Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kayla Cummings. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Kayla, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
Dollz & Queenz was created with the idea of allowing people to express themselves freely on a non-bias platform in relation to their desires, opinions, experiences or the need for education in regards to any type of body enhancement procedures. Dollz & Queenz promotes love, acceptance, and non-judgement of people regardless to their DNA (race, background, sexual orientation, sexual identity, etc.)The Dollz & Queenz platform was designed with “People of Beauty” in mind. Beauty meaning feelings of love, confidence, giving of yourself to others. Beauty can be projected to others through something as simple as giving a hug to someone, this is an expression of inside beauty. Beauty is an emotion. Beauty, one has to project actions of beauty. Everyone whether they admit it or not wants to be complimented or recognized about an accomplishment that they have successfully “conquered!” In short “Acknowledgement” gives people a sense of satisfaction, acceptance, and a formal approval as to what they did was correct, and accomplished. Once achieved, a person develops a sense of beauty…they are now the center of attention in their specialty area of their accomplishment. Hence: A naturally beautiful woman will apply makeup to enhance her beauty in other words, she applies the make up to gain more recognition about how she looks. She may already understand or have confidence with her beauty. However, a little more acknowledgement will work just fine! Another example may be a straight/heterosexual male who has a nice physique attends the gym or has a regular workout routine to develop a 6 pack abdomen or continue to maintain his physique! Those are just 2 examples of to describe/breakdown the meaning of beauty as an emotion. It’s important in the world we live in today to offer people a voice, a spotlight, a place where they are comfortable speaking about themselves, their opinions on the subject matter and or an experience they may have endured. The Dollz & Queenz platform allows this type of experience for guests on our show. As the host of the show, I always tell the guests that their story may help another person make a decision, a choice to or not to have body enhancement procedures, their story may help someone whom is coping with acceptance of a sexual identity crisis, their story may help, and will help someone out there in the universe. As the host, I further explain to guests that if their story touched 1 person in the universe not only did they save or help another person but it gives the “Dollz & Queenz” Talk Show satisfaction that our mission was accomplished so another mission completed shall we say! Note: This assists people mentally to possibly overcome a hurdle or get through that dark tunnel they are trying so hard to see the light! Mental illness is real! Especially in the world we live in today. Social Media is one of the largest marketing audiences that can impact one’s mindset as a high or low. All of what you see on social media is not true. It’s marketing! We all are subjects to this.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
About me: A medical professional for 20+ years as a licensed nurse. I mentally told myself at the beginning of my young career to live life and not allow life to live for me. My thoughts: Live as I want to live, not to live as others would like me to live or view me as a person they want me to be. For example: parents, relatives etc may want an individual to become an attorney, when in fact they like to read but would rather be an author writing books. An another example may be in the area of fashion: Wearing the top brands or top clothing trends doesn’t justify a person as looking beautiful. Be unique, love and stay true to myself throughout my life. Oprah Winfrey whom I admire quotes: “Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life because you become what you believe” I personally maintain a sense of being humble, blessed and thankful for ALL things. Turn negative into positive on all levels. I’m saying all of this to say that: being a nurse in the medical field….I work around sick and dying people everyday. Some whom are sick due to life habits, DNA, or just not paying attention to and attending to their body. Just like a car needs cared for or it will break down and won’t work. However, your body isn’t a machine I get it, but the concept is that your body will break down just the same. One must have a stable physical, mental, and spiritual state of being to survive in today’s world. Dollz & Queenz Brand promotes, supports, encourages and educates on a non-bias platform that provides love, acceptance, determination, resolution in reference to guests discussing their story with others, while being challenged to the why, by the DQ Advisors. It allows a discussion, resolution with reasoning as to why they had body enhancement procedures. It allows others to be educated and question why they did or did not have body enhancement procedures. It allows for the education as to what others have or have not experienced in reference to body enhancement procedures. People want to tell their stories about their experiences and not just have a question answer session. Dollz & Queenz prides ourselves on having discussions on an open non-bias platform about discussions that are considered taboo.
