Describe the Living Leah Channel & Fresh Daily Inc? How would you describe your personal style? Living Leah YouTube focuses on all things Leah J. You are able to see me in different forms ranging from being a Mom to a Business Woman. My personal style is based on comfort. If I am comfortable in it, I will wear it — whether on trend or not. I just do me. Fresh Daily Inc has evolved into many things and currently focuses on all things I consider fresh; which includes — people, current events, inspirational pieces, celebrities, exclusive one-on-one interviews and event coverage. What is the motivation behind #greyhairmagic? What inspired you to start your blog? So, I figured that why not just go full on grey during my journey of creating these various platforms and building my brands or brand as a whole and attract all the wisdom I can possibly attract to help me along my journey. I just think wisdom and strength go hand in hand and I’m putting out into the universe and embracing it entirely. There’s a myriad of reasons. However, the most important was finding an outlet for talent such as myself to receive recognition not based on popularity; but based on talent. Hence, Fresh Daily Inc was created. Who influences your style? Who are your style icons? What opportunities have been afforded to you since you’ve started blogging? There’s a few ladies who influenced my style: Blogging has allowed me to network with Industry movers and shakers, be featured in notable publications such as this one, cover popular events as media/press,and partner with other outlets and business owners. All of this has generated brand exposure for my brands not just locally, but across the US. What has been the most rewarding experience since you began? I have had multiple rewarding experiences — most of them have been i nternally...Taking the physical aspect of being in the moment and allowing things to evolve into something bigger, such as a goal or my next venture has been truly rewarding. Tracee Ellis Ross – I would describe her style as effortlessly chic. Kelly Rowland – Her style has evolved and matured and I like it! Majorie Harvey – She’s just dope. She’s older; but has managed to find the balance of staying up to date without seeming like she’s trying to be young. Teyana Taylor – because her style is hardcore and very androgynous. What is something that your fans do not know about you? I am obsessed with Cheese. Shredded SHARP Cheddar Cheese is so good. Add a nice glass of wine to that and I’m good, lol. NURA Magazine 45
