Keeping It Real with August Willams


Listen Later

August started doing her own hair around age 7 because her mother wasn’t able to keep up – time, money other kids!

As a teenager, she didn’t have the body type that was in style but always felt beautiful. Participation in her church community helped her understand she was blessed to be created this way. She took on purpose with those teachings. Instead of wearing what was in fashion, she sought out clothes and makeup that emphasized HER strengths.

When August became a model, she realized she did a better job emphasizing what made her beautiful with makeup than the artists who just did the same look for everyone. Highlighting what made me her, transformed her into a simple-glamour girl. For the past 9 years, she has been a Freelance Professional Make-Up Artist & Entrepreneur!

As her beauty and social worlds collided, she watched them struggle in people's eyes as they posted selfies. Their captions said what they wanted people to believe about them, but she discerned immediately they didn’t feel that way inside. They were just trying to be what they thought the world and media wanted them to be and were losing themselves in the process.

All of her years in the Beauty Industry had taught her you can’t chase beauty because styles and trends are always going to change. The best thing to do is to accept your reality and highlight your strengths.

Now a Wife, Mother of 4, and a Successful Business Women! August sees true beauty in people, but I am called to help them see it in themselves!
