Okiki Podcast: Making Inspirational People Known- Finding Your Purpose and the turning points that Propel You to Success

When I first saw Celai on LinkedIn, I was blown away. She had an impressive video of her runway walk, and she was the youngest active LinkedIn user I had ever seen. She also stated she was a curly hair activist and the youngest runway model in the world! I knew I had to get to know this young lady and learn how at such a young age, she was able to make a statement about her natural beauty as a young African-American girl, rocking her natural hair and making such a huge impression on the fashion world with her personal brand.

Celai West, pronounced "sah-LAY", is a quirky eleven year old STEMgirl who is making waves in the fashion, runway, vlogging and acting industry, all while proving you can never be too cool for school. She changed the industry standards when she became the youngest professional runway model to walk amongst an all-adult lineup in NYFW, at just ten years old. West can regularly be seen walking the runways along-side some of the best supermodels in the business.

Celai began print modeling when she was five, doing runway shows when she was six, started acting and became the CEO of her own t-shirt line, TheChattyChick.com, at seven, walked in NYFW for the first time at eight, had her first viral video at nine, earned her second viral runway video and co-authored her first book at ten. Now that she's eleven, she will become the youngest show producer to produce a NYFW show this September with The Industry Fashion Show.

Celai has worked with major brands such as Target, Walmart, Amazon, Gap, Disney and Allstate and was the leading lady in Willy Williams' music video "The Voodoo Song" that has been viewed over 18 million times! She also appeared in "I Am My Own Mother" which was selected to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 2018.

Celai West was recently featured on Vogue Italia and Good Morning America, has appeared on two news channels, two talk shows, eleven magazine covers and published inside several magazine issues and newspapers. Many of her images, as well as videos, have been shared on social media in viral numbers, including two viral runway videos that have been viewed more than 25 million times collectively. Please be sure to check out her Press page.

After several unpleasant experiences with stylists who were unknowledgeable on how to style her hair while on set, Celai and her mom teamed up to create their own hair tutorials. They expected to help show styling and hair care techniques for ethnic textured hair but were pleasantly surprised to find that their videos were a hit and over six have received viral numbers.

West looks forward to continuing to break barriers while working hard in the classroom and prove that models ARE indeed smart too. Please be sure to subscribe to her blog to keep abreast of all the great things she's up to!

Top 5 Takeaways:

1. Value and Embrace Culture

Adapt the mindset of "What can my culture offer another culture?". Abigail, having moved from Nigeria to Canada on her own, has realized just how different but important culture is. She considers herself to be in a unique position where she can where cultures can be interwoven to create something beautiful. She is gifted in recognizing where Nigerian culture can strengthen Canadian culture and vice versa. Valuing culture allows her to offer more to her clients and encouraged a growth mindset to bring out the best of culture in all situations.

2. Mentorship is Key

Having a mentor is key, Abigail believes to success. The ability to learn from those who have already walked the same path – their mistakes and successes – allows her to set herself up for success. Mentorship is not selective to other event planners but in all areas of building a platform – business, social media, finances, etc.

Early on she decided that she was going to pursue a career in Law. After four years of constant rejection from Law School she decided to apply again in Canada, being accepted at the U of S. It was through this that she discovered and embrace her gifting for event planning and started a company!

5. Embrace a Determination Mindset and Remember Gratitude

Fear and lack of confidence can seem like insurmountable mountains to overcome, but by being determined and choosing to keep pressing forward when you want to quit. Being grateful is one way to turn fear into confidence. Abigail chooses to be thankful to God for His thankfulness and provision in her life. By believing each day that God has called her to this, she overcomes fear and lack of confidence and is determined to continue forward knowing that He has been faithful and will remain faithful to her. Faith and gratitude have seen Abigail thrive in her business.

Awasis Boutique was founded by Christine Marie, a proud Metis/Filipino mama of two, who enjoyed sewing cute, comfy, practical + quality items for her boys, because shopping for little boys can be hard! After receiving continuous orders of custom bibs and aprons and interest from others, Christine did some research to see if there was an Indigenous baby line in Saskatchewan. To her surprise, there was no such thing. Thus, Awasis Boutique was born out of her home in February 2018. Awasis means "child" in Cree.

Awasis Boutique is the first Indigenous inspired baby and kids fashion line within Saskatchewan that features custom bibs, blankets and onesies, toddler tees, mama tees and more.

Within the onesie/tees collection, you will find phrases in the Cree and English languages. Examples of phrases: "Bannock Baby" "Just Jigging" + "I love Kokum".

During the first year of business, Christine partnered up with 11 retailers which include the Royal University Hospital, Wanuskewin stores, Batoche Gift Shop, Ready Set Baby and more within the Saskatoon area. She also partnered with stores in Regina, Prince Albert and Calgary, AB.

Christine is a Metis mama who is dedicated to giving back to the community and on a mission to promote, celebrate and educate people about the Indigenous culture one product at a time.

About the Founder:

Christine Marie graduated with honours in 2010 at the U of S through Suntep with a Bachelor of Education with her teaching subjects being Home Economics and Native Studies.

Christine taught for a few years before stepping into the role of motherhood. While teaching, she devoted much of her time to helping at-risk youth and had a passion to inspire specifically, Indigenous youth. She has shared her life story at a variety of local reserves and youth groups about overcoming stereotypes as a Metis woman.

She was the first within her immediate family to graduate from Post-Secondary and now, start and launch her own business. Hard working, passionate and fun are a few words that describe her well.

Some other fun facts include:

Anthem Singer in Cree + English for SK Rattlers 2019

CBC Future 40 recipient 2018

Anthem Singer for SK RoughRiders 2016/2017

Top 5 Takeaways:

1. Recognize The Gap

Have eyes to see what gap(s) there are in your community and culture. Determine and understand how you are able to stand in the gap(s) and be the bridge to what is missing in your community and culture. By bridging the gap(s) you are giving voice to a need that many will recognize but not be in a position to bring change. Christine saw a gap and as she stepped many confirmed that there was a gap and that she was in fact, bridging it in.

2. Embrace "YOU"

Release stereotypes that you and others place on yourself and develop a growth mindset about culture and heritage and the influence both culture and heritage have in shaping you as an individual.

This mindset creates compassion and drive to see others no longer live in shame because of their culture and heritage but rather embrace and value what they have to offer.

3. Authentic Branding Matters

In order to build your following base products, phrases, and wording must align with what the branding speaks to. Christine made modifications to her branding to ensure that material was authentically made, and sourced out ways to increase the authenticity of her brand so that when individuals would ask questions, she would be prepared and genuine in answering them.

4. Set Realistic Goals

Recognize, understand and embrace your limitations and set goals that work within those limitations, keeping in mind that goals can be changed and readapted along the way. Example: Currently Christine has the ability to immerse herself full-time into business but her life circumstances do not allow for her to take this on and has had to set the realistic goal that currently she is only able to take on business on a part-time basis. This is a choice she has made in order to be present with her children before they begin school. Christine knows this will not always been the situation and so has her eyes set to the future when her children are in school and she is able to adapt her life to promote business on a full-time basis.

5. Empower Others Through Community

Christine is passionate about empowering other Indigenous women entrepreneurs and youth with cultural and entrepreneurial skills. She believes this can be accomplished through building community and relationship with those she meets. Christine endeavors to empower communities to learn, rise, grow, embrace, achieve and thrive as they succeed in life.

Meet Santia Deck, recently named the highest paid female football player in the WFLA.

SUBSCRIBE:

CLICK BELOW TO JOIN THE WAITLIST!

The Queens of Abs, Santia Deck, is a Certified Trainer and Social Media Influencer with over 300,000 loyal and engaged followers. A former Track and Field Collegiate Athlete, she now plays Flag Football for the USA and Rugby for the Harlequins (was training to make the USA Rugby Team) and is a 2020 Olympic hopeful.

Santia is a published Author, a Fitness Model, TV Personality (Steve Austin's Broken Skull Ranch), Public Speaker, and a TV Host.

Santia Marie Deck was born in Greenville, SC and raised in Houston, TX. She has been running after her dream of success since childhood; and now Santia inspires others with her determination.

Be sure to follow Santia on all her platforms. Check out her handles below:

Instagram: @trackbaby001 https://www.instagram.com/trackbaby001/

LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/santia-deck-033b6b85/

Snapchat: Trackbaby001

Top 5 Takeaways:

1. Work & Life Balance: Find It Or Burn

You can only give 100% to multiple passions before it becomes unhealthy and burnout occurs. Through the process of burning out with Flag Football and Rugby schedules and competitions, Santia learned the process of maintaining a healthy balance and the work it took to return from burnout. Being proactive going forward and making intentional choices to maintain wholeness and balance is KEY to longevity in an arena or platform.

2. Pursue Education

Santia is a believer in education. With a Major in English and Minor in Psychology, she knows the benefits of education, not only professionally but personally as well. Santia loves to use her position of influence to inspire young girls to pursue their dreams and knows that education is one pathway to seeing dreams fulfilled. She uses her own education to demonstrate to young girls that they too can pursue an education.

3. Team Relationships & Life Relationships are Key

As an athlete Santia specifically values relationships as she knows that relationships in the arena of competition can be difficult to come by. Team mentality teaches you to protect your own but to see the opposing team as rivals only. Through her transition from Flag Football to Rugby, Santia learned a new way of thinking about Team and Relationship as Rugby mentality is supportive of all teams – even opposing ones – and building relationship with one another off the field.

Santia has also learned the important of Life Relationships. As an athlete can become consumed with what she called – Wake. Train. Sleep. Mentality. She knows the importance in having relationships and friendships that bring you out of the isolating training routine of being an athlete and is intentional about spending quality time in those relationships and maintaining a healthy balance between training and relationships.

4. Set Big Goals

Always have your eyes fix forward and give yourself goals to work towards. Santia currently has her eyes set on attending the 2024 Olympics with her Rugby team, as well as speaking and publishing books on a global scale.

5. Brand Is More Than One Platform Profession

Santia believes that Brand is more than just one platform profession, that she is more than an athlete. She is an author, speaker, model, athlete, influencer… and brand needs to encompass all platforms she chooses to stand on. Brand is also having the gift of influence within each platform and this is what Santia is grateful for most.
