We had the good fortune of connecting with Christian Harrison and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christian, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
Well.. hello I’m christian Harrison, Born and Raised from Baltimore Maryland (AKA) Murder Land. My upbringing was very well let’s say a lot but my mom was in the hair business so was my sister they both had business and shops but I didn’t wanna do hair even tho I was taught the game but I was still trying to figure out WHO I AM…What !! Will make me different and one I Cut my eyebrow in middle school and started practicing makeup. I knew the makeup Industry was for me cosmetology was for And my background is pretty much simple…but not simple!! I grew up to be known as the bad child I couldn’t go anywhere without hearing that but I had to change that image of myself . Baltimore is very sneaky, fighting, killing, basically tearing each other down instead of uplifting and I knew then and there, there’s more to life then Baltimore, the police crime is ridiculous and I didn’t wanna raise and family there until I knew I was safe and nothing was going to happen to my love one or child but check this out ( keep reading) after I graduated 2019 I Bc it my first apartment and I was on my grind and hustle then the most happiest year well I thought….. to become an adult to branch out…….before my life came crumbling down. My oldest sister DESTINY HARRISON (slayedbydes) was murdered in her place of business with her daughter my niece. Y’all don’t understand how much of a transition that was so many heart breaks families torn our mother with a mind with endless guilt and a sister that had to change her life forever(me) my mom was 6 months pregnant I believe and it was near Christmas the most happiest time of the year but for us is the most devastating month each year. Wen I got to ATL I did what I had to do my dream push my makeup career to the next level I can say I really went hard wen I found out I was pregnant , my life completely change! I had a family A BABY!!! I had to take care of, love , support, teaching from right and wrong, raising a black child to become what I couldn’t !

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What set me apart from others? well to be honest I was doing makeup because of the money or to become Instagram famous. I loved doing makeup because I love the praise , I love to makeup a any woman feel beautiful and happy and appreciated and loved. I always always give all my clients advice even tho I’m 21 but I’ve been through a lot and you will be surprised with the conversation

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well I lost all my friends wen I lost my sister, you’ll be shocked to see your friend your bestfriend true attention and realize this relationship wasn’t meant, the only person I love going out with is my man and honest I enjoy every moment because he allows me to be me with no judgement only love. Some places u can check out his Mirza, nene née club , area 4 etc
