We recently connected with Damondray Christle and have shared our conversation below.
Damondray , so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
I played sports growing up. I ran track so for track or any sport actually it is good to have confidence. So the confidence and self esteem started early because it is important that you have that as a kid as well because many don’t. I stuck with having confidence for anything I did because I believed that I could do it so I did. Plus also it’s good to have good positive people around who will uplift you and help you build your confidence if you lack in that area. So positive people around you is good plus just knowing who you are and what you can do.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I am an actor and filmmaker I have been acting for some years now and it is very exciting to continue this journey! I have been blessed to work with people from all over the world and it’s interesting to know their backgrounds and where they come from. I I’m in the process of finishing up a movie I created called First Love, Which will actually be premiering October 7th at Look Cinema in Dallas which you guys are invited to as well. More movies on the way and I just look forward to you guys seeing them all.
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?
I was very Sharp, detailed and goal oriented. I always wanted better for myself. Because I was that way it impacted my journey greatly because I knew that certain skill sets as well would help me grow along the way. To the people who are early in their journey just keep going and stick with your hearts desire and don’t give up because it gets hard. Continue to practice, study whatever you need to do that will make you greater than your yesterday. If you want it nothing will stop you from going after whatever your goals are and I believe you will receive what you have or going after indeed.
Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
I definitely listen to music. You know you can always go workout or just get active because you getting your mind off the situation. I think meditation and yoga can help many people because getting a good stretch in can help you just feel good throughout the day. Sometimes just doing whatever makes you happy and being free is good . You shouldn’t allow negativity to overwhelm you just enjoy your day and smile it will be alright.
