We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Mira Duriman. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Mira below.

Mira, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about serving the underserved.

I started Majour Mira, my PR Agency, when I was only 20 years old while completing college, coaching students at a swim club, and tutoring at all grade levels from pre-k to pre-college, SAT, and ACT.

Since COVID-19 affected my study flow by switching from in-person to virtual, I could only imagine how the transition and impact were for all my babies. Las Vegas’s school system is underfunded and unappreciated. So, it was my calling to teach my students the proper way to respect education and people since many of them lacked social skills due to being isolated for a long time!

I noticed that my students opened up very quickly to me about their issues at home, peers, and just life in general. I was like the big sister who would listen without any judgment. I did everything I could to study and teach comprehension because I knew that the foundational blueprint for the future depended on how my students perceived me as a professional, friend, and biggest supporter.

My babies would always draw me with new outfits and copy my swag the next day. Their parents would always shower me with tokens of appreciation because they sensed a change at home. Administrators also gave me multiple employee-of-the-month awards because I was always a team player and never shied from asking questions to enhance the quality of production.

Whenever I had the chance to perform, my students would be so curious about my stage preperation process. It got to the point where my fourth graders would ask to come to my shows, but I had to decline because my venues would be 21+. Then I sat back and asked myself, “Why can’t my favorite people in the world come to my shows?” I restructed my image and honed in on my purpose, which is to keep inspiring people to be the best version of themselves, no matter the age, color of their skin, or gender.

To be the best leader, you have the be the best example. If everyone sees me putting in hours of hard work and dedication, I hope that they can do it better than me. My PR Agency is here to guide like-minded individuals who want to pursue their dreams and ambitions. I help with personal branding and development because I know what it’s like to have fire, but no fuel or resources. I built a network of strong and God-centered people who help me serve others. It is so important to have a community. I am just a vessel that wants others to succeed.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I started college at 16 and graduated with my BA Cum Laude in English with a minor in journalism at 21 UNLV, Greenspun College of Urban Affairs. I became a published writer and interviewer at Exhibit City News. I wanted to create a platform that implemented APA formatting but also infused creative writing to add a passionate tone in objective pieces.

Majour Mira, is a PR Agency that consults brands, products, and services while providing publications to increase brand visibility and awareness. I have multiple columns:

Business- For all entrepreneurs and executives who are pursuing enterprise in cyberspace or corporality

Finesse- For all fashion icons and staples who are changing, evolving, questioning, and awakening the mass

Fitness- For all health and fitness advocates who are helping enhance the quality of life and existence

Guinness- For all victors and winners who are accomplishing achievements in public or private

Witness- For all creators and curators who are generating imagination to actualization

Since we live in the digital age, all my clients generate so much product that they forget that the journey needs to be documented with words on paper, not just visuals. Majour helps with credibility through articles and distribution on major platforms such as Forbes, Yahoo, and Complex, and much more. My main clients range from celebrities such as Mike Tyson and Rihanna to AR agencies, modeling agencies, and marketing agencies on a global scale.

Any fun sales or marketing stories?

I was heavily impacted by COVID-19. I was given the option to either work at Costco at $30/hr or a sales job with no base rate, but with a competitive commission. I decided to take that leap of faith, leaving Las Vegas and working door-to-door sales in Texas. Since everyone was home, it was a guarantee that I was going to make a sale. I was able to speak to so many people- of course through a layered mask. I learned so many different personality types that I became acclimated to rejection. I almost looked forward to it because I studied how to respond to human behavior and antics. This allowed me to do well in my next traveling sales job where I was promoted to a managerial position where I was helping many teams throughout multiple states. Then I transitioned to become the Director of Sales at Go Go X Marketing where we were able to incubate businesses at all stages of development. If I had never taken that chance to develop my skillsets, I would have been scared to take risks my entire life. I never wanted that to become a habitual practice for the sake of my legacy and family.

How do you keep in touch with clients and foster brand loyalty?

I build a close, personal relationship with all my clients. I am extremely professional in my mannerisms, but it is vital to understand someone’s background, overall views, likes/dislikes, goals, and purpose behind their drive. If I am not specifically catering to their vision or understanding their current situation, then it is hard to build a clear structure and effective game plan. I execute plans with strict rules and compliance to help clients break old habits to gain better results for their business.
