Beauty – Richmond
I was raised in New Haven, Connecticut and moved to RVA to give myself a fresh start. My passion to positively impact the community and world around me motivated me to go back to school and obtain my associates degree from J. Sargeant Reynolds and Bachelors in Social Work from VCU. While working full time and attending VCU full time, I began to using makeup as a coping skill to combat anxiety and it worked! Over the last 2 years I've dedicated myself to learning different application techniques and in November of 2017 I decided to create a platform to encourage other individuals who may be intimidated by makeup to simply try it. JusTiff's Makeup allows me the ability to connect with people on a personal level as well as use my person experience to inspire others to step outside of themselves and try something new. I also utilize my platform I have to bring awareness small and/or black owned cosmetic companies that can sometimes be overlooked and/or underappreciated.
