Last year I stumbled across this amazing person while scanning through youtube videos in my boredom. I cannot believe what a strong, kind and talented person Kandee Johnson is.
She is a professional make-up artist that has worked on movie sets with celebrities as well as normal day folk such as brides or her friends. What makes her such an inspiration is her story and how she got to be where she is today. I'll try and briefly explain but go check out her blog and videos if you want a more rounded story.
At a young age she got married to a guy who was not the best for her. She had a son and struggled living with this guy who did not treat her well. She felt like her dreams were dying but managed to get away. Then she ended up marrying another guy who was also not the best choice. She had another son and a daughter at a very young age. Again she felt her dreams falling apart but she finally managed to break away and start her career. She had gone to beauty school and knew she wanted to do make-up so she fought to follow her dream.
That is a small summery that may not be as clear as she could tell it but to me she is an inspiration. She came out of probably one of the darkest times in her life and realized her dream. She supports herself and her kids while having plenty of ideas to make other peoples lives better. She makes her own videos and edits them herself, she makes jewelry and she paints. She may not be a cyber artist but I think she is an inspiration to all artists. She shows that we might not make it on the first try but if you keep trying you will make a break through. Personally I want to be an artist like her. One that is kind, full of creativity and uses her talents to make herself and others happy.
