We recently connected with Tokyo West and have shared our conversation below.
Tokyo , so great to have you with us and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with the community. So, let’s jump into something that stops so many people from going after their dreams – haters, nay-sayers, etc. We’d love to hear about how you dealt with that and persisted on your path.
I have sayings I say to myself to keep me grounded and motivated. #1 ‘ Be so loud that it’s hard to ignore me’ #2 I never met a consistent person that didn’t make it.
#3 this is my calling not yours
#4 I’m doing what I said I was going to do and accomplish I’m really living my dreams.
So that’s how I persist by staying focused on the growth of Tokyo. I could really care less I’m a Scorpio lol.
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?
Hi again I am Sincerely Tokyo a fashion designer/ hairstylist/ seamstress here in Atlanta. My passion is fashion and hair also teaching the youth social media branding with my experience of social media skills I met all my hair clients from using hashtags .oneday hopefully I can bring this experience to Atlanta teaching the youth hair and social media branding. I also have a Patreon you can find me there ‘locs of swagg hair gallery’ where I teach and give out all my secrets.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Looking back I always had the best example of what type of business woman I wanted to be and that example was my mom who was also a hairstylist for many years. If I can give any advice stay consistent, professional and punctual it will give you longevity in this business. Also practice makes perfect.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
I would actually love to collaborate with other talented hairstylists, fashion designers not just in Atlanta but all over. I can be found on Ig @therealsincerelytokyo I have a link that will take you to all my medias
