Today we’d like to introduce you to Moesia “Mo” Davis.
Hi Moesia, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I’m not sure how I got here; so many prayers and so many people breathing life into my craft.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely has not been a smooth road. There have been numerous struggles involving adapting to a new city and just maintaining an appreciative attitude towards my gift. I used to wonder sometimes if people really saw me; if they saw how much I really loved my art and delivering a product that makes me proud.
Women who look like me often struggle with imposter syndrome. Do I belong? Am I worthy? We find ourselves working our entire lives for the validation of others.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a fine art photographer who specializes in weddings. I love my job if that’s what we’re calling it. Sometimes, it doesn’t feel like work and sometimes it feels like too much work.
I’m most proud that I have a career where people choose me. It feels great to be chosen. It’s a special and unique way of saying, “I trust you.” I love that my couples trade control for freedom. I think my photos are a testament to that.
How do you define success?
I don’t love that word. Success is not a destination. “Oh, I’ve made it, I’m successful.” There are so many lanes of life.
Some people are mothers, others are teachers.
If you’re giving the world what is needed, you’re successful. If you’re raising great kids or teaching the leaders of tomorrow… if you’re creating art that makes you proud, I think you’ve mastered the art of undefined success.
