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

Hi Timeshia, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I knew that I did not want to work for anyone. My thought process was, what can I do that would always be a need? I had a passion for makeup and really enjoyed doing other people’s makeup. I started with my own funds, my own way and made a lot of money doing what I love to do.

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.
Being an entrepreneur can be uplifting, encouraging, brave and tough. A lot of people do not understand that when a person is betting on themselves for the benefit of others is stressful. Having no financial help or guidance in the beginning of my career was hard. For anyone that wants to be an entrepreneur, keep all of your ideas to yourself, when you’re excited about a new venture keep it to yourself. People will take away your hope in a few seconds, stay strong through struggles, keep researching and learning and make it happen.

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 my friends to a place where theres music and a good time. We like to sit and be pretty but who doesn’t love a singalong? I would introduce them to the best food spots to get the ultimate experience of what that establishment has to offer. A trip to the beach would be nice scenery, where we would have talks about life, our dreams and mental health conversation.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like do dedicate a shout out to my beautiful clients and my awesome team. My clients are the ones who helped me become who I am today. They stayed down with me as I grew to become a better makeup artist. Without them, I would not be the entrepreneur I am today. I have other businesses and projects in the works just for them. Me and my team work extra hard to give the best content, products and business! Shout to my team, @1riqo on ig
