We’re looking forward to introducing you to Damiya Montgomery. Check out our conversation below.
Damiya , really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Being able to play basketball again
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Damiya Montgomery. I am a Georgia Native. My brand Mad Hoopz is based around male & female athletes that want to enforce change through the game of basketball. Mad Hoopz is multifaceted by offering community gatherings, sporting events, inspiring content and clothing.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. Who taught you the most about work?
My mother taught me everything about work. She used to always say “Whatever you do, do it like you are working for the LORD.” When I embraced that concept, everything began to fall into place.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I realized that pain was beneficial. It is so easy to allow discomfort, pain, struggles and trauma to be a crutch that ultimately creates a victim mindset. But I knew that whatever I went and go through, nothing is too big for me to overcome simply because Christ overcame it all.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
GOD, family and basketball
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Absolutely. The praises from the world are temporary. You can be relevant today and irrelevant tomorrow.
