Today we’d like to introduce you to Soulley Simmons.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
To be in the position I am in today, it took understanding of self, & others, knowing who I am as a person, showing gratitude towards all things that were involved in my life. If there was a situation where it seemed 99% negative, by me keeping my faith and positive emotion in that 1% it shifts my mind realize how much of an opportunity to make the life I want become possible.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My life as a whole would be deemed as a movie from the outside looking in. Coming from a broken home, not being able to have a real relationship with my sisters and brothers, to attending college as a student-athlete & finally up till now where my car got totaled, moving from city to city in a time span of two months. There’s been times where I questioned few things, but I’ve always found myself keeping moving forward. A problem can accrue any time, but allowing myself to see over the horizon helps to always know that bad things don’t last forever, and now I’m on my way up to a better road
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a photographer that has a niche for cloning himself. I create an image where I use the camera frame as my canvas to position myself in different positions & poses to create the image that I have in mind. I edit and shoot my all work. This style of photography/creativity started to shed more light as I started to have more self-love for myself. I’m proud to just be me, which allows me to be creative. I’m currently working on a clothing brand where the message orbits the topics of self-evolution, manifestation, and diving more into what you feel might be a great idea. Now that I’m thinking about, I’m currently living in the message that the clothing brand represents. A phrase of being who you are by allowing yourself to feel all things of benefit and conflict to help better help understand yourself for better through your mind and soul. I believe my search of doing things that are more natural rather than forced is what sets me apart. Being genuine in my work is some that lets me know I’m happy with whatever it is being done, I’m just doing what I love and in hopes that it brings great positive vibes towards the people I meet along the way.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
Dallas is a great city. I’m from a small town in Florida that has one streetlight, so I can take it you could see the major difference from a highly populated urban area to a small rural area. I am not oblivious to the fact that although I may be from a small town, I tend to adapt to my environments wherever I go. Dallas is a city where you can find yourself and finding the resources to become a greater artist, person, or even just find yourself and you’re calling. I visited Dallas in the middle of July this summer, and I fell in love with the city, although I was a day visit. It’s crazy to realize that life had plans for me to live here in Dallas permanently for some time.
