🌿 ABOUT   CARLIS   and  IWAYS

Helping People Has Always Been My Calling. IWAYS Makes It Official.

Hi, I’m Carlis Dawson-Smith, the heart behind IWAYS — I Wanna Ask You Something.

For as long as I can remember, people have come to me with their questions:

“Carlis, can you help me with this?”
“Carlis, what should I do?”
“Carlis, I wanna ask you something…”

And even when I didn’t have the answer, I would go find it.
Helping people has always been natural for me — a part of who I am.

🌿 A Piece of My Heart: My Father’s Words

My father shaped so much of who I am.

Growing up, my dad would tell me and my five sisters:
“Handle your business.”

It wasn’t just a phrase.
It was direction.
Strength.
Wisdom.

I still hear his voice to this day.
And it guides the way I help others through IWAYS.

“I’ll Handle Your Business” isn’t just a slogan —
it’s a promise rooted in my father’s love.

🌿 WHY  I   created   IWAYS

After supporting people my entire life — and earning my Master’s in Human Resource Management — I realized something:

I’ve always been consulting.
I’ve always been advising.
I’ve always been helping others find clarity.

My sister said it best:
“Carlis… you should be charging for this.”

IWAYS is the natural next step — a place where I can serve anyone who needs guidance, understanding, or answers.
