Today we’d like to introduce you to Lakeasha Jackson.
Hi Lakeasha, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My name is Lakeasha Jackson. I am a model, an actor, an entrepreneur and also the founder of the newly birthed cosmetic line VIVALUX7. VIVALUX7 is an everyday wear cosmetic line started by myself in 2018 to offer luxury cosmetic products across the globe. Having a huge passion for the beauty industry, along with being faced at the young age of 17 with the brutal murder of the man who would’ve been my husband, he was my son’s dad. He was my everything, that summer of 2008 tarnished my entire life, it rewrote my future because not only did it leave me a heartbroken single mom of a 7-month-old baby boy, but yet a single “teen mom”, it honestly left me mentally and emotionally paralyzed.
I’ve spent many years praying and planning different ways to turn my numbness, pain, ambitions & aspirations into my very own legacy. My love for beauty has always been very vivid in my life, which led to me working in the industry even years prior to attending Aveda Institute of New Orleans, graduating in Esthiology Science in 2016, I am a Board Certified Licensed Aesthetician. A jack of all trades, yet I’m still learning to fully embrace my strengths, it’s a daily decision for us to shift our prospectives and focus on our blessings. I’ve only shared one testimony with you all just now but it’s so many more that I know will touch your heart as time progresses. I honestly don’t know how I’m still standing but as I type this… I keep hearing something say, “it was simply God’s grace that has kept you here.” I was born to shine the love of God globally to empower, educate and instill both inner and outer self-love /confidence in today’s society. I’m living proof that what doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger. VIVALUX7 Cosmetics represents strength and beauty both while encouraging others to NEVER give up. Pressure definitely creates diamonds.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. The murder of my son’s dad left me so broken, which led to years of PTSD. I’m honestly still in my healing process 12 years later but with God on my side, I’m determined to turn all my pain into fulfilling my purpose. Another struggle has been not fully being focused consistently, Focus and consistency are both very vital to success.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
VIVALUX7 cosmetics is here to display the beauty within strength. I am a Board Licensed Aesthetician, I specialize in skin care, eyelash extensions, and makeup artistry. I’m known for modeling, acting and just striving daily to be a huge motivation to all. What sets me apart from others is the fact that I’m a survivor. I’m living proof that what doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger. I’m here to show and tell the world that as long as you still have a pulse, God has a purpose for your life.
My most proud moment in business was the day I started shipping international orders. My first international order was shipped to Canada! I was so excited. I’d love for readers to know that I’m new to the Atlanta area and that I’ll be officially offering services this Summer! The services will range from facials, mink eyelash extensions, makeup applications, and also business advice/consultations. Currently, my store is an e-commerce store open 24 hours, seven days a week. The products that are sold consist of mink eyelashes, body scrubs, body butters, lipglosses, Caribbean Glow Body oils, rose facial water sprays and so much more.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
My definition of success is touching lives globally and truly making a difference. It’s someone hearing my story while they’re at rock bottom in life and suddenly feeling inspired to never give up, no matter what life throws their way. Success to me isn’t all about finances. It’s about digging deep, coming to terms with WHO you really are at the core and striving to fulfill your purpose in life. It’s about being genuinely happy when the day is over and you’re all alone… are you happy? That’s true success to me.
