We had the good fortune of connecting with Queen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Queen, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I pursue a creative career because I genuinely love being creative and I’m naturally a creative person and I’ve always knew that whatever career I had it would involve creativity.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m a Youtuber and content creator and I create beauty and lifestyle content . I started my content creating journey in 2020 and I will definitely say the journey has not always been easy. I’m very grateful for the opportunities that this journey has presented to me but it definitely takes a lot of resilience to keep going . I feel like my passion for creating is what truly keeps me going and also continuing to focus on my end goals are definitely motivation as well. A big lesson that I’ve learned this year is that if you make content around things you’re genuinely passionate about it will usually work out for you and you’ll be a lot happier when you’re creating . I also would say that you have to remember what’s for you will always be for you and it doesn’t matter how many other people maybe be doing the same thing if it’s for you then it will always work out . I’ve always been obsessed with makeup and skincare and now I have been focusing on creating content revolving around that and I couldn’t be happier and I’m truly excited to see where this journey will take me !

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them to steak48 or Capital Grille for a fine dining experience. I would take them to a hornets game or panthers game depending on what the season was . If there were any plays at the time I would take them to go see one . If they wanted to go hookah I would take them to fumee since it has hookah and cute aesthetics and I would take them to the southend area because that’s pretty much where all the new cute bars and lounges are located.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to one of my friends mom,Her name is Mrs. Barfield . During my college years she was very supportive and encouraging to me ! She became like a second mom. She would alway remind me that no matter how hard things got or what I went through in life I could achieve anything I put my mind too! So whenever I’m having a rough patch in life or my plans may not be going the way I want I alway hear her words of encouragement and it keeps me going.
