To make other women feel beautiful regardless they still gone be beautiful with or without makeup . It’s not gone stop me from loving makeup when I’m put so much energy and passion to it .

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It hasn’t been the best smooth road . There are times I wanna give up . There are times I go through depression and other things I’ve been dealing with . However , I prayed and prayed that I wanna do better and be better to make sure that giving up is NOT an option. My family and friends advice always keep me on toes .

How do you think about happiness?
What makes me happy is makeup of course because I’ve driven so much to it . Make progress around my work . I take criticism as well to make sure I work on it the next time and go with the flow while doing it . I don’t want myself being define as a deaf woman alone because I can do so much more like any other deaf person can do. I used to be so insecure and not fitting into something that I can feel love with a hobby and turn it to a hustle .
