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

Hi Morgan, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Well, my thought process behind starting my own business came from me enjoying to do makeup. So I just turned my passion from doing makeup into a business. I rather make money off of something I enjoy doing!

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.
Well, I’m most proud of & excited about is my future plans for my business/ brand. I plan on learning how to do lash extensions & learning how to do micro blading so I can extend my resume. The more skills you know how to do the more money you will make! My journey hasn’t been easy I still face challenges till this day I just keep going I don’t let anything get me down anymore I just keep pushing! But one thing I want the world to know about me is I’m a fighter & I’m not going to give up.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well, I’m going to be honest with you…. I don’t be going to Atlanta like that the driving up here scares me! But I would say I would take them to any place where their is an arcade I love playing games.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Well, I would love to give a shout out to my mom she is one of my biggest cheerleaders. When I want to stop or give up she keeps my going. As well as, I want to give another shoutout to my close friend Aaliyah Nowell she came into my life when things where really dark for me & she has been that light for me & my life every since. I love both of y’all so much!!!
