Fete Lifestyle Magazine January 2021 - Success Issue | Page 63

media, social media was not a factor, so you really needed someone else to give you an opportunity to see something special in you and give you the chance to be on camera. I worked very hard to get that chance, but as soon as I could, I became an entrepreneur and started to create my own opportunities. In 2007, I quit my job as a news anchor to create content independently. That led me to win 3 national Emmys, develop a career as a speaker, become a published author, have 40+ million views on YouTube and start my own beauty company (i.e. hair extensions) www.WelcomeAllBeauty.com. Everything started with recognizing that I had to become my own ally and create opportunities for myself even if others did not see the talent or the potential at that time.

FLM: What can your fans and followers expect to see from you over the next year?

GN: Content creation, virtual speaking (hopefully in some months also in person!) and a focus on my direct-to-consumer hair extensions lin. I am becoming super passionate about combining all the storytelling tools that I have with my new passion for e-commerce. I believe that even despite all the challenging and painful situations we are facing, we need to keep seeing the world with all its possibilities. We’re in the beginning of a very exciting chapter for rebel dreamers from all walks of life.
