Today we’d like to introduce you to Natasha Clarke.
Hi Natasha, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Born in the vibrant city of Kingston, Jamaica, my path led me to the United States at the tender age of six. From a young age, I held onto the belief that dreams were attainable with a resolute mind and unyielding effort. As I grew, my vision expanded, and by age sixteen, I had not only built a flourishing educational career but also ventured into entrepreneurship, setting up my own business.
Becoming a Notary Public in November 2020 and a licensed Realtor in March 2021, I harnessed the power of education and dedication to forge a unique path. Today I manage an esteemed notary business and serve as a licensed real estate agent. My entrepreneurial spirit had been evident since childhood – from selling packets of sugar Kool-Aid to launching a successful hair braiding business at age 13.
By age 16, my ambitions led me to establish an in-home childcare establishment, reminiscent of my very own version of the babysitter club, that catered to 20 children and employed two of my friends. I ventured to New York City at age 19, pursuing a dream of becoming a supermodel. For five years, I graced the pages of magazines, dazzled on runways, and made appearances in television and film.
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?
As a dreamer in America, I navigated challenges without access to healthcare or higher education. The path to entrepreneurship was marked by trials, failures, and the unyielding resolve to pivot and learn from each setback. The hardships endured were worthwhile, for the knowledge gained proved invaluable.
On a fateful day, January 5th, 2023, my life took an unexpected turn. A car accident left me unable to walk, thrusting me into a period of reflection and reevaluation. It was then that I understood the balance between introspection and forward momentum, recognizing the importance of holding a clear vision as I embarked on my divine purpose. I realized it’s ok to reflect, just don’t spend too much time looking back or you become lost there. Having a clear vision is important when walking into your divine purpose. Everything vibrates, so match the frequency of what you want to attract.
We’ve been impressed with Notary Natasha, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I became a Notary Public in November 2020 and a Realtor in March 2021. In 2022, my notary business received over 100 five-star reviews on Google making me the highest-ranked notary in east Atlanta. I provide strategic marketing and transaction management service to clients across the Metro-Atlanta market. My business is built on dedication, communication, determination, and trust. I am a practitioner of neuro linguistic programming; and believe “The power of life and death lies in the tongue”. I salute the divinity in all life and respect all. It’s not about what I said, it’s how I make my clients feel that matters most to me. I want everyone to know they’re important and their life has meaning.
Harnessing the power of energy and intention, I dreamt of wealth that transcends personal gain – wealth that manifests in opportunities for others to thrive. A resolute mission emerged, one that aimed to elevate wages, lower the cost of living, and create housing communities that mirrored the vision of the Venus Project. Drawing upon partnerships aligned with this purpose, I envisioned a future where economic disparities are addressed, and systemic change is ignited.
As I stand at this juncture, reflecting upon the journey from Kingston to Atlanta, I am reminded that life’s challenges are not deterrents but catalysts for growth. Each step taken, each obstacle surmounted, has contributed to the resilient spirit that defines my story. From the bustling streets of Kingston to the vibrant landscape of Atlanta, I am resolute in my pursuit of a purpose-driven life, leveraging the wisdom gained through trials to illuminate a path of change, empowerment, and prosperity for all.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Amid a profound shift in collective consciousness, we find ourselves on a transformative journey, emerging from the shadows of poverty and stepping boldly into the embrace of abundance. Envisioning the horizon of the next 5-10 years, a tapestry of unity and positivity unfurls before us. As individuals unite with a shared purpose, the landscape of possibilities begins to transform. The demand for homes, fueled by rising wages, is met with the construction of new foundations, symbolizing the rise of aspirations and dreams taking tangible form. Alongside this growth, a symphony of opportunities resonates, manifesting in a plethora of resources that cascade towards the masses. In my own pursuit of empowerment, I have embarked on a journey to share these invaluable resources through a YouTube channel—a virtual haven where knowledge, insights, and wisdom flow freely, illuminating the path towards a future brimming with promise and potential.
