Amirah Myers is a 19-year-old young African American Muslim henna artist who makes designs on the body using the dye from the henna tree.   Henna is only on the skin temporarily. Amirah taught herself and practiced on herself for many hours to develop the skills for henna artistry. She did not have a design or artistic background.  Listen to her journey and see how her skills and business evolved through determination, practice, and energy.  Amirah attends Towson University as a sophomore majoring in criminal justice and she plans on being a behavioral analyst for criminal investigations within the federal government with a background in law and forensics.  Amirah enjoys painting, connecting with young children, and giving attention to things that involve self-care.  Amirah says "I’m just a young girl, who’s currently embarking on a journey in which I find that I will never grow as a person as an artist if I’m comfortable with where I’m at. And doing henna has helped me realize that being comfortable is a beautiful thing but nothing will come from it and that if I want to grow I must be willing to be uncomfortable."   to watch this interview please go to: https://www.youtube.com/c/KhalidaTheModel Follow KhalidaTheModel and Modest Beauty Podcast: Twitter: https://twitter.com/khalidathemodel Website: https://khalidamodel.wixsite.com/khalidathemodel Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/khalidathemodel/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/KhalidaTheModel Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Khalidathemodel Facebook2: https://www.facebook.com/kabdulmuhaymin/ Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/khalida-muhaymin-a16214173/
