We had the good fortune of connecting with Aja MyQueen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aja, alright, let’s jump in with a deep one – what’s you’re definition for success?
Success to me looks like owning who you are without the need for external validation. We lose the course of our journey when we fixate on what other people feel about who we are and how we choose to live our lives. When we own who we are to the core, we accept that our journey will be different and that is okay. Seeing that who we are is good enough creates space for us to grow in love with our process.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I started creating 4 years ago, I didn’t know where it would take me but after time I became pretty hopeless. Nothing seemed to stick & I was getting tired of late nights & early mornings without any sign progress. I took a step back and saw what I was missing. I was missing ME! Nothing I was creating involved who I was. What I have noticed, people respect authenticity more than perfection.

Without knowing, I was not being myself, I was not introducing who I was to the people I was hoping to attract. Now, when you come to any platform of mine you will see me. I create a space of acceptance. I enjoy connection, I enjoy truth, laughter and a good time.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If I were to take a friend out, I would take them to Poetic Soul. Great food, amazing artist and a good time.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My girlfriend deserves praise for many things but one of them happens to be helping maximize my potential in all areas of my life. Because of her, I am a better friend, partner, creator; she has allowed me to grow in who I am today, with love and patience. Thank you Taylor.
