Today we’d like to introduce you to Kinley Coggins
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My story would be having to overcome adversity that I faced not once, but twice. I got hurt in 8th grade playing basketball. I tore 3 ligaments in my right knee. Of course, I had to have surgery and be non weight bearing for 10 weeks. My recovery took fifteen months. I went to high school, I was playing basketball and was doing great. My senior year with only eleven games left, I tore my left ACL and 3 other ligaments. I was 8 weeks non weight bearing this time. My basketball career was over. Now I’m in college for Dental hygiene. I love being in the gym working out. I model and do social media as well.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Tearing both ACL’s was definitely a challenge.
Overall, the journey has been rewarding, but tearing both ACLs was a huge challenge that taught me resilience and the importance of self-care. That experience shapes how I work on social media, especially in my brand collaborations—I’m much more intentional now, partnering with brands that truly align with my lifestyle and wellness goals. Whether it’s GRWM videos or new product finds, I want to keep things real and share only what I genuinely love and use. It’s amazing to connect with my followers through this journey, showing them the value of balance and authenticity.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I model for a few different brands. I’ve recently gotten very into that. It’s something I love to do! I post on social media too about my life, GRWM, and just song videos.
I’ve recently gotten really into modeling for a few different brands, and honestly, it’s become one of my biggest passions! There’s something about bringing a brand’s vision to life while blending it with my own style that’s just so exciting. Whether it’s skincare, fashion, or lifestyle products, I love experimenting with new products, sharing my real thoughts, and finding creative ways to make each collaboration feel authentic and personal.
Posting about it on social media is something I enjoy just as much! Through my GRWM posts, I get to bring people behind the scenes of my day-to-day—everything from beauty routines to prepping for a photo shoot. It’s fun to show the process, especially since a lot of the products I use in my posts are part of brand partnerships or things I’ve discovered through collaborations. I always try to share how these products actually fit into my routine, so my followers can see that it’s more than just another product; it’s something I’m genuinely using.
And of course, music has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I played the mandolin and would sing. So I love all things music. I post a ton of song “sound” videos using artists songs while showcasing outfits.
