We recently connected with Daisha Breedlove and have shared our conversation below.
Daisha, appreciate you joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
The first time I realized that I wanted to be a creative and work for myself was when I was around 14 years old. I was always obsessed with the entertainment industry and some thing about it intrigued me. Then I finally was in my first fashion show and the feeling was incredible. I then new that I was big city living in a small town and I had to make a plan to get out and pursue my dreams. I then moved to Kentucky first and was working retail, and thats when I realized money can’t buy happiness and I had to go to California to pursue my own dream and not someone else’s . I then took a leap on faith and moved to California at age 20 to pursue to modeling and acting career and everything changed from there. I was finally in a place where I didn’t feel like a outcast and I was now surrounded by my other fellow creatives. Everything changed from there.
Daisha, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My name is Daisha Marie Breedlove , and Im originally from Indianapolis, Indiana who now is living her dream in Los Angeles California. My motto in life has always been ” do what sets your soul on fire” and I did just that. I am a model, actress , host and business owner of a cosmetic line called It Factor Global. I started off being a model at the age of 16 and I love being a entertainer and creative. I believe was sets me apart from others is my love for humanity. Everything I do in my life is focused on positivity and being a light in the world and thats why I created my podcast “Daisha Breedlove Presents” which highlights inspirational people doing inspirational things that can help make your life a better one.
One of my most proudest moments thus far would be me starting my cosmetic line ‘IT FACTOR GLOBAL” with the motto “a charm that inspires”. Some people say you are born with the IT FACTOR , and others say its something that grows on you ..regardless when you wear our products you will feel like a super star! I introduced the brand with a Red cruelty free lipstick called “Spellbound” which is available now.
The history behind red lipstick was so inspiring to me. It goes back to the surrogate movement in the 1800s where women were not allowed to vote, so them wearing Red lipstick was like a power move stating “because Im a women you can’t silence me and I deserve equal rights as men do.” Spellbound represents ENERGY, POWERFUL, AND COURAGE, making every women feel beautiful and confident inside and out.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
What drives me on my creative journey is being a light in this world and making it a better place . The world is dark enough and we need more creatives who are inspiring through there arts, rather that Is acting, song writing or starting a business that helps others. That is also part of the reason why I started my cosmetic line IT Factor Global, it show cases confidence , energy , and a charm that inspires which is our motto.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding part of being a creative is the feeling you get when you inspire someone. It makes you want to just keep putting out content, as well as products that truly make this world a better place. Having someone tell you, you made me want to pursue this , or your lipstick gave me a confidence I never felt before is an incredible feeling and very rewarding.
