We had the good fortune of connecting with Le’Brittany Smith and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Le’Brittany, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
At fifteen years old, I created my brand Gorgeous Chics’ to encourage women of all ages to see themselves as royalty. I wanted my brand to be a blog where others could read my story and find strength in knowing all ladies aren’t like the “typical image” portrayed in fashion magazines. Instead, we all have moments where we face insecurities, lack confidence, or need love from another supportive woman.

Through my brand, I strive to create a safe place for individuals to see the value in loving and believing in themselves. What separates G.C. from other brands is I design t-shirts that help to spread positivity and confidence amongst all women. Some of my favorite uplifting t-shirts state, “I’m THAT Gorgeous Chic, God Made me Gorgeous and Gifted, and Believe in Yourself Gorgeous.” Today, I no longer create blogs, but through my YouTube channel, I can continue to share the value of loving and believing in oneself through my own business.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Today, I am focused on launching my graphic design brand, G.C. Designs. I have always had a niche for designing flyers, business cards, and invites but have never promoted it as one of my gifts. Of course, I’m sad that I’m not producing new merchandise for Gorgeous Chics, but I wanted to permit myself to venture outside of the box. Starting a business, building a client list, and navigating life are not for the weak, and at times it is challenging. However, I know that my brand is a movement that’s bigger than me. It requires me to believe in myself and not quit. As long as I am moving in a direction that is pushing my brand forward and still walking in its purpose- I am whole. I want the world to know Gorgeous Chics Designs is a branding and marketing tool used to elevate a brand’s social media engagement and sales through graphic design. G.C. serves as an essential piece in marketing because it is an audience’s first impression of a brand. Through our innovative designs and graphics, we aim for entrepreneurs to be excited about bringing their visions to life. G.C. Designs’ top priority is making our clients’ dreams a reality. It does not matter if you are revamping your brand or starting with a fresh idea G.C. is here to see you to the finish line. We hope you will see we value your turn for all projects and have fast turnaround times. We are committed to producing quality designs that you will love.

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 go-to hotel would be visiting Omni Downtown Dallas. I am a fashion girl who loves shopping, so the next stop on my list is to take everyone to Northpark mall located in Dallas, Tx. This mall has all of my favorite luxury brands, beautiful scenery, and my favorite store- Zara. After visiting the mall, we would head over to Kitchen + Kocktails for lunch. I’m obsessed with their pecan chicken and waffles and strawberry patron margaritas. P.S. fun fact- I love frozen drinks! While downtown, I would encourage the girls to stop at the AT&T Discovery downtown to walk around and take some nice pictures. Next, we would drive down to Round Rock, Tx, and take a boat ride at the Harbor Lights. I also have to mention, that I love 7th street in Downtown Fort Worth and taking long walks at Trinty Park.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I am privileged to have been raised by both of my parents. I credit them for exposing me to what it means to value myself as royalty, which has become the premise for my brand Gorgeous Chics. My father showed me qualities that a king should possess; provider, safety, and love. On the other hand, my mother modeled characteristics that a woman with class carries; confidence, self-care, and strength. It was never a moment when I felt I needed to compare myself to others because she would always remind me I was in a class all by myself. These core values inspired my brand Gorgeous Chics to launch because I wanted other little girls and women to know they are royalty and don’t have to seek confirmation from outsiders for something already within.
