We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Taura Johnson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Taura below.
Taura, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
My resilience comes from seeing my mother works so hard and diligently to make sure that we have a good life. My family originates from a third world country so we came from nothing. All we know is hard work, consistency and being resilient. No matter what comes my way, I try to perservere. When going through trying times, I ask myself “What is God trying to teach me?” It brings me comfort instead of asking “why me?”.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
We are not just a cosmetic line; we are a movement that encourages every woman to embrace her unique beauty and recognize the goddess within.
What sets Goddess Minx apart is our commitment to empowering women from all walks of life. We believe that beauty is a form of self-expression, and every woman deserves to feel like a goddess. Our cosmetic line is a testament to this philosophy, offering products that cater to diverse skin tones and celebrate individuality.
In our pursuit of empowerment, we are thrilled to announce our recent collaborations that exemplify our dedication to inclusivity. We’ve proudly partnered with Miss Pennsylvania of the Miss Earth USA organization, a collaboration that extends our reach to a network of over 100,000 people. This collaboration not only signifies our commitment to beauty but also aligns with our values of diversity and representation.
Additionally, we’ve joined forces with She Is Royal, a black girl marketplace that proudly supports numerous minority and women-owned businesses. This partnership is a testament to our dedication to fostering a community of empowerment and uplifting women entrepreneurs.
As we continue to evolve, we are excited to share that Goddess Minx is gearing up for a spectacular relaunch party next year. This event will mark the introduction of a new and exciting product, further expanding our range and offering our community more ways to express their unique beauty.
At Goddess Minx, we invite you to join us on this empowering journey, where every product tells a story of self-love, confidence, and the celebration of your goddess-like qualities.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Looking back on my journey as a makeup artist for the past 7 years, three qualities that have been incredibly impactful are my creativity, organizational skills, and in-depth knowledge of makeup. These aspects have not only shaped my career but have also allowed me to connect with customers on a deeper level, understanding and delivering exactly what they want.
For those early in their journey, here’s some advice based on my experience:
Creativity: Embrace and nurture your creative side. Experiment with different styles, techniques, and trends. Attend workshops or online classes to stay updated on the latest in the makeup industry. Your ability to think outside the box will set you apart.
Advice: Set aside time for regular creative sessions where you can freely explore new looks and ideas. Don’t be afraid to take risks and push your creative boundaries.
Organizational Skills: In the beauty industry, organization is key. Keep your tools, products, and appointments well-organized to enhance efficiency and professionalism.
Advice: Invest in quality organizational tools and make a habit of cleaning and organizing your workspace regularly. This not only improves your workflow but also creates a positive and inviting environment for your clients.
Customer Relations: Your ability to relate to customers and understand their desires is invaluable. Building strong relationships fosters trust and loyalty.
Advice: Actively listen to your clients, ask questions, and provide personalized experiences. Attend industry events and engage in social media to stay connected with your audience. Networking is crucial for building a solid customer base.
In addition to these qualities, my overarching advice is:
Never Give Up: Challenges will come, but persistence is key. Learn from setbacks, adapt, and keep moving forward.
Network Like Your Life Depends on It: Connect with fellow professionals, attend industry events, and use social media platforms to showcase your work. Networking opens doors to opportunities you might not discover on your own.
Find Fun in What You Do: Enjoyment fuels passion and dedication. Strive to find joy in your work, and it will never feel like a chore.
Remember, your journey is unique, and each step, no matter how small, contributes to your growth. Embrace the learning process, stay true to your passion, and success will follow.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
Absolutely! I am actively seeking collaborations with influencers who are dedicated to producing high-quality content. I am interested in partnering with honest individuals who can bring a unique perspective to the brand and actively engage with their audience.
If you are an influencer who aligns with these values and is passionate about beauty and empowerment, I would love to connect with you. Feel free to reach out to me through email at goddessbeatsmua@gmail.com.
Let’s explore how we can work together to amplify the message of authenticity, inclusivity, and self-expression through beauty.
Looking forward to potential collaborations and the exciting possibilities ahead!
