Today we’d like to introduce you to Mandisa Styles.
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?
I’m Mandisa Styles, Esq., the managing attorney and founder of The Styles Firm. I’ve always had a heart for entrepreneurship and creativity; The Styles Firm is my way of merging both into a business that helps others. Growing up, my family always said I should be an attorney. As a kid, I never understood why but I’m glad someone saw my gift and guided me on the path to law school. That’s the nice way of saying it, though, because I also never liked to be told what to do, so you better believe that I fought the idea of pursuing a legal career at every turn. I wanted to be a dancer, a singer, a writer, a famous painter. I even wanted to work in advertising and marketing at one point — you name it and I probably tried it or at least thought of trying it.
In the end, it was between a legal career and a career in business. It turns out, I didn’t have to choose because The Styles Firm is the seamless merge of both career paths. I’ve loved all things business, entertainment, and creativity for as long as I could remember. In fact, my first touchpoints with business, entertainment, and creativity happened as a young kid selling Girl Scouts cookies and school fundraising chocolate, dancing for a Christian dance studio and singing alto in my church praise & worship team, college choir, and law school acapella group. What started out as my mom forcing me to be a Girl Scout turned into the starting point on my journey to becoming an attorney for entrepreneurs, entertainers, and creatives. Who knew?
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey to this point has not been easy! It has had its ups and downs, for sure. Fear, doubt, and anxiety are thieves of passion and goals, but my faith in God has gotten me through my low moments. My life is filled with lots of support from my family, friends, and mentors; they have played a major role in helping me to overcome the difficulties of my journey. I’m forever grateful! The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to erase any socially constructed idea of a timeline. The things in my life will happen in God’s timing, and it’s not defined by society’s ideals. I could have avoided a lot of hardships if I had learned this sooner, but I think my journey will help the next person out there who needs another reason to keep going despite the odds.
