@oneshothairawards Intricate Braids & Twists Awardee for the 2nd year IN A ROW!! This is such a huge blessing to receive an award within a category that means so very much to me. To win Intricate Braids & Twists back to back is the most incredible feeling!! This recognition and celebration of my work is proof that I am on the right path, that pursuing my passion has paid off and that you can truly accomplish whatever you put your mind to, if you never give up, never allow others to block your vision, and always stay true to what you believe ♥️ I mentioned in my acceptance speech that when I was in cosmetology school, I was told I would never make it as a Braiding and Styling Specialist... I can honestly and confidently say that I am truly living out my dream of being a Braiding and Styling Specialist and am so damn proud of myself for always trusting that I will continue to find my way, even when others cannot see where my path is taking me. Thank you so much to @marybehindthechair @kevin.givens @kenzhowarth and the entire @behindthechair_com team for this incredible opportunity. @behindthechair_com has changed my life in the best way possible, and I am truly so forever grateful ♥️ Thank you to my sisters @brina.1.1 and @lannadevelops for being my best friends and #1 supporters since day one, allowing me to braid their hair before I even knew what I was doing. Thank you to my friends for always following along with me during this crazy journey, supporting me every step of the way. Thank you to my fiancé @_steve_springer for his constant support and accepting that I will forever have braided wigs and mannequin heads all over our house and also, for being with me at the award show to be my hype man. Thank you to my @caidymariebeauty team for always holding down the salon while I’m away and being my non stop hype girl squad. Thank you to everyone that voted for me, supports my page and continues to stick by my side. I’m so incredibly appreciative ♥️ This means EVERYTHING to me!
