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

Hi Ebony, what role has risk played in your life or career?
The role that taking risks has played in my career has been showing me what I am capable of. It helps me with my confidence and motivation. Knowing that I’ve stepped out in believing in myself and have succeeded. It keeps me motivated at continuing my journey of entrepreneurship.

What should our readers know about your business?
My business is real estate. I am most excited about helping families find their very first homes or forever homes. Helping people through professional guidance and understanding and showing them that their goal of purchasing a home is attainable. Servicing the dfw community can be a tough task but I am excited to teach people that investing in their living spaces is very important and can be one of the greatest investments.

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?
A weeklong trip with a friend would most likely result in many nights in with a bottle of wine ha-ha. But when it’s time to go out I would most likely take them on a scenic walk through the Fort Worth stockyards. Book a cooking class for a great bonding moment at The Cookery in Fort Worth or a great dinner night at sixty vines in Dallas in the Hotel Crescent Court.

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 two children are who I owe my success. They are who keep me encouraged and motivated to continue.
