(SISS) I know we asked you this before but we would love to know currently, can you take us through a typical day? From Waking up to going to bed, can you give us a play by play of a typical day for you? (Aisha Simone) Of course, I think I’ve grown from the last time we spoke and made some changes in my everyday routine. When I go to bed I meditate before I go to sleep. That helps me have a full nights rest with a drive and positive mental state of mind the following day. Before getting out of bed in the morning I take that first 20 minutes and pray and be grateful by saying what I’m grateful for to myself out loud. I do this before I get out of bed. From there I keep it simple, shower, greet my family, cook and I’m in my home office. If I’m Not booked for a gig I’m in my office by 10am to 4pm Monday- Friday.

I’m such a foodie, I love to eat but these days since I been booking more shoots, I need to stay in shape. I cut a lot of carbs out. I focus on working out four times a week, drinking tea twice a day, salad 3-4 times a week, avocado toast, protein (peanut butter, eggs and chicken) one cheat day a week. Maybe two. I started eating diner earlier also, that plays a big part. I haven’t eaten red meat in months, I replaced it with ground turkey meats instead. Turkey chili, turkey burgers or turkey spaghetti for example. (SISS) In the line of Entrepreneurship, if you could give your five years younger self advice what would you say to her about business? (Aisha Simone) I would say we came a long way, I don’t regret anything I’ve done or mistakes I’ve made.

(SISS) Something personal to you like a relationship or family, if you could give your five years younger self advice what would you say to her? (Aisha Simone)
I would say good job with building your confidence. I think it goes back to understanding what my identity was. I’ve made mistakes and hung out with the wrong people, got in the wrong business deals, been used, I’ve been stolen from and all of that has created a strong, confident unbreakable woman.

I still struggle and it takes me multiple clips to get it get it right. I will say this, I have a camera with a flip screen to see myself that’s helps me. It takes time, when I’m modeling I’m in my alter ego and I’m in a zone. When I’m video recording for YouTube it’s a different feeling that I’m still working on.
