My business is beauty, but it wasn\u2019t always.<\/p>\n

I would spend countless hours watching videos, practicing on a mannequin or my mother. Throughout that summer, I worked on social media to try to create a brand for myself even though I couldn’t actually take on any clients. I also learned so much about the business world and what really goes into it from finances to marketing. It was tough to start since everyone was so fearful of being around one another, but I had to do the most with what I had.<\/p>\n
