Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Princess. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Princess, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Has your work ever been misunderstood or mischaracterized?

All the time! I’m in fashion so I love to dress up everyday. My style of fashion is kind of flamboyant, colorful, confident, and, elegant. I get mistaken all the time as a show off or, a party person. When in fact my personality is attracted to safe and, calm environments. I also have natural prominent features that I know can be very intimidating. But hey; I was made this way. I call it the “Naomi Campbell je ne sais quoi.” You know the archetype with the well structured cheek bones, siren eyes, and sultry lips. It’s accompanied with a magnetism that’s alluring, radiant, and, just pure air of regality that commands respect. You can feel the energy. Not everyone gets it though and, instead categorize me with superficial qualities. I’ve learned to focus more on the people who get it. Those are my people.

Another way I’m misunderstood is for enjoying solitude. I’ve realized that people mistake being alone for being lonely. You’re not alone if you like yourself. The mistake people make with me is thinking I value their company more than I value my own. I’m more of an introvert and I tend to always make my plans alone before inviting anyone. Sometimes, people like to invite themselves into my plans. If I’m up for it; great. Sometimes I am not though. I have no problem with vocalizing that I desire solitude. Wow! The amount of people that acknowledge a boundary as a threat. Creators need space to create. I’m just protecting my peace.

I’ve learned through judgements that others make about me that I have to get to know one’s true intentions before I declare a belief about them. A lot of people judge me by what they see on the surface instead of acknowledging the genuineness in my heart. I treat everyone with the same respect. It’s your character that will make me want to stay or flee to safety.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Creativity has always been apart of me. I use my creativity as a tool to help me in situations where I feel abandoned or in danger. I’ve been doing this since I was a child. Magazines, fashion/beauty media, blogs, etc was an escape for me. I chose the creative field over what others wanted for me. This is who I am. My brain doesn’t even function any other way. I got an idea to start a beauty, luxury, and, glamour blog as a teenager. I worked with no pay as an assistant for an up and coming clothing brand at the time. I went to beauty school after high school. I went on to assist in a hair salon working myself to become a hairstylist. I finally found myself building a clientele and working for myself. Something inside me knew that this wasn’t the end for me. I’m meant to expand to something bigger. A traumatic life experience happened to me that involved heartbreak, betrayal, and, greed. The healing from this event cause to me evolve mentally, emotionally, physically, and, spiritually. I’ve always been into personal development. I picked up my first self help book at the young age of 22 while window shopping in a furniture store I’ve always admired called Zgallerie. However, my personal development took on a whole new meaning through my healing journey. It’s been years now that I have sought after therapy, and, life coaching. Every single day I invest knowledge into myself through books, coaching, vlogs, seminars, documentaries, a random person on a street, and, so on. I believe every person we meet have something to teach us. I started to combine my personal experiences with the knowledge I was receiving. I realized that we are all solving for happy. Some of us are just in our own way because we don’t know what we don’t know. Thats where I come in. Because I’ve learned how to unlearn and learn again I want to share the wealth with others. I’m inspired to keep reaching new levels because this isn’t even me in my entirety yet. I’m proud of my commitment and my dedication to myself and to the others. It’s my duty to make sure that every person who leaves my presence leaves wealthier than they came. I’m providing healing strategies, entertainment (beauty/fashion/modeling), personal development, therapy, and, spirituality all at the same time. Anybody that needs direction to grow to meet the higher version of themselves are my people.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

When you’re a creative your work is birthed inside of you. It’s exactly like giving birth to a baby. To watch something go from a vision or, an idea into reality is just beyond magical. It’s unexplainable. Like it’s yours. You created it. The most rewarding aspect is the feeling. The feeling of genuine fulfillment. It’s like holding your brand new baby in your arms for the first time. You’re happy but, you’re crying at the same time. The process that you go through also gives it so much meaning. A great creative project often comes through a source of pain or passion. So, you’re project is the release of that pain. It’s a very healing transition.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

I think that we keep evolving over time. I do see more creatives being recognized. I think that this is a really great time for creatives. But, there’s still work to do. To start, society should just accept us. Accept people who don’t look like you or think like you. It’s okay for us to share the same space. Respect all creative work. Pay us accordingly too. I think that more education should be taught around the value of creative outlet. The world can be a very contradictive place at times. More than ever are people using social media, watching tv, movies, and concerts. The lists goes on. Our creation is needed because without it the world could not survive. A depress world cannot thrive. We play a huge part in society if only more people would just listen.
