schedule. Although it isn’t easy I still do my best and manage my time for my business because I want it to flourish! I’ve never been the type of person to start something and not finish it and I want to keep it that way. Some weeks business is so slow man haha I get discouraged at times I can’t lie, but then there are times when business is just BOOMING and those are the times that matter. Those are the times that make me remember why I started in the first place and why I have to keep going.

I overcome my challenges by continuing to stay positive, slow or bad days don’t last forever. I look at things like a marathon and not a race, one of my favorite rappers Nipsey Hussle used to say that faithfully and once I understood it fully it stuck with me. I don’t expect to be a multimillionaire business within a year of starting my business but trust and believe I’m going to stay dedicated and work to get there.

The biggest lesson I learned so far with running my business is to keep going. Keep. Going!!! At times you may want to give up and quit but you have to remember your vision and your why! Understand good things don’t come easy. Keep on going, in due time it’ll all come together and you’ll be able to appreciate the challenges.

I want the world to know that this young woman from Denver, Colorado is coming into this Health and Wellness world to make a difference and to make a positive name for myself! I want everyone to know that although my business, Ëverything Grëen Juice is just beginning, it is flourishing honey and it will soon be household name. I want to help, learn, teach, and grown with the community and even the world in every way possible when it comes to health and wellness and I hope everyone is ready!

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.
See I live in Houston. There’s something to do every single day of the week at all times haha. My friends know when they come out here we’re eating everything and everywhere! I take my friends to places like Lost and Found, Graces, Taste Bar, BBS Seafood, Crawfish Cafe, and even Creole Kitchen to eat. For happy hour and drinks Kona Grill, Prospect Park, Daiqs, Ador, and even The Livin’ Room are cool places to go. Now for the night life, the club scene definitely The Address, Kamp, Area29, and Dreams! There’s so many more places that I know I forgot, it’s crazy. Houston always has a dope museum district as well that I like and I a lot of people don’t know about it. There’s places like Fete832Studio where you can paint 2D art and be creative. There’s so many beautiful parks here to like memorial park, I try to walk around it every Sunday it’s nice.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First off I wanna thank God for giving me the drive, the strength, and the motivation to be able to work towards all my success. I also want to shoutout to my sisters and my mom because the unlimited support and love I receive from them is so unmatched! I also want to shoutout my best friends, they’ve always pushed me and motivated me to always do my big one and to never give up and that’s just what I need! In fact, my friend Alexi bought me my first juicer when I told her I wanted to begin this journey and for that I am forever grateful and appreciative for her.
