Happy Monday G-IRLS :) Fun fact: 13 is actually my favorite number, so I'm very excited that this is my 13th episode of the podcast!! We have a very brave woman sharing her story today, and I can't wait for y'all to learn more about her.
Lakeasha is a model, actor, entrepreneur, and the founder of VIVALUX7 which is an everyday wear cosmetic line. She has overcome many trials in her life, including the brutal murder of her boyfriend at the young age of 17, who was also the father of her 7 month old child. Being a teen mom and dealing with this unexpected tragedy left her mentally and emotionally paralyzed. She has spent many years trying to figure out how to turn her numbness and pain into something positive. Her love and passion for the beauty industry lead her to attend Aveda Institute of New Orleans and graduate in Esthiology Science in 2016. Since then, she has created her own cosmetic line which represents strength and beauty. Her brand is to show the world the power of never giving up no matter what life tries to throw at you.
I hope you guys are as encouraged after listening to her story as I was. Be sure to follow her on instagram at @iamlakeashaj and her cosmetic line @vivalux7llc. While you're there, give us a follow too @_girlsirl. Talk to you guys next week <3
