Awesome, so we reached out because we wanted to hear all about what you have been up to since we last connected.

In all honesty, I’ve been working so hard these last two years. I recently had my first annual Pop-Up Shop with my business brand Doyel’k Cosmetics which took place on December 9, 2023 at the Civic Center back in my home state Mississippi. It was a lot of work but I was able to pull it off. I was able to connect and build relations with small businesses. Im looking forward to my second annual Pop-Up Shop which will take place in South Florida very soon. I’ve also obtained my Florida Real Estate License in January 2020 from Gold Coast school. I also became a Florida Public Notary in 2023. I went back to school recently and graduated from Prestige Health & Beauty Sciences Academy in July 2024 where I obtained my Florida Esthetician License.

I went back to school because I wanted to add more services to my brand. As the CEO of “Doyel’k” Cosmetics LLC. A liking to expand my brand, I’m currently relaunching the Cosmetic Lip Gloss Line with a spring-summer collection. I also have an operating business located in South Florida. I now offer facials, teeth whitening, & waxing services. I’m trusting and I truly believe in my brand with the new added services I’m able to pick up more clients and business will be booming. It’s not easy I’ll tell you that, I even feel at times the support is not there but I’ve invested so much and I truly believe in my brand determined and I won’t give up. I’ve invested in a marketing venture. I’m excited about this new venture because this will help me and all of my marketing and social media platforms overall.

I seize every moment with perseverance, enthusiasm, and prestige. While building up my existing brand, I set goals even higher with aspiring to hit the music scene. I do music as well, I haven’t been in the studio consistently but I’m back now. I’ve been working on my vocals mostly.
