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

Devinair, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?

As I reflect on my journey, my aspiration is not only to be remembered as a creator of jewelry but also as someone who recognized the profound transformative potential within adversity, drawing from personal experiences and shared narratives. Beyond the scars of trauma and the weight of life’s challenges, lies a reservoir of strength and resilience waiting to be tapped into. I’ve come to believe that it is our ability to transmute pain into strength and adversity into opportunity that defines our greatness. In a world often indifferent or hostile, discovering the duality within ourselves allows us to step into the role of protagonist, empowered with boundless potential. This, I believe, embodies the essence of the ‘greats’—those who embrace their inner journey and emerge as architects of their own destiny.

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.

I’m Devinair Mathis, the Founder of Vibr8ions. My journey into entrepreneurship was sparked by a deep passion for self-development, faith, and fashion. Recognizing the power of combining these elements, I set out to create handmade, stylish pieces that not only elevated my personal style but also raised my internal vibration, allowing me to look and feel my best while wearing them. It was this fusion of self-expression and spiritual elevation that inspired me to launch Vibr8ions with a vision to elevate the internal frequency and help individuals connect with their personal power.

My journey into entrepreneurship wasn’t a conventional one. It was born out of a deeply personal quest for self-discovery and spiritual growth. The year 2020 presented immense challenges for all of us, and it was during this time that I embarked on a journey of healing and self-reflection.

I took the opportunity to dive into my own healing journey, confronting personal traumas and addressing the difficult hardships I had faced throughout my life. One pivotal experience during this time was the journey of mending the relationship with my absent father. Through difficult conversations and soul-searching, I gained a new perspective on his absence and found the strength to begin healing those wounds.

This breakthrough sparked a profound realization within me – that healing and growth are ongoing processes that extend into all areas of our lives. It was during this time of introspection that I became even more fascinated by the transformative power of self-development practices and the guiding influence of faith on our paths.

Alongside my journey of self-discovery, my love for fashion remained a steadfast presence. Fashion became more than just a means of self-expression; it became a tool for empowerment and healing. Through fashion, I found a creative outlet to express my innermost thoughts and emotions, bridging the gap between external style and internal growth.

It was the fusion of these elements – self-discovery, spiritual growth, and creative expression – that laid the foundation for Vibr8ions. With Vibr8ions, I set out to create more than just stylish accessories; I aimed to offer tangible tools for raising one’s vibration, fostering inner alignment, and empowering individuals to embrace their personal journeys of healing and growth.

At Vibr8ions, we offer a curated selection of stylish pieces that seamlessly blend fashion with spirituality and self-expression. Throughout my personal journey, I’ve worked closely with eight particular gemstones – Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Lapis Lazuli, Pyrite, Black Tourmaline, Tiger’s Eye, and Citrine. Each of these gemstones holds unique metaphysical properties that resonate with different aspects of our being.

With positive intentions, I began to feel the transformative power of these gemstones working within me. Now, I’m thrilled to share their energy with others through my collection. The website features a range of handmade accessories adorned with these eight powerful gemstones, each piece designed to elevate your vibration and promote inner harmony.

In addition to the gemstone collection, I recently launched the Angel Number Collection – a series of stylish necklaces that showcase angel number sequences. Angel numbers have been a significant part of my spiritual journey, guiding me and affirming that I’m on the right path. These necklaces serve as a tangible reminder of divine guidance and support, allowing the wearer to carry the energy of angelic presence wherever they go.

Whether you’re drawn to the soothing energy of Rose Quartz or the grounding properties of Black Tourmaline, there’s something for everyone in our collection. Each piece is crafted with care and intention, with the belief that fashion can be a powerful tool for spiritual growth and self-discovery.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Several years ago, shortly after being diagnosed with HIV, my journey began. Spiraling in and out of depression, I grappled with overwhelming feelings of loneliness, navigating the daunting battle against stigma and discrimination. The pain of rejection and prejudice in relationships cut deep, leaving me questioning my worth and ability to ever receive love.

Yet, through the darkness, a flicker of hope remained. Within myself, I discovered an abundant wellspring of love, a force that refused to be extinguished by external judgment. It was this realization that became the catalyst for my transformation. With each step in my healing journey, I embraced my true worth and inner beauty, rising above the barriers society had imposed upon me.

But life, ever unpredictable, held more challenges in store. In 2021, I faced the unexpected loss of my mother, my hero, the one who had always fueled me with hope to persevere. The pain of her passing shook me to my core, challenging my belief in the very essence of existence. Yet, through therapy and mindful techniques, I found a path to acceptance and healing.

In the wake of my mother’s passing, I realized that her spirit lived on within me. I became a vessel for her legacy, carrying forward her wisdom, strength, and love. Though I could no longer see her physically, her presence remained palpable, guiding me through the darkest of moments and inspiring me to continue my journey of growth and self-discovery.

It was out of these experiences, both harrowing and transformative, that Vibr8ions was born. Founded in 2020, Vibr8ions emerged as a beacon of resilience and hope, a testament to my journey of self-discovery and healing. Each piece of jewelry crafted by my hands became not just an expression of artistic skill but a tangible symbol of strength, beauty, and resilience.

Though Vibr8ions was born before her passing, it took on new meaning in the wake of her loss. Her spirit became intertwined with every creation, infusing each piece with her wisdom, love, and indomitable spirit. In honoring her memory, I found renewed purpose and determination to continue my journey, both as an individual and as the founder of Vibr8ions.

Thus, Vibr8ions became not just a jewelry company, but a living tribute to resilience, love, and the transformative power of the human spirit. With each piece I create, I carry forward the lessons learned from my own journey, offering a message of hope and empowerment to all who wear them.

How did you build your audience on social media?

When I first joined TikTok, I recall making my inaugural video. It was an introduction where I shared a bit about myself, my interests, and expressed my openness to engaging with others on their own healing journeys. As time progressed, I delved deeper into sharing personal anecdotes from my own path: from coping with the loss of my mother to living with HIV, along with the myriad challenges and triumphs I encountered. My approach was marked by vulnerability and transparency, qualities that unexpectedly carved out a niche for me. Initially, I hadn’t anticipated this; rather, I found solace in connecting with others worldwide and exchanging insights. Some shared how my stories helped them mend relationships or find the courage to embrace their true selves. For me, TikTok served as an outlet for unfiltered self-expression, free from judgment. As a result of this journey, I’ve expanded my reach beyond TikTok. I now host “The High-Dev Perspective” podcast on Spotify, where I dive into topics on healing, spirituality, and elevating collective consciousness. Additionally, I’ve started live shows on YouTube for those who prefer visual content.

For those aiming to establish a social media presence, I suggest starting with a straightforward approach: list ten things that deeply resonate with you. Create ten videos based on these themes and observe which ones connect most deeply. Whether it’s one topic or several, focus on what truly ignites your passion. I firmly believe there’s an audience for every niche. Allow yourself to learn and grow through your videos. Embracing failure as a means to grow, I remind myself that Rome wasn’t built overnight. Through consistent video creation, I’ve witnessed an evolution in my content. This ongoing journey of self-improvement and creative exploration holds great beauty for me. One key trick I’ve learned is that if you’re not having fun or your vibrations aren’t high while creating it, then it’s not worth the creation.
