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

Hi Kierra, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
I believe you’re taking a risk everyday just by living. Starting a business is just as big of generational risk as working a 9-5.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Becoming a photographer is not as easy as it seems. You can spend the first couple of years putting more into it than what you’re making. It’s a passion so I’ve kept going. The hardest part is relocating and having to try to find new clientele.

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?
Midtown is always a good time to have. There’s no many different sights to see. Such as art pieces, monuments, and food attractions.

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?
My biggest supporter has always been my mother. From the moment I brought up wanting to start a business she was there to help with anything I needed.
