S3. EP.59 - My Origin Story & The Village That Built Me
from It Takes A Village with Delina Medhin · host Delina Medhin
Hey y’all, this episode is SO special. I take you back to where it all started, back when I was a wide-eyed college girl obsessed with getting a job at MAC Cosmetics. I talk about how talking to people has been about learning makeup from a random website called Expert Village (shoutout to that mystery woman who saved me!) and somehow landing an interview at MAC, even though I barely knew what I was doing.I share the moments that shaped me and the incredible artists I met-- like my makeup mom, Regina, who literally changed my life, and Edson, who taught me to see makeup as an art form. I talk about the moment I realized that my love for makeup was actually about something much deeper: connection.This episode is a reminder that when something lights you up, follow it. Even if you don’t know where it’s leading, even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else, trust it. Because that’s how I got here. That’s how I went from holding a makeup brush to holding space for real, deep conversations.If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. And if you love the podcast, leave me a review I want to know what resonated, what made you feel something. Y’all know I live for connection. Love you so much, and I’ll see you in the next one.
