We were lucky to catch up with Teasha Anderson recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Teasha thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
Well I spent years doing drugs and living on the streets to turn myself into a successful lash artist & master esthetician, I then successfully opened my own company 4 years ago and have been clean since 2016! I then had a sudden and unexpected tragedy occur in 2022 I was involved in a shooting where my ex husband shot my boyfriend 13 times in front of my face almost killing me and killing him, I had multiple injuries and still kept going after a broken wrist, surgery ect , I am now still running my lash business while going to massage therapy school to continue on my own healing path , after having lost mostly every thing and having my civil & legal rights severely affected by the police and government in my current town, I was slandered by the local news lying about my situation and life and have chosen peace and perseverance!
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.

How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
So when my whole life came tumbling down , and a tragic death had occurred I took a 3 week break to have a whole new wrist put in and went back to lashing before I even could start physical therapy I also had severe anxiety & ptsd and managed to keep that manageable to move on and help me and my children grieve while still running my company and starting school for massage therapy this March I began a journey into the healing process of my career
