Meet Destiny

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Destiny . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Destiny below.

Destiny , thank you so much for joining us and offering your lessons and wisdom for our readers. One of the things we most admire about you is your generosity and so we’d love if you could talk to us about where you think your generosity comes from.

I think my generosity comes from where I was born and raised. Growing up in the city, I learned a lot of valuable life lessons about resilience, hard work, and empathy. However, being raised by grandmother truly changed the game for me.

My grandmother raised me to understand the importance of kindness, compassion, and giving back to others. She showed me that generosity doesn’t mean giving materially, but also giving your time, attention, and love to others. Her wisdom and her guidance have helped me build my character as the women I am becoming today.

I believe where we come from plays a significant role in shaping who we are and how we interact with the world around us. My experiences growing up in the city and being raised by my grandmother have deeply influenced my values and actions, especially when it comes to giving back to others. We all know how important and special a grandmother’s love is and I’m truthfully blessed to have had her as my rock.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

Originally from New Jersey, I made a bold move to Florida to pursue my goals and my dreams when I was 20 years old. My life path has been a journey filled with valuable life lessons that have shaped me into the person I am today. Once of my greatest passions has always been working with curly hair. It all started when I started embracing my curls when I was 14 years old. I discovered a love for curly hair care. Since then, I have dedicated myself to becoming a curly hair specialist and a beauty business owner.

I’m currently in the midst of a life transition as I am embarking on the journey of focusing on bettering my health through holistic health care and becoming a small business owner. I have recently established my own business located in Boca Raton Florida a little over a year ago, and now I’m expanding to where I’m starting to add more creative stylists to my empowering environment. This new venture allows me to not only pursue my passion for working with curly hair, but also to create a space where I can share my expertise and creativity with others as they will do the same with me. It’s pretty exciting if you ask me. It’s something I always dreamed of and it’s coming together slowly but surely.

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?

I would say my passion for curly hair, my resilience and perseverance, and my entrepreneurial spirit has made the most impact on my journey.

My deep passion for curly hair ever since I’m a little girl has really been a driving force in shaping my career path. The passion just fuels me to where I have such a dedication to becoming not only a specialist but a change to the culture and it’s been motivating me to continuously work hard and improve my craft and my myself on a personal level.

Throughout this journey, I have faced many challenges and setbacks such as relationship issues like betrayals and chronic illnesses such as migraines, gut issues, and autoimmune. I have stayed true to my calling and stayed focused on my goals, overcoming these obstacles, and adapting to these changes. And we all know it’s never easy to make changes, especially since we been conditioned to feel, act, think, or speak a certain way since childhood… it’s hard to break generational curses, especially when you’re the first one doing it. But it’s been crucial for me in navigating these ups and downs of still continuing to pursue my dreams.

My entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen have been essential in my transition to becoming a small business owner. My knowledge of my industry, my mindset, and my willingness to take risks have enabled me to establish and grow my business into what it’s becoming today.

My advice: Remember that the journey itself is just as important as the destination. Each step you take and each challenge you face is shaping you into the person you are meant to be. Focus on self-discovery. Take the time to explore your passions, strengths, and values. Understand who you are at your core and what truly drives you. Continue to learn. Commit to a lifelong journey of learning and growth. Seek knowledge and skills that will help you improve. HAVE FAITH AND TRUST. Have faith in yourself and trust the journey ahead. Believe in your abilities, and the divine guidance that’s always present. Trust that God has a plan for you and that every experience, whether joyful or challenging, it’s all part of a greater purpose. Let the light of God guide you towards your true purpose and fulfillment.

Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?

The biggest area of growth and improvement in the last year has been centered around my health and faith. I experienced a traumatic health scare the end of 2023 that served as a wakeup call for me, pushing me to prioritize my well-being and make positive lifestyle changes. In overcoming my health issue, I have been diligently following a healthier diet and seeking guidance from holistic practitioners to ensure my continued well-being. My faith has been constantly tested during this period. The challenges in my health made me question my beliefs and seek a deeper understanding to spirituality. Despite the difficulties, I found the inner strength to allow me to navigate through uncertain times with a sense of hope.

This experience has been super transformational for me, leading me to focus on self-care, prioritize my health, and deepen my spiritual connection. I’m very grateful for the growth and lessons learned during this time, and I am committed to continuing my journey towards holistic well-being and spiritual growth.
