I almost dropped out of Makeup Forever Academy. I was overwhelmed by living away from my three year old daughter, being an immigrant in such a weird political climate, and feeling like I couldn’t fit in!! I happened to run into Michela Wariebi and wound up telling her how I felt. She made me feel heard, seen, and acknowledged. Her constant encouragement gave me the confidence to stay in school. Her words have stuck with me ever since, and I promised myself to be in service of those who serve others. That's why I felt compelled to write this article!!
I started this blog because I know there is a mother out there who’s waiting for the right time to start something new. I started this blog because I know that a girl that just moved here from god knows where is comparing herself to others and feeling like she is not doing enough. This is also for the freelancers who struggle with their self-worth, making friends, or feel awkward in social settings. Maybe we have similar fears and goals that we are too afraid to talk about. Even if we don’t, you’re doing everything you can to minimize your suffering. In that way, you and I both are aiming for the same thing.
