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

Hi Gericka, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I wanted to work without feeling like i was working. I wanted to do something that fulfilled my passion.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Practice! I experimented on my own face for years and decided to try something new ! I took a makeup certification class to educate myself and what to do on others. I took pride in learning this skill. I wanted people to come to me and not feel the foundation on their face but to feel light and enhanced! I wanted to bring beauty and become better and better. My brand is MUA Nyzhae and i am a makeup artist.

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 eat at toast on lennox for brunch . I then would take her to andretti to have kid fun. We then would go to eat lunch at a Trap city cafe’. We then would go out to revel for a night club night out !

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to shoutout Chasmine for being a great mentor ! She help me see a path and make sense of it by guiding me to different ideas of what i can do in this field to be successful.
