MB MAGAZINE: “Let’s unpack that.”
ALEXIS SKYY: “I can't lie. On this journey I wake up in a different emotion every day. I started this journey over a year ago, but I turned back. Like, I wake up crying one day and I wake up happy the next. A lot of what I was feeling early on was depression. I felt like I couldn’t find peace. Having peace is what is most important to me. I’ve been patient and obedient for the past four months because I know in the end the reward is going to be overwhelming. There are going to be blessings that overflow in my life.”
“I knew that the transition would not be easy, but I’m at peace with myself now. I have to stop living in fear and start having faith because for so many years I was living in fear of how I am going to make money if I don't go do this [host events, take sexy pics, and post on social media] … or if I don't have this [designer shoes, handbags, diamonds, cars, etc.]. So now I’m just trusting God. New Year’s 2023 was my last booking. I don’t host events anymore, and I gave up liquor [jokingly]. Seriously, I was an alcoholic. I used liquor to drink my problems away. That was the thing I knew would help me cope with issues. It would be either drugs or liquor.”
MB MAGAZINE: “What was the main issue that caused you to drink or do drugs?”
ALEXIS SKYY: “Men. Men were my downfall. I was always having issues with relationships. Just not being treated right. I had everything in this world, like the bags, the shoes, the cars, but I was just like an empty soul. I would wake up miserable. Angry at the world for no reason. I was always angry. Nothing around me was blossoming. Everything around me was dead.”
“My relationship with my family was always in confusion. The money I was making was not blessed. Hosting was like sitting in the devil’s den, partying with people, getting drunk, and doing what the devil wanted me to do. The devil used me to influence other girls to do the same thing I was doing. I got paid to do that, too. Twelve thousand dollars here and another twelve thousand there … the money was easy, and it just kept coming. It felt good, so I kept going after it, not knowing it was just a trap.”
“So that’s what surrounded me. I was running from it.”
