Golden Sh*t

12. Infusing Authenticity Into Your Business with Celisia Stanton


Listen Later

Celisia is Minneapolis-based wedding and portrait photographer, debate coach, and racial justice educator. She started Celisia Stanton Photography in 2016 because she loved capturing intimate moments that could be cherished for years to come. A former debater herself, Celisia also coaches high school debate and is the co-founder and co-director of the Minnesota Debate Institute, an affordable and accessible summer debate camp for high schoolers centered around a social justice educational philosophy. In the summer of 2020, she grew her Instagram account @celisiastanton into an education and dialogue space for folks committed to racial justice and the liberation of all people. Outside of traditional work, Celisia is a cupcake connoisseur, expert on binge-worthy reality tv, and the proud mother of three cats (Jean-Jacques, Piedmont, and Newton).

Her big mistake she made scaling her business: being afraid to show up 100% authentically as herself.

In this episode, we talk about the vitality of infusing your personality into your business, and how it is not only important to show up as your true self in every element in your business, but how it actually propels your business forward—attracting your dream clients by narrowing your niche. Once Celisia changed the way she showed up in her business and stopped feeling like she needed to have a separate business persona that was more palatable to a wider variety of people, it allowed her to be truly authentic and transparent about all aspects of who she is, which importantly includes her ideologies, values, and perspectives on the world. She saw a giant spike in her business when she finally stepped into her truth within her business, also attracting her ideal client just by doing so.
