Today we’d like to introduce you to LillieMarie Smith. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Lillie Marie was born and raised in Rochester, NY. She is the baby of the family, raised by a single mother, along with her two older siblings and a host of cousins. Throughout her school career, she was singing in the studio and a part of a dance group called “TAT”. Lillie Marie decided it was time for a change in her life and made a confident migration to the south, landing in Atlanta, GA., where life is different, but different is good.
Lilie Marie is currently employed in corporate America as a Recruiter Coordinator. She knew there is more she liked to contribute of herself to the world and the desire to leave an imprint on the world.
Lillie Marie stepped out on faith and with ventured into starting a catering service business called RNL Meals. Lillie Marie has always taken pride in owning what she does and her passion for creating beautiful, tasty dishes was the new art. Getting into shape was the name of the game for Lillie; so she started to do meal prep meals and sell workout gear under her corporation.
Always standing out among the normal ways of life, Lillie Marie dares herself to be different. When others did not believe in her ability to be successful, she believed in her faith, herself, her family, her church, and her God to share her overflow of love onto others. She is also an Author of a book, Lily in the Valley. She has been on the Stoney Love Radio Show, was a guest speaker at The Sisterhood Project organization, and also provided mentorship for the teens with Miss Black USA Pageant.
Lillie Marie is a mother of two beautiful daughters, Laylah and Lyric. She exemplifies the example of courage, tenacity, and determination to her daughters daily with hopes of always being the best. She encourages both of them to be all that they can be and to dream of all they want to be! She teaches them to never let others and life get in the way of creating their own individual paths and asking for their heart’s desires.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It’s never easy walking by faith however if you understand faith you lean on God’s words. I moved to Atlanta when I was 18 years old and started my journey. I knew to work hard and apply myself to push to be better.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I love to empower the mind. Helping others find their strength is a absolute pleasure for me. I’ve always been the one people can lean on and trust. I started to mentor young ladies and by doing so God birth a book out of me. (Lily in the valley -Life is a Journey so I walk in faith-) Sharing a piece of my story to help others has been pleasure to me. Yes I’m an Author! It all started off with my catering business named RNL Meals. I have Financial journals/planner e-books ; I love that I can help others and show them how to invest and grow money to help out with their finances because If that’s not right it can cause fear and with that brings anxiety over finances.
I’m the Co-founder for BTS Awards; where we celebrate the stars behind the stars!
I’m also a sister in the Zeta Alpha Phi sisterhood; where we do community service and get together for bonding activities as well as empowering woman of all walks of life.
Yes I’m a busy women and I’m just getting started!
What matters most to you?
What matters most to me is being able to show my daughters how to handle business and show them how to focus on what’s important. We all make mistakes but don’t allow that to define you.
Leaving a legacy for my kids is very important to me however showing them the power of prayer and how to apply their faith is everything to me as a Mother.
I’m very transparent with my story because it allows other’s as well as my daughters to understand that you may go through some struggles and some trials but as long as you apply your faith and continue to work you will come out on the other side; to blessings and overflow!
