We had the good fortune of connecting with Levar “Ramzie” Kemp and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Levar “Ramzie”, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
Reflecting on the habits that have contributed to my success, I often consider these 10 steps as guiding principles. I utilize them to assess my current position, as well as to define the path I aim to pursue in order to achieve further success.

Consistency: Consistently working towards your goals, even if it’s in small increments, can lead to significant progress over time. Whether it’s practicing a skill, studying, or working on a project, maintaining consistency is key.

Goal Setting: Setting clear, achievable goals provides direction and motivation. Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks to make progress more tangible and attainable.

Continuous Learning: Successful individuals often have a thirst for knowledge and seek to continuously improve themselves. Whether it’s through formal education, reading, or hands-on experience, embracing a mindset of lifelong learning is crucial.

Time Management: Effectively managing your time allows you to prioritize tasks, avoid procrastination, and make the most of your available resources. This might involve techniques such as creating schedules, setting deadlines, and minimizing distractions.

Adaptability: The ability to adapt to changing circumstances and embrace new challenges is essential for success. Being open-minded and flexible enables you to navigate obstacles and seize opportunities as they arise.

Resilience: Facing setbacks and failures is inevitable on the path to success. Developing resilience allows you to bounce back from adversity, learn from mistakes, and persevere in the face of obstacles.

Self-Discipline: Self-discipline involves the ability to control impulses, stay focused on long-term goals, and maintain productive habits even when faced with distractions or temptations.

Networking: Building and nurturing relationships with others can open doors to opportunities, provide valuable support and guidance, and enhance your professional and personal growth.

Health and Well-being: Prioritizing physical and mental health is crucial for sustained success. Taking care of yourself by getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and practicing mindfulness can improve productivity, creativity, and overall well-being.

Reflection and Feedback: Regularly reflecting on your progress, seeking feedback from others, and being willing to adapt and improve based on that feedback is essential for continuous growth and development.

While these habits can contribute to success, it’s important to remember that success is subjective and can vary greatly from person to person. Finding the habits and strategies that work best for you and align with your goals and values is key to achieving fulfillment and satisfaction in your endeavor

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.
In a world inundated with fleeting moments of validation through likes and comments, I’ve chosen to focus on a different measure of success: the lives I inspire. I firmly believe that each of us is here for a purpose, and our journey should be defined by authenticity above all else.

My professional journey to where I stand today has been paved with relentless hard work, unwavering dedication, and countless sleepless nights. I’ve refused to accept anyone else’s “no” as my final answer, staying resolutely focused and viewing others not as competition, but as allies in our shared pursuit of success.

Throughout my journey, I’ve faced and overcome numerous challenges, including periods of homelessness, the loss of significant individuals in my life, and battles with depression. The road in my industry is unforgiving, but I’ve discovered the inner strength to persevere, allowing my light to shine brightly even in the darkest of times. I’ve come to understand that these trials are temporary, merely seasons in the grand scheme of life.

Through my platform, Snubb3d Magazine, I strive to uplift, motivate, and empower individuals from all walks of life. We believe in the power of positive messages, choosing to focus on beauty amidst the chaos and negativity that often permeate our world. It’s our mission to remind people to find joy and gratitude in the simple moments, to appreciate the greatness that surrounds us each day.

In essence, my journey is a testament to the transformative power of resilience, perseverance, and unwavering belief in one’s purpose. As I continue to inspire and uplift others, I hope to leave behind a legacy of positivity and empowerment for generations to come.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Choosing my favorite spots in the city is a tough task. I’m drawn to hidden gems, places off the beaten path. Whether it’s a speakeasy tucked away discreetly or a serene eatery by the beach or on a boat, I find solace in these tranquil settings amidst the chaos of life. I particularly enjoy visiting small, family-owned restaurants, where the food is prepared with love and authenticity, free from commercial influence. These moments offer a peaceful escape and a taste of genuine hospitality.

I’d like to express my deep gratitude to my wonderful family and friends for their unwavering support throughout my journey. A special shoutout goes to my fraternity brothers at the Xi Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., as well as all those who are part of this esteemed organization. I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to God, as without Him, I am nothing. His blessings have empowered me to navigate this beautiful life and stand tall on my own two feet.
