Meet Summer Day | Motivational Speaker, Artist, Dancer, Poet, Social Media Influencer

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

Hi Summer, do you have some perspective or insight you can share with us on the question of when someone should give up versus when they should keep going?
When you think about giving up that means you no longer believe that all the talents/gifts you have serve you any purpose. Think about It, imagine you give up the day before you receive the biggest breakthrough of your life. The only thing that hurts is thinking about when the breakthrough will come. Thats the thing, you never know. There are some things we can be very sure about though, having consistency means you can look back two months later and not be the in the same place as you were before. As you grow in whatever goal you are trying to reach, there are things you realize you want to change about your business and etc. Giving up isn’t an option when the gift you have is similar to others but unique, and you’re depending on YOU to become successful not a 9-5. Imagine giving up, and 5 years of doing nothing haunts you forever vs 5 years of a pruning and consistency process. If you keep doing what you always doing, then you’ll get what you always got. That could be either everything, or NOTHING.  Stay motivated.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’ve been set apart since before I was born, everyone is born to be different but me… and I’m sure there are others who feels this way, but me, I’m unique. There is something about me that lights up every room that I walk in. The way I walk, talk, dress, and carry myself amazes me. I don’t only look at the outer appearance, but my heart, the way I’m a girl’s girl really blows my mind. Anybody can say that they are a girl’s girl, but the actions are in the way we move with each other. I’ve learned that having integrity, morals, confidence, and a pure heart is better than having everyone on this earth to like you. If you want to be liked by everyone, a reality check needs to be in action, and that’s okay because that use to be me. I didn’t feel like I wanted everyone to like me, but I wanted everyone to be happy, even if that meant putting myself last but I’ve learned to set boundaries. What I’m most excited about is how I’m about to shock the world with the places God is taking me. I thought I  was confident in myself before a relationship with him, but now it feels secure. No one can open and close any doors in my life but him.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
BB Sundays!!! I love it. it’s a beautiful brunch spot that have amazing food, DJs, staff, and the venue in itself is so beautiful. the aesthetic of this place is top notch. I believe it’s the hottest brunch spot in Fort Lauderdale. The menu changes every hour, so there are so many options you can choose from. They bring celebrities out there every other week to host. In my view I believe the chill but fun places to go to is this place called Da Cave, they have karaoke there on Tuesdays and it really be a vibe. I just tried their chicken alfredo pasta for the first time and omg!! I have to grab food every time I go now. Also, the lemon drops are the best on the menu to me.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to give a shoutout to God, My Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. I didn’t give him enough credit in my life growing up. I was bought to my lowest and he found me. Everything that I need is in him. Going through what I’m going through I would’ve gave up a long time ago if I didn’t know the God I serve. I would also like to shoutout this special guy name Idi, I’m amazed at how someone can genuinely stick by my side knowing the things I’ve been through since we met. Not everyone has the patience to hang on and push you when you’re going through it. I Love You So Much Idi.
