AALIYAH

Name/ Blog Name: Aaliyah - As Told by Ali

Age: 23

Country: Antigua 

Profession/Skill: Blogger 

What Motivated you?: I started this blog almost five years ago. At first it was to document my college experiences, but as I grew and got more familiar with myself and the blogging world it began to change. After graduation I began talking about finding my purpose and dealing with the real world. It was at that moment (2016) I knew blogging is supposed to be my thing; inspiring and motivating people is my purpose and being able to do just that motivates me. Sharing my story and connecting with others around the world who feel the same way motivates me.

SASHA, THE ARTIST

Full name: Sasha Herbert aka Sasha, The Artist
Age: 22 years old
Country: Basseterre, St. Kitts! (St. Kitts & Nevis)
Profession/Skill Art Instructor/Host

What motivated you to start doing what you do?
It has always been my goal to use my passion to drive my career. As ​‘Sasha, The Artist’​, my personal brand created in December 2015, I painted commissions, illustrated logos and designed posters for clients and partook in exhibitions to display and sell my own paintings. That sustained me for awhile but I needed more. I began research and was fortunate enough to come across the Paint & Sip industry that deeply inspired me. It was from there on for​ almost two years, I researched even more, planned and developed what is now​ ‘Paint & Sip with Sasha, The Artist’ - ​A​ unique entertainment experience of painting, cocktails and socializing, that hosted its first event in February 2017.
