OMG! I was going through some old files this weekend and came across this gem! 7 years ago I decided to be my own boss and quit my retail job of 9 years with MAC. It was scary and I had many days when I questioned my sanity, and was broke and hungry. But then the Universe would throw me a bone and remind me that I was on the right path. This was one of those days! I got a call to do makeup for some music video back in 2012. They didn't say who it was for, just that it paid. I remember I almost said no because I had a house cleaning job lined up that day, but my intuition said book the job. I walk into the room and look over and see this #goddess all smiles and rays of light beaming from her heart chakra and exclaimed "You're @indiaarie !!!" What an awesome day this was, hanging out in a studio with India Arie and Rakim (yea THAT Rakim). Eventually we went down to Lake Washington to shoot a video and documentary. In between touchups and lash checks, I got to chat with her mom, the sweetest and most motherly mom you can imagine.
I've been doing makeup for almost 19 years now and still get excited when amazing opportunities such as this present themselves! Gratitude is the attitude and I'm FULL of attitude, lol!
