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

Hi Rehanna, do you have some perspective or insight you can share with us on the question of when someone should give up versus when they should keep going?
Hello! At times I do feel like giving up but then I remember it’s stupid to give up. Literally. I look back at all the process I made and I think to myself “why would I throw away all of that?” So that right there let’s me know to keep going.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a young brand ambassador, influencer, entrepreneur, up coming actor and model. I am most proud of me. How far I have came with my platform and how much work I put into it, people don’t realize it but being a brand ambassador is a lot of work. Getting to where I am today was not easy at all, I had a lot of ups and downs. I had to face the challenges and problems of being an influencer and I am still facing them today, but it’s worth it. I overcame those challenges by just not never giving up and always working. I am always working. No matter how down deep of a hole I am in, I always get out. One of the biggest lessons I have learned is that, you have to keep your personal life and business life separate, you have to learn how to keep things professional. You cant let your feelings get in the way or let them control you, you have to control them.
I want the world to know that my brand is everything I put my love and joy is, I might be very young but everything that you see I do, I did it on my own.

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?
I live in Houston, so the first thing I would take them is definitely down town! I’d take them to the galleria, aquarium and the festivals. The festivals and the concerts is the most fun place you can go to in downtown Houston. The people and energy there is always good.

I would love to thank my mom, she always give the best advice, she helped me through everything, drove me to my photo shoots and so much. My dad for always being there. And all the brands for helping me get my name out there. I would also like to give a shout out to my Aunt Valerie, she always helped me when the hate was at the highest.
