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

Hi Crystal, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The thought process behind starting my business was, how can I provide generational wealth while doing something I’m passionate about? I wanted to do something that brought me pure joy while making a passive income for my family. When starting a business, it is so important to do something you are genuinely passionate about.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I honestly feel like my work sets me apart from others. I put so much love into everything I do. I love being the jade of all trades because the galaxy is the limit. I am really proud of the book, my son and I published. We have a Cursive and Print Handwriting Affirmation Workbook for kids on Amazon. I love the fact that I can share positive affirmations with my son and other children. I will also have an Academic planner with recipes in my next book, which I’m stoked to launch.

The lesson I have learned is that nothing comes easy, but you have to fully believe you already have it. I feel like, once you believe you are truly capable of everything, anything is possible with time. I work so hard to bring generational wealth to my family, so everything is a learning process. In order to succeed you have to fail, once you fail you learn and move forward. Everything is a learning process, but with time and practice, anything is possible.

I am a working muse, I work hard for everything I have and everything that is to come. I love what I do, so I put my love into everything I touch.

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.
My best friend in town I am taking her to taqueria tacos and The Scene DTX for a little paint and sip.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to shout out to my family! My family has been supporting me from day 1. My auntie Dana has been pushing me to my fullest potential and I greatly appreciate that. I want to give a shoutout to my mentor Vee, who is the owner of The Scene DTX, she has been truly supportive of my art journey.
