Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Necia B. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Necia, so excited to have you with us today, particularly to get your insight on a topic that comes up constantly in the community – overcoming creativity blocks. Any thoughts you can share with us?
It takes time to overcome these blocks. I always tell people including myself when it gets to the writer block or creativity block focus on something to clear your mind because sometimes it can be a lot of ongoing things running through your mind that it’s hard for you to thing and focus on the main thing. Take ten deep breaths, meditate, run or walk around the block a few times or how many times you can to reset your mind. Resetting your mind helps a lot to regain the strength to get back into that creativity and passion that you truly love doing. Having that self care moment means a lot to your body and mind as well as your writer block moment.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I’m an entrepreneur, actress,writer,poet, and author. I love everything that I do. I always wanted to be an actress every since I was little I always acted out all of Tyler Perry movies and plays just to entertain myself and others and when I turned 18 i got my first shot in a music video and it was so exciting and fun because you got to meet other people who loves doing what you love and see how things are done behind the scenes. Writing as been my passion since I was 12 to express my feelings and voice my opinion which I am still learning how to do because I never was taught how to express myself and when I did i became the problem so i stopped expressing myself and started shutting myself down again and just wrote how I feel in a journal which I ended up turning into poetry now I have my first poetry coming out called ‘The ride of my life”. which releases on 3.13.24 but can be pre-ordered on 1.1.24. Entrepreneur I started doing that when I got laid off my job and I wanted to try something new out to see where my creativity skills are at and i started doing charm bracelets and customized clothing and fell in love with it every since then I’ve been on go with showing off my talented skills and putting my face and brand out there more. It’s a blessing to do what you love and use your talent that God has blessed you with before you close your eyes and take your last breath. Don’t waste it trying to please other people.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
The best knowledge that were most impactful in my journey with my dreams and dream career is surrounding myself around positive people with the same mindset and work ethic as you don’t surround yourself around negative people because those negative people can bring you down and have your blessings block. Push yourself to your full potential and don’t give up because when you give up it make you look like a failure and you’re not a failure. You’re a human being who will have bumps in the road but you get back up and climb to the top and don’t look back . Only look back to grab the rest of your folks that been through with you from the bottom to the top and never turned their backs against. Always put yourself first and love yourself first cause at the end of the day when you fold ain’t nobody going to be there to carry you but that Man above and yourself. Always remember to turn your pain into power and remember that you’re raised by the hustle and enlightened by the struggle.
Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?
When i feel overwhelmed which is most likely just about every other week. I’ll just listen to gospel music, watch Golden Girls to get some laughter or I’ll read a book, write in my journal, nor I would write some poetry to ease my mind and body.
