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

Hi Amanda, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I think for the both of us having completely full-time jobs on top of being a small business owner, we kind of learned to manage both pretty well over the last year or so. We both have pretty hectic schedules on top of being Mothers, but we get it done. So if we get to a point where we are booked or super busy with work, we either tag team it together or make arrangements to make sure we have an extra set of hands to help with the business aspect. I wouldn’t say it has risked our life or careers because we both are pretty good with planning- we (knock of wood) really have got really great with time management and making sure everything is good on the business and our career side of things.

What should our readers know about your business?
We are just 2 Mothers that decided to go for it! To bring our vision to life! Though it hasn’t been easy, we just keep going! As the years go by, we just always try to find better ways to satisfy our customers and ways to be better at what we do. & I think that is our goal, just to continue to keep getting better and growing our business!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Uptown def has some good spots! Maestros, Willie G’s!! The best! & you can’t forget about Crafty Crab on 290! To get your crawfish fix!! Houston is such a diverse city, so we have all types of cool places and good food spots!

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?

Our friends at@gimmegomashtx, @themdamnmexicans .. so many to think of!… of course our family as well! So many names i can’t think off the top of my head! But you all know who you all are! & I mean we just admire any woman out here trying to build something from nothing! The hard work that goes behind it- the good and bad! We really just lookup to that!
