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

Hi Dasia, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Believing in myself. While running a business it’s easy to get distracted by whose not supporting you. It used to make me question my talents. Once I started believing in myself, everybody else’s opinions became secondary. It is one of the most important factors behind my brand because I don’t seek validation for motivation. I motivate myself to keep going.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I’ve been around beauty for years. It started with me being a model for Models Inc. the #1 modeling organization in the DMV. They introduced me to life as a model and that always included a beat face! It wasn’t until I graduated college in 2019 when I started to take makeup seriously. I trained with one of top makeup artist in the industry Ms Jazzmin whose worked with celebrities such as JT, Nene Leakes and Cardi B. After my training with her , the rest is history. I haven’t stopped doing makeup since then.

My journey has definitely not been easy. I’ve doubted myself and wanted to quit. I used to let the opinions of others get to me and discourage me. Once I realized who I was … the rest was history.

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?
Coming to Atlanta there is a lot of entertainment and places to go!

If you’re like me , then you love brunch ! I love Breakfast and Barney’s, BQE, The Hive, and Atlantis

I’m not a clubby girl but if I do go it’ll probably be KOD , Opium, or Lyfe.

I love a good lounge and would probably visit
Fin and Feathers

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There are a few people I would like to dedicate my shoutout to.

First and foremost would be my mom Meek Beauty ! She literally is a living example of being a Boss and she inspires me to boss up !

I would also of course give a shout-out to my modeling team Models Inc who molded my confidence and introduced me to the beauty industry while modeling.
