We had the good fortune of connecting with Kashjmier Odna and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kashjmier, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Without risk where would you be ? People usually think of the term “ risk “ as something hazardous or frightening, when in reality it’s about taking a specific direction with full trust on your intuition.

Risk taking isn’t really playing a role in my life right now although you can say in the past it was logical concept to rely on when you’re hungry in the game. As of right now you know It’s more of a “ trusting the process “ type of outlook & mindset. I cannot see failure, only lessons to help one push further.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am going to say it like this, it started hard still is hard never an easy thing to conjure up free energy and Channel it on a canvas. This process taught me a lot as far as discipline while having pressure on your shoulders, learning how to let things be what they want and not what you would like for it to be. All types of simple jewels we overlook daily cause our lives are so “ complex “.

Just want the world to know that my story is sacred, will hear more in the future.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
This isn’t really my type of thing although I would recommend The Smith restaurant in NYC by the Flat iron building or Some type of Italian restaurant, as for attractions & hanging out I can say probably a walk through soho, snap some photos nothing too crazy.

I’m usually the friend who visits to receive the “ tour “
