We recently connected with NaDasia Cochran-White and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, NaDasia thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?
It takes hustle to be successful, most definitely. If you don’t have hustle, that means you don’t have the drive to do the things you love! Success doesn’t mean having a lot of money either. Success means having the freedom to live your life the way you want to, however that may seem. Success doesn’t mean being a celebrity , or even being someone of social status. Success is what you make it!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Hey guys! I’m NaDasia. Born in NYC, raised in Jersey.. east orange to be exact! I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’m known for my makeup artistry , modeling, clothing line, cosmetic line, IT repair and books. I have a lot of talents but my first love is makeup. I’d like to dig more into that passion.
I’ve been doing makeup for 9 years. I first started off at the tender age of 16. Lacking confidence in my looks. It just so happened my first job was Marshall’s and they had me in the make up section! What a coincidence. From there is where the passion was birthed.
I don’t create beauty.. I enhance it! That was something I had to teach myself also. I wore makeup almost everyday when I first started, trying to hide myself. After wearing it for so long eventually, I got tired of it and started loving my own face and my own skin. Makeup became a choice to me. Not something I felt was necessary. This is what I hope to do with young women and men! Help them to realize they already have beauty!
I’m most proud of my work and growth over the years. I want my peers to know that no matter what. Don’t give up!’ Whatever your dream is keep going. Keep working and don’t give up. The day I went to my first make up class , there was a sign posted in the parking lot directly behind me that said “you are exactly where you need to be”. God does everything for a reason and that means he gave you those dreams for a reason. Never give up!
Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)
I think they’re extremely cool! I’d love to get more into them.
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
I wish I would’ve known about vendors, llcs, etc way sooner! I feel this could have helped me elevate to wear I want to be sooner!
