Kirstin is a powerful and dynamic young woman who’s recent circumstances have been nothing but fuel to her purpose of uplifting + teaching others, and showcasing FAITH. Kirstin, shortly after moving to Los Angeles, CA with dreams of creating a lane for herself in the entertainment industry, was diagnosed with Cancer in July 2019, and endured 6months of intensive chemotherapy to eradicate it. With the unfailing support of her family and friends, she battled this time in her life like a champ, and was cancer-free by the turn of the new year. She has since relocated to Louisiana where she continues to build with her family, a beautiful church and ministry Lift City Churcg, and a platform for Christian families to seek guidance and support while empowering them through faith, called The Modern Christian Family. She is also embarking on a new venture to make everyone feel beautiful with her cosmetic subscription box, BeatBox. With interests in fashion, home decorating, cooking, curating a healthy lifestyle, and “all things cute”, we can’t wait to see what Kirstin does next! Her story is truly one of VICTORY over circumstance.

She immigrated to the US to continue her studies to become a nurse when she began modeling and realized how racist the industry was. This birthed the viral project she is most known for “The Black Mirror Project” where she challenged high fashion campaigns using only white models. She soon pivoted and began her blog. Through out her journey though she has been with a lot of push back from her audience about the fact that her partner is white even though she continues to champion issues that black women face.
