In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Brenda Nanjovu—a makeup artist, cosmetologist, beautician, and esthetician—whose journey into the beauty industry is anything but traditional.
Brenda once dreamed of becoming a lawyer and even studied industrial psychology, but after facing career frustrations in the corporate world, she discovered her true passion in makeup and skincare. What started as a survival move turned into a calling rooted in touch, healing, and transformation.
She opens up about:
✨ How losing her job led her to discover her talent through prayer and purpose.
✨ Why she left corporate life for beauty and never looked back.
✨ Balancing motherhood and business, including how pregnancy inspired her to travel to Bangkok at six months pregnant to learn microblading.
✨ The challenges of beauty standards shaped by social media and how she educates clients to embrace their unique features.
✨ Why skincare, mental health, and inner confidence are the real foundation of beauty.
✨ Her vision to expand into education, mentoring, and advocacy to transform the industry.
Brenda reminds us that beauty is not one-size-fits-all—it’s deeply personal, ever-changing, and starts from within. Her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and passion.
