Today we’d like to introduce you to Sacha Kemp.
Hi Sacha, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I have been in the Beauty, Fashion, Fitness and entertainment industry for over 20 years. In Los Angeles, I did hair and make-up on the side as I worked as an actress in TV And film.
I wanted to start a family so I got married and moved to Alabama. Then after my divorce (at the time working with my husband being a real estate agent and an Investor) I moved back to GA.
I am originally from the Bahamas, then we moved to GA, then I moved to LA.
So now back in GA, I needed something to support myself so I got into PMU, permanent makeup doing the service of microblading and microshading. It’s now been five years. That business is called Sacha K brows.
In between that, I was always into fashion whether it was designing my own clothes or helping style models for photoshoots. About seven years ago I started a journey of developing my own shoe design from scratch! After a while that took a toll on me financially and mentally. So I stopped that and now I have an athleisure fitness line called SACHA SABIO.
As far as the fitness goes, I am a certified trainer with ISSA and I have teamed up with my partner and we have an online fitness program called CS21 FITNESS. It is jammed-packed with tons of at-home and in the gym workouts for all levels, including meal plans and supplements.
For the entertainment industry, I have an interview show called ‘In Bed With Sacha’ where I interview celebrities and everyday people about everyday life experiences and their journeys. Kinda like Oprah meets Elan… I am definitely more on the silly comedic side. You can find that on youtube at SachakempTV.
With all these talents under my belt, I am definitely a multidimensional woman of the 20th century.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
No, it was NOT a smooth road! I have encountered MANY challenges along the way. As far as learning a new skill with microblading, I was super scared to cut into people’s faces. With hair and makeup you can just wash your face off if a client doesn’t like your make up but with permanent makeup/Tatto, you can’t. So that was a lot of pressure. I didn’t want to mess up, especially on someone’s face. So I tried to quit a couple of times and plus I was going thru my separation/ divorce so my spirits were very low. There were a lot of dark days while I was practicing and getting over the learning curve, BUT I persevered and made it through to be one of the best in Atlanta and LA.
As far as the shoes, I got scammed a lot, I lost about $10,000 in different areas. I had a consultant scam me and gave me a sample of my shoe, which was just a shoe from some other name brand and told me that was my sample. I said, ‘It doesn’t look anything like the shoe I designed!’. He said, ‘that it’s just for the fit so try it on’. My stupid butt was trying on the shoe talking about ‘oh it feels good’ lol… then I saw the same shoe in Macy’s on display. Then the developer (the guy between me and the factory in China) told me one time that the factory person disappeared and he can’t get in contact with them so we have to go somewhere else and find another factory. At this time I would’ve already paid a down payment to start the shoes. So then I had to start all over. So finally I flew down to China JUST to meet this person I was giving my money too, and then and only then after lots of pain and suffering later… I finally got my 1st order of shoes made.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?

Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
Yes, I learned a lot from the pandemic. Mainly I learned not to live in fear…Fear of dying. I think once you can accept the fact that someday you’re going to leave this earth and it’s actually ‘OK’…then it will give you some peace of mind. At first when the pandemic started, I was so scared and all I could think about is how I didn’t want to die especially the way I was seeing on the news and on social media. But once I just got over it, I didn’t want the fear to control me anymore. I was able to release a lot of anxiety and worry. FEAR controls you, so in order to live your BEST life, you can NOT live in fear!
