Sucandra Marbury | Founder of Jazzy Lash Co.

My ultimate goal is to pass on to my children a legacy of character and faith.

Phillip Buss | Fitness Consultant & Model

What I leave behind in life will be determined when I leave it. However, I hope that one of the things I can categorize as my legacy would be the lives I’ve impacted and the points of views that I’ve helped to shift.

I want people to remember me for my uplifting words and artwork and my kind and loving spirit. Leaving a long lasting legacy is my ultimate goal. To ensure that legacy, I’ve created an organization called Thenakedview. Read more>>
