Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Cheyenne Martin . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Cheyenne, 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?
At the heart of my mission lies the Cheyenne Martin Cares Foundation, a testament to my unwavering commitment to fostering positive change. With deep pride, I share that my efforts have garnered recognition from prominent figures. Notably, I have received two Certificate of Recognition from the Mayor of Los Angeles, acknowledging the impactful work carried out through my philanthropic initiatives. In a resounding tribute to these endeavors, February 2nd has been officially designated as Cheyenne Martin Day in Pittsburgh, PA.
Through the Cheyenne Martin Cares Foundation, I channel my passion into uplifting communities, supporting causes that resonate deeply, and extending the hand of kindness to those in need. Beyond the creation of fragrances, my mission transcends olfactory experiences; it is about creating avenues for transformative change, both on an individual and collective scale. This journey is rooted in a genuine desire to make a positive impact, an aspiration that connects my philanthropic work, film production endeavors, and the creation of Kīnd Perfume.
As a film producer at Emerald City Entertainment, my commitment to storytelling goes hand in hand with my philanthropic efforts. In the intricate realm of entertainment, I strive to amplify voices, challenge preconceptions, and inspire thought through meaningful narratives. One such project, the movie “Bridge City,” stands as a testament to this commitment, capturing the essence of Pittsburgh while embodying diverse perspectives. Currently, we’re dedicated to finding the perfect platform to share this impactful story.
In tandem, my own fragrance line, Kīnd Perfume By Cheyenne, symbolizes more than just scents; it represents a tangible embodiment of compassion. This line, which can be exclusively purchased at Beverly Hills Perfumery, carries the spirit of kindness in every bottle. It’s an aromatic reminder that small acts of compassion can lead to significant change.
In this journey of philanthropy, film production, and fragrance creation, the Cheyenne Martin Cares Foundation serves as the compass guiding my endeavors. It stands as a testament to the power of collective action, reminding us that our capacity for change is limitless when fueled by empathy and determination.
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?
Absolutely, I’d be delighted to provide some insight into my journey and the essence of my endeavors. My name is Cheyenne Martin, and I wear multiple hats within the realms of philanthropy, film production, and fragrance creation. My journey began with a profound desire to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
As a film producer at Emerald City Entertainment, I embarked on this path to amplify unique voices and challenge conventions through compelling narratives. This led me to create projects like “When Did The FairyTale Become A Night Mare” a short film about domestic violence and “Bridge City,” a movie that encapsulates the spirit of Pittsburgh while shedding light on diverse perspectives. I’m committed to storytelling that sparks conversations and prompts introspection.
In the world of fragrances, I established Kīnd Perfume By Cheyenne. More than just scents, this fragrance is a reflection of compassion and kindness. Each bottle encapsulates the power of empathy, reminding us of the impact small acts of kindness can have. These fragrances are exclusively available at Beverly Hills Perfumery and my official website www.kindperfume.com
Through the Cheyenne Martin Cares Foundation, my philanthropic efforts come to life. This platform enables me to uplift communities, support causes close to my heart, and extend kindness to those in need. From addressing societal challenges to promoting positive change, this foundation embodies my commitment to a better world.
What sets me apart is the seamless blend of these pursuits. My work spans across entertainment, fragrance, and philanthropy, converging into a holistic vision of creating positive change. I’m most proud of the bridges I’ve built between these diverse realms, proving that our passions need not exist in isolation.
Above all, I want potential clients, followers, and fans to understand that my endeavors are rooted in purpose and empathy. I strive to ignite conversations, inspire action, and remind everyone that even the smallest gestures can create profound ripples of change. So, whether it’s through films, fragrances, or philanthropy, my mission remains the same: to create a kinder, more compassionate world.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
Certainly, let me share a chapter from my journey that underscores my resilience. In 2016, I faced a significant hurdle when I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. It was an incredibly trying period marked by pain, uncertainty, and challenges. The discomfort began in my knees and then extended to my hands, fingers, and back.
Despite grappling with this health setback, I remained steadfast in my commitments. At the time, I had important events lined up for my philanthropic foundation. Among them was an event in my hometown of Pittsburgh that I was determined to attend, even as I battled through intense pain. Simultaneously, I was deeply engaged in scripting projects for the films I was producing.
Navigating this phase was undoubtedly an uphill battle. The pain and discomfort presented immense challenges, especially as I balanced foundation events and creative endeavors. However, I pressed forward, determined to fulfill my commitments and pursue my passion for filmmaking.
This chapter in my journey underscores my resilience in the face of adversity. It’s a testament to my unwavering dedication to my craft, my foundation’s mission, and my own personal growth. While it was an undoubtedly challenging time, I emerged from it stronger, more determined, and deeply committed to making a difference in every endeavor I undertake.
In 2019, I authored a book titled “ReClaiming My Strength,” in which I candidly shared my journey through profound challenges and how I triumphed over them.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
Certainly! The COVID-19 pandemic brought everything to a standstill in 2020, including my film company. It was an incredibly uncertain time, and I found myself at a crossroads. However, during this period of uncertainty, I decided to pivot and explore a new venture. Always having a desire to create my own line of perfume, I took a leap and embarked on the journey of developing Kīnd Perfume By Cheyenne. Despite my initial uncertainty about starting a perfume line, I dedicated myself to relentless research day and night to learn the ins and outs of the industry. This pivot not only opened up a new avenue for me but also showcased the power of adaptability and embracing new challenges.
