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

Hi Yasmin, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I was always nervous and worried about starting my own business. However, I realized that if you don’t take a chance, you will never know whether you will succeed or fail in life. It became clear to me that taking a leap of faith is essential.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Everyone has a story to tell. We all go through lessons and experiences in life. One of the biggest challenges I have faced is learning to never give up on what you believe in or what you want to achieve. You will encounter obstacles and situations that may seem insurmountable. In the world of social media, you may face competition and jealousy from others who try to bring you down. However, it’s important always to stay positive.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I were to show someone around, I would definitely take them to Dallas and also to the West Legacy food hall to explore its diverse offerings. A must-visit would be Hutchins BBQ in Frisco, Texas, renowned for its delicious food. Additionally, I’d introduce them to charming shops like Escape 360, where they can enjoy a nice cup of coffee or tea. There are so many great options to choose from, but these are among my favorites. Lastly, I would recommend visiting the Frisco Fresh Market, where they can shop and support local small businesses while enjoying a lively atmosphere.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My most supportive person is my husband; he has always been the one who keeps me motivated and moving forward. I also want to give a shoutout to the community I’ve built in Montreal, Canada. I’ve worked with people who uplift me and acknowledge my successes. Additionally, I want to thank myself for always believing in my potential and for continuously working on my personal growth.
