MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY
So on 31 January Vault Cosmetics launched in Bulawayo and I
got the chance to do a brief one on one interview with the lovely Jackie Mgido
so she could tell me more about her dream and how the journey has been.
Oh my dear Lord this
was a big deal for me. I am a big advocate for women going out there and
achieving their dreams and excelling. I must
admit however, that being in the presence of an internationally acclaimed make –
up artist made me nervous but the fact that she was very humble and down to
earth eased my nervousness away kkkk.
And this is how it went:
Q. Who is Jackie Mgido?
A. Jackie is a simple Zimbabwean woman, who had a dream and
decided to do make up for us by one of us.
Q. Ok, so why make up. Why not shoes,
or handbags?
A. Well growing up I had a lot of insecurities, there were a
lot of things I didn’t like with the way I looked so I thought I could correct
it with make-up.
Q. So Jackie you started your make-up
way back when make-up was frowned upon, did that have a negative impact on your
dream?
A. Not exactly, my father also was not a big fan of me
applying make-up, but I was so good with it that I would put it and he would
not even notice that I was wearing any. That motivated me even more to pursue
my dream
Q. How do you manage to be this
humble when you have worked with big stars such as Jamie Foxx and John Legend?
A. ....(chuckles) well there is no other way, I don’t know no other
way, kkkk I mean I have always been
grateful, and I feel like if you grateful and God has given you something there
is only one other way to be and that is being grateful.
I felt so motivated after my chat with Jackie and I hope you
will feel the same after reading this.
And guys, there is no reason for you not to go after your
dreams.
Our biggest fear is that it has never been done, what if I
fail? What if it all goes wrong? Well what if it all goes so right and you
achieve your wildest dream?
Take this simple Zimbabwean lady who had a dream and despite
all the challenges, she went after her dreams and today she is the face and
brains behind the Vault Cosmetics brand.
Go ahead yall and do your thing and while you at it don’t
forget to walk into a Truworths Store and get VAULTED!!!!!!
God Is Love
