We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Rashad Stribling. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Rashad below.
Rashad , appreciate you joining us today. What did your parents do right and how has that impacted you in your life and career?
The biggest thing my Parents did right in my life. Especially my mother, was instill a belief in Jesus Christ and a work ethic like no other. Embracing who I am as a black man in this society. Leading with Love and knowing that I can accomplish literally anything I want to do in life.
My journey started, in South Central Los Angeles in the West Adams district. My mother was a single mom and I am the oldest of 4. Dealing with the highs and Lows as an adolescent in South Los Angeles. My mother gave us choices and education was the top choice. But she also encouraged us, and told us to always dream and dream big. And that’s where my creative artistic mindset started to develop, and that’s why I do what I do now!
Rashad , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Well my name is Rashad but I go by “Shad Eatz”, which is my content creator name and brand. I got into this industry by taking a leap of Faith and trusting not only myself, but God most importantly. But it hasn’t been easy, with change comes sacrifice and in order to be successful at anything, you must be discipline and consistent. As a food content creator, I provide a service that embodies not only the life stories of these restaurant owners, but a fun enjoyable genuine vibe of eating great food. That’s what sets me apart, and that what makes me most proud. I always say, I’m doing Gods work! Because the most important thing to me, is shining light on small business owners regardless of who you are! The goal is to grow my brand to where I can truly make this a career. I want to continue to grow my following, continue building great relationships with restaurant owners, and private chefs.
In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?
Honestly, just be more supportive all around. Rather it’s sharing your content consistently, providing workshops for content creators, jobs, etc..
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
The ultimate goal that drives me in my creative journey, is making my family proud, and making this a full time career. So I can truly change small restaurant owners lives with my content. Also, I would love to have my own show on food network one day! Content creation is my passion and that’s why I give it my all.
In Loving Memory,
Uncle Gary Alexander! Rest Easy Unc, I love you and miss you!
