Rising Stars: Meet KINGRIQUOSUAVE

Today we’d like to introduce you to KINGRIQUOSUAVE. 

Hi KINGRIQUOSUAVE, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey began the night I was over my best friends house crying because of the way I was feeling about myself and the way I was thinking of how certain people in my life felt about me. I was very mentally unstable in the past and had a very hard time dealing with my own mental. That night he gave me some very powerful and inspirational words of encouragement in general and about how he felt about me. My tears of sorrow instantly turned into tears of joy. He said the words “CREATE” & “BUILD” that night that instantly sparked my brain and gave me the determination to want to go out and connect to others who may have felt like me in that moment to not feel that way about one’s (SELF). I realized that we have the power and ability to create and/or build the reality we want. So, I set myself out on a mission with one goal in mind. “Unlocking My Full Potential!” One thing about me is that I’m an artist. Once I fully grasped the fact that I have a beautiful gift with art, I understood that meant I have a gift for creating. So, I wanted to see how creative I can be spreading my message of being kind to “Self” first then others. That’s how my journey all started; I began uploading TikTok videos thinking that I was motivational but quickly found out from literally all the feedback I was receiving that I was inspirational. That’s how I discovered a part of me. A lot of people always told me I’m going to be something special one day, but I never truly caught on to why some people always told me that. I now know that whatever it is I’m blessed with that’s instilled inside of me is what I’m now seeing what they saw in me! I don’t think I’ve ever truly believed in myself more than I do now. I feel as if I just believed that I could do certain things in the past because people told me I have the potential to make it but that didn’t necessarily lead me to the conclusion of believing in myself. I just believed I could get to where they saw they wanted me to be. I noticed that I’m a visual artist. I’m always trying to get people to be able to see what it is I’m saying rather than hearing. I try to paint a picture in other people’s minds with my words so they can see what it is I’m saying in their head in which we consider imagery. It’s one thing to be able to hear someone’s point of view but it’s a lot more understanding when you can see one’s point of view. That’s what lead me to content creating. I’m a very positive person despite the wars and battles I went thru fighting my own mental. Now that I truly believe in myself, I want to work for myself doing what I love to do, create! I’m an up-and-coming entrepreneur, producer, videographer, and photographer! I’m now applying myself with the skill that I have with art to go out and be able to help others get people to see what it is they want others to see. I attended Alabama A & M University for 3 years but didn’t finish but I’m not letting that stop me from achieving my goals in the business world. Anything is possible if you set your mind to it and never give up. That’s what made me get into doing visuals to show others that anything is possible. I’m running a kindness movement that all boils down to mental health awareness in which I want to be more active and engaged in, that’s what this is all about. I believe that sometimes Kindness cost therefore I’m taking my perspective on that to start my business. I’m currently working on building a brand with a team I have who are also creative geniuses in their field! We will be coming out with YouTube shows soon for those who want to follow and support us in our journey of creating and building the lifestyle we envision for ourselves with our talent to spread the message of being kind. 

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely isn’t a smooth road due to the fact that I’m building everything from scratch. The toughest part of my journey is the unknown. Not knowing what it is that I don’t know. I don’t know what problems I’m going to come across until I stumble across those problems and now, I have new setbacks being brought to my attention. Being that I’m up and coming in a few different aspects such as being an entrepreneur and producer. Trying to put the business aspect into effect with my talent and movement. Paperwork, Copyrights, Intellectual Property, What I can and can’t do, etc… That just takes up more time. Time is valuable. That’s why that’s the biggest challenge in my life because I’m a very good problem solver but I try to solve problems before they can actually be a problem so that things can go smoothly but things don’t always go according to plan so I just have to remind myself in those moments that, that’s just life. You will have problems regardless so embrace the journey. I try not to stress to much about it, rather I take myself back to the basics of what I know, which is problem-solving. There’s always so much to learn and learning isn’t the issue, I love to learn. It’s just I don’t want to come across problems that involves stopping my process of what I want to create and spreading my message of kindness. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m known for my inspirational content I’ve been producing lately. I consider myself a creative genius. I’m a Visual Artist who loves to produce beautiful raw content with what’s presented to me in life. I love life, I think it’s very beautiful. I’m a content creator, photographer, videographer, and editor in both fields! I use my skill to bring a message of kindness to people’s visual! That’s what sets me apart from others. The fact that I’m always trying to connect myself to others in every way possible to bring my message of kindness to your attention with street lingo in a professional way. I have a unique style that I bring to the table using kindness as my foundation. I am the #1 Trap Inspirer just out here trying to slang some pure (Genuine) kindness on the block! I want to connect to people in my community who look like me and others in the world who don’t look like me to understand just because I look and talk a certain way doesn’t mean I’m making the wrong choices in life. That’s why I refer to what I do as slanging kindness on the block. I’m trapping in the right way. I’m pushing and moving a legal product. I’m out here just wanting to do the right thing in my own way selling my skills and services instead of drugs or making money in an illegal way. I want people to understand we shouldn’t be judging each other by the face of our cover, we shouldn’t be judging at all. By far I can say I’m most proud of who I’m becoming during this lifelong journey I started venturing out on. You never know who you truly are until you’ve reached a certain level in your life you didn’t think you can get to until you’ve pushed yourself to unlock a new element in your life. I’ve started formulating what I call The KINDNESS KHRONIKLES, it’s my daily aspirations to help others with a positive message to remind them of messages they should be letting theirselves know. Believe it or not, The Khronikles started from a day of me feeling uninspired! And that’s why The Khronikles is so important to me. They’re first and foremost daily aspirations to myself, self-reminders that I’m posting for myself and I’m just sharing it with the world. Be Kind to self-first then others, That’s the Khronikles Way. It’s a self-care, kindness, and mental health awareness movement all in one. It’s a lifestyle, a way of life I want to start living by. 

Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
When searching for a mentor, I highly suggest making sure that you understand your mentor’s mindset. Great minds think alike so you should always search for someone you feel is on the same page as you as far as your views and beliefs in life. Someone who is making the right decisions and can help guide you in the right direction. A mentor should be someone your definitely comfortable with, someone you know who won’t hold the truth back from you, someone you can actually go to with any information you wish to converse about and have full confidence in the confidentiality of what you talk to them about, someone you can trust 100%. Some people may believe that you shouldn’t trust anyone 100% but there are some good people out here with very good intentions. I’d like to say I’m one of those few people! There aren’t really enough kind people out in the world. That’s why it’s important to take caution when networking. You don’t want to find yourself involved in a situation you didn’t want to be a part of. It’s ok to let people know you don’t want to do business with them or collaborate with them or affiliate yourselves with them period. It’s your life. Yes, life is a risk but sometimes you may have to pass up certain opportunities just for the sake of your own mental. I don’t want anyone ever feeling like they should’ve listened to their selves or that gut feeling they had. I rather them have listened to themselves and missed an opportunity and know that there will be another opportunity waiting because you can always go back out and create the path you still find yourself to be at one day! When I’m out networking, I don’t care who you are, I’m scanning your character and how you treat others. If you are a rude person, I don’t want to do business with you, period. Your mindset will show me exactly who you are alongside time, which is another important aspect to consider when it comes down to networking. Take your time because time always tells. You will figure out what time wants to tell you when the right time has come.
