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

Hi Krishauna, putting aside the decision to work for yourself, what other decisions were critical to your success?
The most important decision I’ve made that contributed to my success was JUST STARTING!!! I held on to my ideas and the desires of my heart for a long time before I presented it to the world. I can thank fear for that! lol I was scared, scared that people wouldn’t receive my brand the way I wanted them to or that no one would support me. The day I launched my brand, that fear was gone! It feels incredible sharing my gifts!

Please tell us more about your business. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today business-wise. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
What sets my brand apart from others is the fact that I’m willing to respect my pace! Im not in a race with anyone. I have a whole vision for my brand that hasn’t necessarily been presented in full, but in due time it will! So everyone should be excited! lol Im extremely excited for whats to come for STYLYN boutique in the next couple of years! I think the fact that I understand that building a brand is definitely more about the challenges that come along with it vs. the actually brand is how I got where I am today professionally. Going after entrepreneurship is tough, but it builds character! Me personally, the character building is whats important. If you focus on building your character and allow your dream to make room for you, you’ll always win! Its extremely hard some days, you literally want to just say forget it lol, but prayer and a ton of self reflection is my recipe to getting out of those tough times! I just want the world to know that STYLYN boutique is just getting started, and I hope you choose to come along for the ride.

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 would get a nice Air BnB in the city! It wouldn’t take a lot at all to live our best life!! Lol Im a simple girl so just bar hopping in Deep Ellum would make me so happy! lol I also like going to “The Harbor” in Rockwall to enjoy the view of the water and taking a trip on a boat is such a VIBE. Ofcourse, margaritas and shots would definitely be in the mix!

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?
First and foremost, I would like to thank God! I remember reading a book called “How to Hear From God” by Joyce Meyer! I recommend that book to EVERYONE!!! Reading that book was a game changer for me! I would also like to shout out to my support system! My family, everyone who has purchased from me or shared my content on any social media platform, they all deserve credit! Also, the individuals who slide in my DM’s letting me know how proud of me they are even if we haven’t spoke in years, that means so much and it helps me to keep going on those hard days! I know many people just see the final outcome of you creating, but they aren’t there when you are struggling to keep going, and doubting yourself. These people have lifted me up when I desperately needed it, and I will forever be grateful for them!!
