Story & Lesson Highlights with Mahogany Clark of Fayetteville

Mahogany Clark shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Hi Mahogany, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: When have you felt most loved—and did you believe you deserved it?
I have felt most loved when, someone can see the genuineness in me without me having to fight to prove myself, as if I’m not already worthy.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am Author, Veteran, and student Mahogany Clark, from Miami FL, I am 26 year’s old and I have self published. I wrote and self published my first book at 19 year’s old, while I was active duty, and I’ve been writing ever since. Writing is extremely healing for me, and I will write regardless if anyone reads, but I share my story and my experiences to help and inspire others as I already have.

Okay, so here’s a deep one: What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
I use to believe that I would be lucky to see 18 and that I would actually reach some form of internal peace and happiness. I am now 26 and I have realized happiness and peace is up to me not the things outside of me and whatever the situation it is, what I make it.

What’s something you changed your mind about after failing hard?
I changed my mind about wanting to own multiple semi trucks after I owned one at 21 while active duty. Wayyy to much overhead costs for me lol

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
The public version of me is the real me, and I am also versatile with my personality, but everything I post is genuinely who I am, no person is one way, but I will say who I post is my higher self, but of course also things I actually do in my day to day life.

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
I would stop, caring so much about why someone may have not seen the love and value I was offering to them. Even though they may have seen it and thought it was just too much.
