Dr Cynthia WILLIAMS

One of the most impactful “books” I’ve engaged with is my own series, where I’ve poured my heart into narrating my life’s journey and the tribulations I’ve faced.

The end goal for me is WWE—starting with NXT and climbing my way to the top. I know exactly what I bring to the table, both in and out of the ring.

I chose a creative career as a makeup artist because, for me, makeup is more than just a surface-level transformation—it’s a form of emotional expression and connection. Art has always been a language for feelings that words can’t quite capture, and makeup is my medium.

Being able to turn my passion for creativity into a source of income is a beautiful feeling! Read More>>
