Hey Nelli

Beauty has given me many things, but Community will always be the richest.

A Beauty Mastermind program brought us together in 2015 - been rolling ever since. Sisters for LIFE! Lisa P. Jones 📍NYC/ Long Island Tisha H Beauty-NJ/NYC Pro Makeup Artist 🖤✨🖤

Dance introduced us through our daughters. Beauty forged a sisterhood. That’s my girrrllll! 🖤✨

We don’t get to be together enough. 🫶🏾🫶🏾

Same Mastermind program brought us together, different season, same sisterhood! 🖤✨

Beauty is Community, Sisterhood, Connection 🖤✨ That is the real luxury!

Black Beauty Roster thank you for expanding what access, opportunity and community looks like for Black Beauty Professionals.

My friend Lisa P. Jones 📍NYC/ Long Island has so many talents beyond makeup. She made this gorgeous dress AND bag. She got compliments all day and I just want her to get real loud about her gifts. And i want her to show y’all. But yea, SHE MADE IT and she looked so damn good. 😝💁🏾‍♀️😍😍

Education matters! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Grateful for spaces like these. 🖤✨

Swipe for a little Masterclass Magic with DMV artist Hi I’m Gigi 💓 ✨ Thank you for trusting me to pour into your gift.

As creatives, there comes a point when we stop waiting for our next level to resource itself. Only you know the vision, and only you know what it will require to bring it to life.

High-level artistry requires high-level investment: in your technique, the way you operate, your standards, yourself, and the vision you are building.

Before the higher rates, stronger clientele, bigger opportunities, and tangible return comes the decision to train, invest, and show up at a higher level.

This is the level of Beauty Education I’m bringing home to Grenada 🇬🇩

These prom babies have me in all my feels. Such a sweet and stunning young Queen. Slide to see her in all her Prom glory. ❤️✨

Sidenote: the think pieces on the internet about the way parents are choosing to celebrate their HS graduates is super weird. I didn’t know that was a trending discourse until today. Out of all the other pressing issues in the world? Give me a break!

A little Grenadian girl who dared to dream - and a gift I didn’t know I had somehow kept making room for me.

14 years. That’s how long this gift has been giving back to me. Makeup has carried me into rooms I could not have dreamed up vividly enough for myself.

From production floors, to bridal suites, television sets, board rooms, classrooms, tours and red carpets. And now I get to bring it all HOME. 14 years of lessons, expertise, education, growth, systems, standards and dope ass artistry.

To the Artists who have already registered and invested in this experience - big THANK YOU. You are the proof of concept. You are the push. You are the reminder that this vision is not just in my head anymore. It is taking beautiful shape. 🙏🏾🖤
