Today we’d like to introduce you to Kae Allure.
Hi Kae, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I am a 24-year-old Soufside Native who knew from the early stages in my childhood I was going to be an entertainer or someone who impacted my community in some influential way. I graduated in 2021 with my Bachelor’s degree in human resources management but I never let my degree limit me from pursuing the goals that I set for myself outside of 9-5 work life.
I was raised by two amazing women (my mother and grandmother). They always supported my dreams, whether it was college life, dancing, or a new business venture. To see them proud of me and my accomplishments, it created a drive in me to not see limitations in who are you or who you can be, and that grew the entrepreneurial spirit within me to want to share my light, knowledge, and experiences with others.
At age six, I used to record videos of myself as if had own my talk show. Not knowing that dream would become a reality in my adulthood.
Moving into 2022 was the time that I decided to make my dreams a reality and finally jump into the podcasting/journalism field. I took the time to understand the craft and learn from different mentors and experiences (both good and bad) which eventually led me to launch Kae’s Kissing Booth in the heart of Atlanta. On my Podcast, Kae’s Kissing Booth, I created a space for everyone to share their life stories, opinions and journeys to motivate the next person that anything is possible and you not alone. It’s always a Vibe on the Booth, so never know what you will get or learn when you tune in!!
That’s part of what I do and who I am that I enjoy. Creating a space where others feel can welcomed and creating unity within our community.
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?
Smooth Road?! No. I actually appreciate that it hasn’t been one because then there would be no room for not only my brand to grow but me as a person.
Prior to KAE’s Kissing Booth, I was part of a different show where I co-hosted. In that experience and taught me a lot of lessons and I have seen myself elevating out of that situation because at times, it made me feel like doing a podcast might be for me anymore. Not only that, around that time. I lost some family members and friendships. I was going through all these events while still working a full-time job and getting my master’s degree.
One thing I will say is, When you take yourself out of the moment, you realize that you can never allow the next person to make you feel like something that is destined for you isn’t anymore. Yes, you might have start over… Yes, you might have do it alone but don’t quit.
Your L’s prep you for blessings!!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
What sets me apart at this moment, am I a one-woman show! This means that I do all the graphic designs, editing, merch, sound engineering, and bookings and meetings all by myself. I take pride in my craft, these are all skills that specialize in, I just enjoy learning new skills that can better me down the line. This creates that mindset of there is never an excuse because I know how to maneuver in different roles and settings.
I am proud of myself that I’m not giving up on this dream and that I am well – rounded in all do. I just created my Kae’s Kissing Booth merch that is soon to launch and I have more business plans soon to come!
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Whatever goals, dreams, or passion you have do it. You are only person stopping yourself when you say it’s impossible and don’t let others determine who are going to be.
One of my good friends / photographers told me the other day to speak positivity into your life. Don’t say you can’t do something say it’s obtainable as long as you pray, put the work in, and believe it meant for you.
In life, you had to take certain risks and understand what’s worth your energy and what not
I’m so excited for what I have inshore and what’s to come with KAES KISSING BOOTH and I’m EXCITED TO BRING YOU All ALONG FOR THE JOURNEY!
