Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business is every woman who has turned her passion into a thriving enterprise while balancing the demands of life. As a single mother, I’m deeply inspired by trailblazers like Danessa Myricks, who boldly entered the beauty industry at an elite age and carved her own path to success. Her resilience, creativity, and determination to create opportunities for herself and others mirrors my own goals. In essence, strive to emulate her courage and innovation!

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on my passion for empowering brides on one of the most important days of their lives. Seeing their joy and confidence after my work fuels my drive. Additionally, my son is my greatest inspiration—his resilience and my desire to provide a bright future for him keeps me committed to growing my business and overcoming challenges. Knowing that my work makes a lasting impact motivates me to continually strive for excellence.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I will elevate KLynn Artistry into a premier destination for luxury beauty services and education. This funding will create an elegant, fully equipped studio designed for personalized Bridal consultations/trials. Classes for makeup artistry will be offered to inspire and mentor the next generation of talent. Enhanced marketing will help me reach more brides and beauty enthusiasts. My goal is to be a leader in the industry, while delivering an unforgettable client experience.
