We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ezra-Shaun Lamar a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Ezra-Shaun , we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
Well…. growing up I was the black sheep at home and a “ugly”, “weird”, and “different” at school. Years of being told different things from siblings and classmates have given me strength that noone couldn’t even imagine. While the crowd was telling one thing, I was telling myself that I am somebody and the world will be filled with people that has a good of a soul like me.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
At the moment, I create music, model, and I am also trying to become an actor as well. My passion behind the camera enlightens my soul and opens up new waves for me to learn and explore. Ive also perform my song, Official, at the sunset rooftop in Hollywood.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Don’t stop because someone let tell you “no” or “you cant” or “you’re not good enough”. The people that speak upon those words are enemies, family included. Learn from mistakes and ALWAYS TRY AGAIN. One person “no” will be someone else’s “yes”.
Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?
Spend it traveling to places with my mom. Id love to take her to Niagara Falls and Vegas to see the spare
