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

Hi Cierra, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I was extremely tired of working for someone else and not being appreciated. I wanted to create something for myself that will better my future in the long run.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a make up artist. I specialize in soft glam makeup looks. I believe that make up is suppose to enhance the beauty that you already have.

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?
I would take them to Washington, DC on Sunday for Brunch. My favorite Brunch spot is Georgia Browns. The food is amazing. For a great Monday night dinner we would do Joes Seafood and Steakhouse in DC. We would enjoy a lovely day of shopping at Tyson’s Corner on Saturday. We would then hit up Capital Grill for happy hour, their drinks are amazing. I love Margarita’s!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shoutout my Sister Alicia Imani. She has always pushed me to be better and do better.
