We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ashlee Bankz a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Ashlee , thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
I get my resilience from my grandmother. My grandmother is the person who showed and taught me strength, but most importantly how to keep going forwards and not backwards. She has been preaching/teaching me resilience since a child.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I’m a rapper, songwriter, singer, producer and entrepreneur. I own a record label called Rosemoor Entertainment (Rosemoor Records). I have a bunch of new ventures on the way such as new music, a cannabis line, a streetwear brand, and a bunch more cool stuff in the works. All things music, fashion, and film, I have my hands in!
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?
The three qualities that were the most impactful in my journey would include spirituality, learning patience/timing, and knowing when to be a student versus when to be a leader. My advice to people who are early in their journey would be to be a student. Always be teachable and keep an open mind. Explore & make mistakes.
Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
When I feel overwhelmed, I acknowledge it. My advice to people would be to be aware of how you feel and most importantly know and understand why you feel that way. My favorite strategy is to take a moment to sit still and cancel out the noise an from there find a solution to getting back on track mentally which often for me includes solitude.
