How did you get started in this business?
Hello everyone!
My business has been open for about 8 years now, I wanted it to be eye catching so people would ask me why I named my business Crippled but Cute Cosmetics and Artistry so here we go. I had a stroke in 2014-15 and landed in a wheelchair for almost 2 years. I still carried myself as if nothing was wrong just an added accessory of a chair. I constantly was told I don't look sick because I kept myself up. So I thought about all the other women that are fighting some sort of illness and thought to myself do we have to look sick to be sick... I found this to be a huge stigma in the world and wanted to make a difference. So the name comes with empowerment, love encouragement and support. I love what I do because it's our War Paint and that's how we continue to fight whatever illness we face everyday.
