We recently had the chance to connect with Ms. Latina_Unique and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Latina_Unique , we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
My support system for sure…
being surrounded by genuine, loving & supportive people could be a rarity, but if you have it -you know it’s such a privilege, and a gift.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My pleasure! For those who are new to the chat, my name is Latina, and I am a true entrepreneur by heart…
Some people know of me within the beauty & wellness industry as Mzlatina_Unique, former salon owner of Latina Unique Hair, and also as a Beauty Queen under our Ms. Petite USA platform…
I am a huge advocate for all things health, wellness & beauty…it’s definitely a lifestyle for me, and that is what I do believe has always allowed our brand to stand out…my reach has always been unlimited, and my team & I have only wanted, and took pride in -making individuals feel seen, heard & beautiful wherever they are.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child you want everyone you adore to be happy, and feel love, but once you mature you quickly realize that it isn’t your responsibility to ensure that everyone is happy…
that’s something they will have to want for themselves, and they will have to do the same kind of -inward-work to choose love & happiness each day just like you do.
It’s no shortcuts to genuine happiness, money, fame, securing more goals under your resume, your significant other… these things are an addition, but genuine happiness is simply a choice & no one is responsible for that except you.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I’ don’t hide painful moments/experiences of my life…I’ve always been very free with expressing my happiness/sadness, lbs.
My painful moments were always my weapons I used to prosper… I’ve learned that we as people never go through anything just for ourselves, but it’s also to be a help to others…
So no matter how I come out, I use each test as a testimony -hopeful that I can inspire someone to never give up on God.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whose ideas do you rely on most that aren’t your own?
I rarely do life-changing decisions/things because it’s something I just simply wanted/decided to do…
I am a Christian, and I live a spiritual-faith based lifestyle…I’m always in my devotion asking for guidance, and for my steps to be altered…I’m a firm believer, and absolutely nothing without God.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
Yes, I know this to be true because there was once a time I wasn’t, and now I am & it gives me pure joy…
making a difference in people lives is such a blessing, I’m grateful that I get to do this for a living.
