Hello, my name is MARRSHUN PRESTON a Multifaceted Artist born in Downtown Houston , Texas . Growing up as a BIPOC Artist in 5th ward I have experienced first hand the struggles , trials , and tribulations of my culture. Despite a NDE ( near death experience , racism , and fighting against homophobia I have broken many barriers and accomplished many goals ….. from living in NYC 10+ years to creating a brand that encompasses many art mediums .
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I was born to a close family of entrepreneurs , educators , and devout Christians. My black experience is that of a family of brown and black people whom worked to carry on a 100 + year legacy of History tracing back ownership of land, family history , and morals from Pre- American Civil War . My morals , values , and life lessons that have been passed down to me from my grand parents and great great grandparents and great great great grandparents. Growing up I was exposed to successful black people . My Aunt Marie Preston the first black woman to own a Roll Royce in the State of Texas and a best selling author. My grandfather Marvin F Hamilton one of the first black men to own a soul food restaurant in Downtown Houston which he own and operated for over 20+ years. I was told through education and entrepreneurship is the way a person can achieve power in the community . I’m proud of my family’s legacy . . I’m proud to be black excellence , I am proud to be an ARTIST. I am proud of being a scholar.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
Never give up on yourself. When your cup is full it will run over . Empty it out in the form of inspiration then retreat and fill your cup back up. Take care of YOU FIRST . If you dont you cant be of use to anyone else.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
During Covid-19 I decided to dedicate my life to writing , educating , and to becoming the best HUMAN I CAN BE ….. through accreditations and the ability to survive change I was able to make sure that my brand evolved just as quick as technology . Ride the wave dont split it!
