Q&A with Mikala Hildreth

What neighborhood do you live in?
I live in the wonderful Sloan's Lake. Close to Edgewater where you can find good food, good views, and good people. The community has grown so much and is truly my favorite place to live in Denver.

What does "Be Home" mean to you?
Be home means community to me. I've never really been too focused on being home but more on the feeling of home. My friends and Family make up my community so as long as I have that I always feel at Home.

How do you "Live Who You Are"?
I "Live Who You Are" every day by simply being myself. I really do feel like the life I'm living is in alignment with who I want to be and maybe that's a little cheesy. But I love my careers. Working in Real Estate and even when I coach on the side brings me so much joy. Community, Connection, and my Faith are my big three and I feel blessed to have found my passions and people this early. So I guess to answer I just show up every day and try to surround myself with people in support of me.

What music is currently on your playlist?
Honestly all music! I have always loved music and find myself listening to different genres every day.

What local causes get your time and/or money?
Small Business! I try to make all efforts to support those creating their business around me. I promote them on my socials, shop at some, and try to bring my friends to their stores. Our current favorite would be the Weathered Wick located in Denver. Other causes I like to support would be anything that supports children or women's rights.

Give it up. What local restaurant is your best-kept secret?
Okay, my absolute favorite restaurant is Machetes Tequila and Tacos. They have multiple locations here in Denver. One is in the heart of Denver across from Union Station. Then they have one in Cherry Creek and I believe one on Colfax as well. I have been going for years with my friends. We love their drinks, environment and of course TACOS! It is a must-try!!
