Meet Krystal Garner

Today we’d like to introduce you to Krystal Garner.

Krystal, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Born and raised a New Yorker, Staten Island in an underprivileged neighborhood to be specific. I’ve chased my dreams and have had many successes and failures but never gave up! Being cast in a show that focused on highlighting the abilities of true hustlers was an honor. Now, I get to take my hustler spirits to Atlanta and work for T.I.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Any road worth traveling will have many bumps. Majority of the struggles I’ve faced were in direct relations to going full time freelancing. Entertainment has no true path, so I faced discrimination in modeling and lack of opportunities in acting combined with lack of resources and finances. Unfortunately, we don’t get paid for suctioning but we have to keep auditioning. Many doors close but you have to have an unwavering belief in your talents to prosper. That faith in myself allows me the vision to climb over the stumbling blocks.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Krystal Garner, Winner of BET’s The Grand Hustle w/ T.I. story. Tell us more about your work.

Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I believe my “luck” is all God. My faith and foundation have gotten me through the good times and the bad times. We need both, the best way to learn a lesson is from experience. Having the mindset that the “tests” are the base for “testimony” has kept me prepared for my challenges in life and in Business.
