We recently connected with Cynthia Appiah and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Cynthia, thanks for joining us today. Have you been able to earn a full-time living from your creative work? If so, can you walk us through your journey and how you made it happen? Was it like that from day one? If not, what were some of the major steps and milestones and do you think you could have sped up the process somehow knowing what you know now?
The Journey to Embracing My Creative Destiny
Growing up, I always felt a strong pull toward a creative career. However, being raised in an African family, the emphasis was often placed on securing a stable income. While I am grateful to my parents for instilling this sense of responsibility in me, I recognized that my true passion lay in creativity.
To honor my parents’ wishes, I pursued both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, with the intention of attending law school. Yet, as life would have it, destiny has a way of guiding us toward our true path. This realization led me to establish my own business, Beauty From Within Coaching & Consulting, where my creativity can truly shine.
With 16 years of video editing experience under my belt, my work has reached audiences far and wide, with my videos and designs being shared extensively. This journey has taught me the importance of following one’s passion, even when it diverges from the expected path.
I firmly believe in taking the road less traveled, for it is often where we discover our true selves and unlock our greatest potential.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
