Memphis entrepreneur Sametria Alexander displaying a ‘servant’s heart’ through Walking Into Your Destiny, LLC

Andre Johnson August 14, 2018

MAKING HEADLINE NEWS WELCOMES SAMETRIA ALEXANDER 


During a weekend interview with Making Headline News, Sametria Alexander found herself reflecting on the life and legacy of someone very special and dear to her heart.

That special and dear someone: Sam “Sonny” Flowers.

Sam Flowers is the late grandfather of Alexander, a longtime Mid-South-area businesswoman whom, as she specifically acknowledged, essentially paved the way for her to possess and savor entrepreneurship excellence.

DESTINY STEPS — To her distinctly unique credit, Memphian Sametria Alexander has not only established her business, but she’s savoring a considerable amount of success in the process as the proud founder and CEO of Walking Into Your Destiny, LLC.

Once an accomplished entrepreneur in his own right, Sonny owned a Clarksdale, Mississippi-based roofing company for years until his death.

Alexander, meanwhile, recalls like yesterday how she watched in such wonderment her beloved grandfather functioning mightily in his element.

“The men who worked for him would come to his house every Friday to get paid, and my granddad would give them their earnings for the week,” Alexander recalled. “In Clarksdale, Mississippi, it was uncommon for a black man to have a business, let alone have white customers, but I watched him do it until the day that he died. It’s how he took care of his family. Although none of his children ventured out to start their own businesses, I always knew being a business owner was in me because of him…and that if he could do it, I could too.”

WOMAN OF MANY HATS — A business venture that went into full operations some four years ago, Alexander, 36, is routinely afforded the opportunity to display her immeasurable skills as an editor, publisher, and ghost writer.

To her distinctly unique credit, Alexander has not only established her business, but she’s savoring a considerable amount of success in the process as the proud founder and CEO of Walking Into Your Destiny, LLC.

A business venture that went into full operations some four years ago, Alexander, 36, is routinely afforded the opportunity to display her immeasurable skills as an editor, publisher, and ghost writer.

Not only that, this Memphis-based businesswoman is an accomplished author who assembled the awe-inspiring book that bears her venture’s name: Walking Into Your Destiny.

Because after all, the way things have appropriately shaped up for Alexander in recent years, it’s safe to assume that she’s surely walking in the destiny for which God created her.

“My business consists of helping aspiring authors to tell their personal stories,” Alexander, a Memphis Wooddale High graduate, said. “I believe that everyone has a story, a purpose, and a destiny to fulfill in life. It is refreshing and a sense of therapy when one is able to put their life’s experiences into a book.”

As Alexander acknowledged, helping steer her clients through the book publishing process customarily brings about a sense of gratification.

A graduate of Memphis’ historic LeMoyne-Owen College with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration, Alexander earned an MBA from the University of Phoenix. 

“And how exciting it is to become an author in the process,” Alexander says with a smile. “My ultimate goal is to help these authors help others who may have gone through similar life events. I believe when others tell their story, it not only allows the author to forgive and set themselves free but it also helps others who read about these authors.

TEN-NES-SEE HER THRIVING — Memphis-based businesswoman is an accomplished author who assembled the awe-inspiring book that bears her venture’s name: Walking Into Your Destiny.

When asked how her competitive drive in life greatly propelled her for her business venture, Alexander said: “When I think of what the word competitive means, I would say that I have never been the competitive type. I have always been introverted to myself, but I have always had the drive to want to succeed and not outdo anyone, but be of help to the world around me.”

Credit those who are comprised of Alexander’s solid support system for their valiant contributions, particularly as it pertains to staying humble as a progressive and thriving entrepreneur.

“I have a servant’s heart, I’d like to say,” said Alexander, whose globally-acclaimed business caters to individuals and groups of all ages worldwide. “So it has always been in me to want to help people.”

Besides her grandfather, there are others who have played monumental roles in Alexander’s rise as a notable entrepreneur.

GIVING BACK BIG TIME — As Alexander acknowledged, helping steer her client through the book publishing process customarily brings about a sense of gratification.

“I am inspired by many who I would not have time to name,” Alexander said. “But I would have to say that my inspiration comes from my late grandmother, Ruthie Mae Flowers. During my parents’ divorce, I had to live with her for two years, and during those two years, she introduced me to what it means to not just know God, but to have a relationship with God.

Of course, Alexander’s mother, Verna Collins-Jones, also has had an immeasurable impact on her entrepreneurship success.

“She kept me humble,” Alexander said of her mother. “I volunteered at soup kitchens, because of her and I learned humility from her.”

No one, it seems, stood out like good ole gramps, Alexander hinted.

“I am proud to be a granddaughter of a business owner from rural Mississippi, and I hope in some way that he would be proud of what I have accomplished so far.”

Without question, he surely is.

Hands down.
