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

Hi Vashia, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The genesis of Sevyn 90 was rooted in the objective of promoting self-care among individuals from all backgrounds and lifestyles. Often, amid attending to the needs of others, we tend to neglect ourselves. Through personal growth, I have realized the vital importance of self-care, which has led me to create a luxurious lineup of cosmetics aimed at promoting it. Our all-inclusive cosmetic brand aims to inspire people to prioritize themselves and embrace self-care through our range of products. Sevyn 90’s products are designed to elevate your beauty regime and facilitate your personal growth, empowering you to appreciate your self-worth and beauty. With Sevyn 90, it’s time to nurture and cherish yourself in every aspect.

Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
Throughout my life, I’ve faced a significant share of challenges and obstacles. Nonetheless, I’ve managed to overcome them by engaging in introspection, practicing meditation, and cultivating a positive outlook on life. These efforts have helped me achieve numerous accomplishments, including, most notably, an enhanced appreciation for myself as an individual, and a deep understanding of the value I hold. This realization has instilled in me the belief that self-worth should not be determined by external factors, but rather an internal appreciation of oneself. Therefore, through a renewed focus on self-love, self-care, and self-awareness, I’ve been able to pursue my aspirations regardless of the obstacles placed before me. As such, my hope is to inspire others to embark on a similar journey, one that places significant emphasis on mental health, reduced stress and anxiety, strengthened relationships, and sustainable self-awareness.

I wish to extend my heartfelt appreciation to my beloved mother who has been an unwavering source of support and motivation throughout my life. Her guidance and words of encouragement have been instrumental in shaping my decision-making abilities and personal growth. Despite being a single parent, she always went above and beyond to ensure that I was provided with the necessary resources and affection. I take immense pride in my achievements, including the upcoming completion of my MBA in July, and I am certain that my mother shares the same sentiment. Her unwavering support has been the cornerstone of my success, and I am truly grateful for her constant backing.
