I broke out of that mental depression by focusing on my craft

I grew up in Long Island City Queens, NYC Like many other kids growing up in urban areas, I didn’t have too much encouragement as far what to become School, the news, our parents and other adults would direct us away from things not to become but as far as things to become, I felt like that was for me to figure out During my high school years I really started to home in on cosmetics I have three older sisters who would dress up and do their makeup and of course being the youngest I wasn’t allowed to where it but that didn’t hinder my interest. As I got older my interest grew, so did the craft, so did my client base. I went from doing my own makeup to doing friends and family to having regular clients out of my mothers home Life really said hello when I realized I needed a booth I rented a booth out of an existing studio in Brooklyn, NY The growth continued, after a year I moved to a somewhat bigger and nicer but most importantly, close to home studio in Long Island City Queens After being there for 5 months, that salon was broken in to and all my Makeup was stolen. This literally felt like the end for BeatByKayy. Everything I’d worked so hard to buy was taken from me I sat and thought,

There’s no way I could recover from this. I cried. I continued to have faith in the Lord that I’d gain everything I’ve lost back, and slowly but surely I did and I couldn’t thank God enough Without God I don’t know where I’d be What would you say your true splendor is in your life?

Artistry, for years I’ve always had an eye for art It brings me peace & happiness

Would you like to describe a moment where you felt like your life change for the better?

My life changed for the better when I turned to God, in this life times can get really hard but once you build a relationship with God there’s always going to be light at the end of the tunnel and I feel like I learned that first hand

If there’s one thing you wanted to tell your younger self that only your older self as large what would it be?

It would be to slow down, growing up I always rushed to do everything If I could go back in time I’d definitely take my time with things and cherish my family more

What would your chains be in life and how did you break out of it?

Most would say I was lucky to Grow up with both my parents but at times it was actually very draining living in a household where my dad abused alcohol There would be fights/ arguments every week I broke out of that mental depression by focusing on my craft
