Chasity : I was excited and kind of stunned that you ' d even come across my page let alone take time out to talk to me and have interest in me for your magazine . Definitely made my day well week ... lol .
NeVaughn : And being chosen as our covergirl for our first issue in 2016 Chasity : I ' m ecstatic really . I can ' t wait to see it And show my kids & family , who ' s super supportive . NeVaughn : How many children do you have ? And Tell me just a little more about your family Chasity : I have 2 a little girl Brooklyn 7 and my little boy Braylon 3 . NeVaughn : You come from a Christian background ? Born and raised ? And is that you core ?
Chasity : My family is incredible they literally support my dream and want to see me make it . My mom and dad fully in my corner that ' s the best feeling in the world . I was thinking I have 2 babies I ' m still chasing dreams with my parents approval it ' s not like you have little people looking after you finish your degree and teach , they want me to have my degree but they want me to be happy and they know 4 walls inside any place for too long won ' t do it .
Chasity : I do my dad is a minister and my papas a pastor . And so was my late grandpa NeVaughn : Your son ' s next ?
Chasity : Born and raised in northwest Indiana parents divorced and remarried so it was kind of rough , they had me when my mom was 15 & my dad was 18 , so they were young parents doing the best they could . We ' ve moved around so much I had attended 14 elementary schools and it wasn ' t stable til I got to Jr high and high school .
Chasity : Made a lot of friends though and learned to adapt . That ' s a benefit . NeVaughn : Your parents remarried each other ?
Chasity : You know what , whatever my children express interest in I ' m going to let them pursue , I want them to dream and to set goals and make it happen , to be happy . No my dad married another lady they ' d been married for 21 years then my mom married another man a couple years later .
NeVaughn : ok . I have another question what are you looking for in this industry ? I see your family structure and your career path . How can this industry help you ? And you mentioned you weren ' t married is that do to the industry ? And how can you balance the personal and the professional ?
Chasity : I would say Christianity wise I ' m a spiritual person I go to family Christian center in Munster love the church . But the churches I grew up in well one in particular if that ' s all I had been around I probably wouldn ' t attend church honestly . I ' d believe in God but the whole idea is to do good here before you go , you experience heaven on earth every song I heard well remember that traumatized me was the blood stained banner basically the ultimate goal was dying and that scared me ... lol . Like I know God didn ' t put us on earth to just wait to be put into a coffin . I was easily scared too so I was probably the only one who translated the song into sit and wait to die . In the industry honestly I want financially to make it my source of income one main source . But what really matters to me is using this platform to positively influence women and little girls everywhere that you can still follow your dreams nothing and no one can stop you , but you . And really you can ' t stop you ... lol . You can delay it but can ' t stop it . I actually recently just got into a relationship with a great man who like my family fully supports my dream . Before I was single because at 18 I was married and didn ' t have kids then except my step kids who were old enough to be my younger siblings , but he tried crushing my dream initially it was oh of course baby I want you to be happy and pursue your dreams then it was only your dreams in the Chicagoland area , then it was just nothing he ' d leave and lock me in the house literally I could not get out because I didn ' t have a key to the screen door . So that once I got out of these situation I promised myself I would never allow anyone to dictate to me my life and my dreams ever again . Because at the end you have your regrets and I ' ll have mine and I can ' t say well it ' s all his or her or their fault . No you ' re your own person at the end at judgement day God is gonna say what have You done with Your life , not what did they do or make you do with Your
