We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Sasha Owens a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Sasha, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
That developed as the years continued to go and go. I always knew I was a beautiful girl, however, I’m vitiligan. Therefore, as years went my vitiligo continued to spread. What started as a spot, then an arm, and now pretty much all over it was mandatory that I gained more confidence. So, what I did was love every part of me. I mean that version of me when I am fresh out of the shower with no makeup. I fell in love with her and the rest was history.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Hi, I’m Sasha Owens. I’m a vitiligan model and author of 6 books. I’ve been featured in commercials for my uniqueness such as PDC’S Cantu Brand cantubeauty.com that’s me under the “Protective Styles” on the website also. Recently I had a twisted dating lifestyle featured on a Catfish Episode titled, “Sasha & Essence.” Just some recent things amongst some others that are currently being offered. I’m so honored because I have so many new opportunities coming up. So stick around to see those. Each one is ultimately aligned with my career goal which is to simply love and enjoy what I do.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Believe in yourself no matter WHO tells you otherwise. Friend, family, or lover may doubt you and that’s OK. Some people can’t believe in you pass the degree they believe in themselves. You may be the 1st so expect things to be lessons self-taught. It’s OK…you got this.
Yes, you’re a millionaire. However, enjoy having multiple forms of income.
Lastly, be YOU. There’s a trait you have or something you do that no one else does.
Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
Wow, this one is so easy but you have to do it no matter what it is. Do what makes you HAPPY. Find what brings you PEACE. For instance, watching my fave shows, listening to my fave songs, a walk in nature, or my baby girl resting on me. These things give me peace, love, and happiness. In addition, cooking and cleaning bring me happiness as I am a Cancer rising. Find yours, even if it is gaming or something. Also, speak positively through a situation that’s overwhelming. Words are powerful.
