We were lucky to catch up with MBoujieee recently and have shared our conversation below.

MBoujieee, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you tell us about a time that your work has been misunderstood? Why do you think it happened and did any interesting insights emerge from the experience?

I think a lot of people think of me being names “MBoujieee” . I’m a boujieee person honestly somebody gave me that name because how the way I carried myself and walked with my head high . They noticed that there wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle the good and the bad days . People see a cute African American woman and probably think I never been through nothing in life because the way I hide my hands and smile like everything is all good in life . A lot of people don’t see the behind the scenes or I don’t tell them I leave everything behind close walls because I don’t think people will understand me or would judge or can even walk a mile in my shoes . I am MBoujieee walk my faith and not by sight ..

They thought I was just a CNA. They didn’t see the late nights, the studying, the self-taught hustle, the sacrifices I made while they were sleep. But truth is — this boss sh*t runs in my blood. My grandfather was a real estate investor. He owned property. He was the blueprint before I even knew I’d pick it up and run with it. So nah — I’m not new to this, I’m real estate royalty.

I started in caregiving, clocking in and out while plotting my next move. But I always knew I wasn’t made to just survive — I was made to build. Real estate found me at a time I needed purpose, control, and peace. I studied every lane: leasing, wholesaling, staging — even notary and business credit — while raising my son and still getting to the bag.

People love to ask me how I do it all. The answer is: I never stopped believing that I could. And I never wanted to rely on handouts or shortcuts — I built this from the ground up, and I kept it cute the whole time.

Now that I’m almost done with my real estate exam, I know my next chapter will hit different. And just so we’re clear — I’m not competing with nobody. I AM the lane.

This journey ain’t random — it’s generational. My grandfather walked so I could run, and now I’m laying bricks for others to follow. I know some people might get inspired watching me — and that’s fine. I am the influence, even if they don’t say it out loud. But let’s be clear — this empire I’m building didn’t come from copying anyone else. It came from vision, discipline, and work ethic. So while I’m honored to motivate others, just know: you can’t come for what I was born to build.

There’s a difference between being inspired and being entitled. I don’t mind showing people what’s possible, but don’t ever get it twisted — I laid the foundation. And what I’m building? It’s mine. So before anybody tries to come for my seat or recreate my moves, just remember — this ain’t a trend for me. It’s legacy.

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.

My main focus on music is to have fun with it and of course take it serious , but I also want to tell a story so people can get to know me and why I got a passion for music . My mission is to get out there more so I can get more known I’m very talented but just haven’t ran into the right path . When I was 8 I used to be into poetry later down the line I gained a passion for rap. What I most proud of is that I didn’t give up my dream and I ran with it , I learned alot on my own in the music industry but I want to learn more . I do eventually plan to own my own label or rap group soon .

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can provide some insight – you never know who might benefit from the enlightenment.

I feel like from the non-creatives looking from the outside perspective they would judge sometimes but not knowing how much dedication a person can put into music the bars , studio time ,money & looks. It’s definitely more into depth when it comes to being an upcoming artist . It’s hard being different when everybody thinks people have a similar sound or even looks . That’s why typically I try to be versatile and try not to stick to one niche to be different .

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
