BLOG-MAS Day 16// Alexis Dominque
I met this wonderful woman when I was in basic training for the Air Force - and just like most people after any type of graduation our friendship dimmed but we still remained friends on social media - and as of lately I have become obsessed with the positivity and light that she brings to my time line on Facebook every single day. So naturally I reached out and asked her if I could do a feature on my blog about all her work she has been doing and her journal that she is about to release in the beginning of 2018
- so without further ado I present to you my interview with
Alexis Dominique//
“Do not give that which is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”
- Matthew 7:6 AMP
Me: Introduce yourself love, tell us a bit about who you are and what you do?
Alexis: I am Alexis Dominique. A southern belle living in the DMV trying to spread truth, love and positivity by whatever means necessary. My goal in life is to Inspire others to motivate, move and create brighter and more successful futures for themselves.
Me: That is amazing, what made you want to go in that direction, have you always been an optimistic light or did something inspire you to want to create a career path in that direction?
Alexis: I always knew that my story as in how I became where I am today needed to be told. Positivity is something I truly believe in and although I’ve had many dark times I always aspire to inspire others to think positively. Burying my mother 2 months ago also allowed me to be even more transparent with hurt, grief and life.
Me: Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. Your passion to inspire others is something I can relate to - there is something so powerful in helping others fulfill their own aspirations and seeing the influence of your words and your work inspire them.I was recently on your website and blog and became curios about the term Pearls for the Pigs - how did that name come about?
Alexis: Interestingly enough I get that a lot and I love when people ask. The inspiration first and foremost fame from Matthew 7:6 AMP- “Do not give that which is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”
Essentially to me that means don’t be so easy to take what is sacred that God gave us whether it is a vision goal or plan and just share with anyone. Not everyone has your best interests at heart. But those that do will motivate you and catapult you to success. People in a sense are like pigs figuratively. They are only as smart as they’re willing to learn. Does that make sense.
Me: That seriously makes so much sense, I really do love that and I love that your Faith is the essence of your foundation in your life and in your business as well.
Alexis: Indeed. My faith has never forsaken me but only kept me when everyone else let me down.
Me: I want to know more about this Truth. Love. Positivity. Journal you have in the works. I am huge on journaling and anything that will stimulate me in a creative and honest way is a bonus
Alexis: My Journal. Oh wow. This has been a long time coming. So I have been working on a Dear Self Series and these are daily affirmations that I tell myself. So with this journal I wanted to express and allow others to allow those thoughts to resonate with themselves. And express themselves in the moment. The journal is a 52 week journal and will have a daily affirmation for every week.
Me: I can’t wait to get my hands on it, speaking of affirmations...what are some of your favorites that you have ?Or say to yourself when you aren’t feeling quite like yourself
Alexis:
Dear Self, It’s not always about the celebration; maturation happens in the dark seasons of your life.
Dear Self, your life is a ministry and someone is ready to be delivered just like you have been.
Dear Self, GUESS WHAT? You survived it; whatever your IT is/was. You’re here for another day.
Me: I might have to steal some of these for myself - especially the first one. So when can we expect the journal to come out?
Alexis: Feel free. Just quote me so I know it’s real. Ha ha - We are actually in the formatting stages for the journal. So the top of the year it’s all yours. I’ll be sure to send you an autographed copy.
Me: Of course love !! I am so excited to get my own copy ❤️Well doll, I don’t want to take up too much of your time - but before we end the interview let us know where we could find you (social media + website)
Alexis: Awe this has been an absolute pleasure and I thank you so much for reaching out to me.
You can find me on FB/IG/Twitter @AlexisDomDotcom

I definitely look forward to speaking with you again soon.
Me: I absolutely loved reconnecting with you and when your journal releases we can do another post together, or maybe you can even guest blog on my site and vise versa. I feel like we connect on the same frequency.This was awesome love. Enjoy the rest of your night
Alexis: Same here dear. And likewise. I look forward to chatting with you again soon
