We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Daphnie Swift and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Daphnie, Let’s talk about principles and values – what matters to you most?
Integrity is one of the most valuable principals in my business. We have been in business for over a decade, and we have had government contracts for over a decade. Therefore, it is vital that our performance is top tier, and it is always our goal to provide honest, exceptional services.

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?
Being a business owner is not always sunny skies and happy days. Running a successful business as a young African American woman definitely has not been easy, but I strive for greatness each day. I wake up and tell myself, you can do this today. I pray daily, and I have an amazing support system. I’ve learned that as a double minority business owner, I must always strive to stay at the top of my game, be about handling business
getting the goals accomplished, and not being intimidated in a male dominated industry. I want the world to know that I have and always will be an advocate for small minority business owners, and that my brand, hardwork, and integrity that has been done will leave a legacy for my son and future generations. I want others to know that it is always possible to make dreams a reality.

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.
It is always great to spend time with friends. My bestfriend and I have many things in common. Therefore, planning great activities that we would enjoy would be easy. We would definitely try various restaurants, and I would look for different non-traditional restaurants, so we could experience new adventures. Shopping would be on the list, and we would visit various stores, but my bestfriend’s favorite store is Ross. She would want to visit at least 3 in different locations around the city. Relaxation and self care is a top priority for her, and I always love a great pamper session. Thus, this would lead us to a spa day of facials and massages.
