When you don't know something, you fear it, and when you fear it, you hate it, you oppose it, you fight it, or you convince yourself that you don't like it. We all have limitations, and they are real for everybody, but at some point you have to make the choice of not listening to those inner limitations At the end of the day, we are all scared in some way, we all feel not enough in some area of our lives, we all have experienced some kind of trauma, but to move forward, choose not to listen to those inner limitations, and just do that project, that thing, that performance, that piece of art. These are some of the things we talk about with today’s guest, a former professional Latin Dancer, a mother of 2 beautiful children, a wife, a creator, an artist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, business woman and a very kind soul. Burju Perez is the creator of Burju Shoes, a brand that celebrates diversity and aims at strengthening communities by highlighting the individual's inner confidence through fashion. Burju has collaborated with widely respected and talented names in the dance industry such as Kiira Harper, Nicole Kirkland and Janelle Ginestra. Burju heels have been worn by high profile music artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Normani, Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande, Cardi B, Hadise, Meg the Stallion, for numerous concert tours and award shows such as MTV’s Video Music Awards. With her we talk about her journey from corporate world, to a full time dancing career, to entrepreneurship, and mommy of 2, and about making conscious choices and also listening to the opportunities that life brings to you. How dancing is for her part of her identity and is also her therapy and medicine. How to access great opportunities, you have to take risks, and even though you can calculate some of the risks, at the end you have to make the jump and take a leap of faith. We talked about how to keep a business going into the “unknown future”, and the traits you need if you don't want a life or a world altering event to take you out. Like I said in the episode, Burju walks the talk, and she does so with style and in high heels!
