We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kayla Steele a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Kayla, thank you so much for joining us. You are such a positive person and it’s something we really admire and so we wanted to start by asking you where you think your optimism comes from?
My optimism comes from staying positive in environment regardless of what is going with through my challenges and giving others graces of cheering them on of living life though purpose of having faith as with my success about my future and knowing what out of my control of inner work and what is my control change your mind to be more productive
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I’ve been able to seek through in the industry of staying focused on my culinary career of raising myself through my mind body, soul , even though my mommy did pass away April 10’2018 it’s always best to stay positive along the way , as although of growing as godly goddess woman , I strive to challenges myself the greatness , I am focused on culinary arts professionally I started at Auguste Escoffier Culinary Arts School for my Associate Degree In Plant Based Cooking , as well i have Connecting Network Group chat that has over 250 entrepreneurs, I’ve had over four years through my journey it’s now i turned over into an website which is so amazing , i enjoyed of having an non profit organization and helping others through the world of coming together through of compassion of your career . It’s so amazing to have the expression of helping others , I am also known for cooking on Atlanta Beltline my most famous Street Tacos . Just Remember is all about staying positive , perseverance yourself through staying out your comfort zone , don’t care what the naysayers say .
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?
My main three qualities as a queen of art cooking I would say being the outcast of being different through my creativity , charismatic ,humility as building who I am as an person and giving my best efforts to showcase that everyday , I would say take your time in what your doing as for your profession of what you love doing , just do it and others care what other think , give yourself and boundaries so you don’t over do what you feel , also don’t be afraid regardless of anything i wasn’t any other human i started off of being medicated so when i stop taking the medicine that was Concerta which was when i was four year old , i realized i didn’t need it it made me feel like an zombie not an actual communctive human , so it was hard to mode with other as of business so i say this to say , as i develop through the years i deserve to challenge myself i stopped taking in 2018 when my mommy died , i wanted to see did i really need to survive through livelihood as an human which i didnt i graduated without the medicine which made me so happy , so just know the area of knowledge is through motivation through oneself of being bigger what you can extend through your soul and staying one path at an time .
Before we go, maybe you can tell us a bit about your parents and what you feel was the most impactful thing they did for you?
The most impactful thing my parents taught me as my mother is to extends yourself , through challenges through any barriers you can be successful , become what you need to be and seeing my mom made me so happy through anything to keep going regardless of what you are experiencing don’t do the same thing everyday try something different because you never know what you can become as through your profession , more than what you need to hang around people that challenge your difference value and morals of becoming an better woman .
