Inspiring Conversations with Shemekia Oneal of Soar With Chic Travel

Today we’d like to introduce you to Shemekia Oneal

Hi Shemekia, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’m originally from Jackson, MS, but I’ve been calling Clarksville home for the past two years. My passion for travel ignited in 2016 when I took my first trip to the Dominican Republic, and I haven’t looked back since. Since then, I’ve had the joy of helping over 100 clients explore amazing destinations around the globe, making new friends along the way. Recently, I’ve shifted my focus to planning group trips for those who want to travel but may not want to go alone or are looking for travel companions. My goal is to help others experience new adventures and have a blast doing it. I genuinely love what I do and am always ready to assist others in making unforgettable memories on their journeys.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Starting a business from scratch comes with its fair share of challenges. You’ll face tough competition and the uphill battle of getting your brand noticed. Limited resources can make it hard to market yourself and attract new clients, while keeping those clients happy requires consistent quality and great service. Juggling multiple roles can be overwhelming, and adapting to feedback is key to growing. Plus, as you expand, you’ll need to navigate finances and stay on top of regulations. It’s a lot to handle, but with some planning, perseverance, and support from others, you can tackle these obstacles head-on.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
To find a mentor and network effectively, start by defining your goals and what you want from mentorship. Reach out to your existing network, including colleagues and former professors, and attend industry events like workshops and conferences to meet potential mentors. Be authentic and specific about the guidance you seek. For networking, use social media platforms like LinkedIn to connect and engage with others, and always follow up with thank-you messages after meetings. Look for ways to offer value by helping others and consider joining professional groups. Stay open-minded; valuable insights can come from anyone, including peers and newcomers. Active participation in discussions and setting up informational interviews can also help build meaningful connections.
