A chapter of my life I honestly don’t feel like I’ve shared enough… ✨

A little over a year ago, I became an officially published author.

I had the honor of writing a book alongside 18 other incredible women, where we each shared our stories in one place.

My chapter is deeply personal — it explores beauty, belonging, and the journey of learning to see myself differently.

Growing up, I honestly did not feel beautiful at all. I often felt like I never fit in, like I was always moving to the beat of my own drum, and for a long time I carried the belief that I wasn’t enough.

Ironically, years later, I built a career as a Makeup Artist and worked in the beauty industry.

This chapter shares that full-circle moment and the truth that so many of us carry: no matter who we are — from the most beautiful models in the world to everyday women like us — so many of us struggle to truly see our own beauty.

More than anything, I hope this story inspires you to chase your dreams and to begin seeing the beauty that already lives within you, because that has been one of my greatest lessons too.

I only have 10 copies left of the book available for $25.

If you’re local, I’d be happy to drop it off to you. If it needs to be shipped, it’s a $5 flat-rate shipping fee.

And for everyone who orders, I’ll personally sign my chapter for you. Comment below or PM me if you want yours. 🤍

I’m so excited for you to read this and I truly cannot wait to hear what you think.

As always, thank you so much for your love and support.

Well THIS happened yesterday 🤯.

Alright everyone, the results are IN.

First and foremost, I cannot THANK YOU enough for all of your support during this campaign. This was honestly one of the hardest campaigns I’ve ever had to run. Putting yourself out there vulnerably is never easy — and asking for help, especially financially, was one of the hardest things I’ve done. I second guessed myself the entire way… but I did it.

I hope this inspires someone to put themselves out there, go after what they want, and have the courage to bet on themselves.

Drum roll please — between GoFundMe donations, online purchases, and Zelle/Venmo gifts, we raised $7,118. I am floored.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Your encouragement meant more than you know. The rollercoaster of entrepreneurship is real — the highest highs and some of the lowest lows — but community is everything. And it’s because of YOU that I get to do this.

We are $2,882 away from the goal, and I know we can get there. If this resonates, please share.

Anyone who donated please DM me your PHYSICAL address. Anyone who donated $100+ will receive a signature Breakups to Makeup clutch💄.

More details on the opportunity to come soon — I promise. We’re doing this together.

Sending you all so much love. 💗

A couple of people have asked me if there are other ways they can support the Breakups to Makeup campaign other than GoFundMe. And YES, there are! I created this graphic to help break it down.

First & foremost I again want to take the time and thank EVERYONE who has donated, shared & supported the campaign in any way you are able to. I am so grateful to you all.

We are now $3,767 (yes—6️⃣7️⃣— I’m acknowledging it as good luck 🤞🏾) away from the goal 😱. There are 17 days left & I KNOW we can do this!

In addition to the GoFundMe campaign every purchase counts and I also have both Venmo & Zelle. I have created this below to help break down the goal a bit more.

Have you been wanting a one-on-one with me? Let’s do it! Do you know a beauty lover who has a birthday coming up? Our makeup clutches are the PERFECT gift! Have you been wanting to join us in the club or do you know a beauty entrepreneur who can benefit from being a part of a supportive community? Join us!

There are so many ways that you can help support! If I didn’t mention something that you are thinking of or you have a contact you think I should reach out to, please let me know.

Again, I can’t thank you enough for all of your help so far. It truly takes a village and I am forever grateful. We are soooo close!

Let’s get it 🙌🏾🫶🏾
