Meet Kierra Roberson | Licensed Esthetician, Aromatherapist, and Makeup Artist

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

Hi Kierra, what do you want your legacy to be?
I want people to remember that I have always been true to myself and a pure hearted person. I want people to remember how passionate, ambitious and resilient I am in everything I do.
 

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
GlowingWithKi is a self care and wellness business that provides services and products that help to elevate your self care holistically. The goal is for you to glow from the inside out and to feel comfortable incorporating and doing things you learn at GWK at home and by yourself while also having a safe space to come relax, unwind and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. What sets GWK apart is that aromatherapy and R&B (mostly) music is incorporated into all services. Literally as soon as you walk in you are welcomed with a beautiful aroma and music that may make you want to sing or dance. Also all services are custom timed to your specific needs, wants, and concerns. Services and subject to change for each person and may not be the same every time you come in.

I’ve gotten to where I am today from authenticity, ambition, resilience, consistency, genuine love, and support. It has not been easy at all but two things that have really helped me when things start to get hard are learning to be still and allowing myself to be creative in everything I do. That may look like setting my schedule to have specific days off and standing on my boundaries so that I don’t start to feel overwhelmed or over worked. Or shifting what types of services I push and focus more on when I start to get bored with what I’m doing. I allow myself to be expressive through my music while working because it something that is a huge part of me and helps me to connect to people in different ways, through creating and formulating products, or creating content.

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?
We probably wouldn’t stay in ypsi but we would definitely try out lots of restaurants closer to the Detroit area. We would go bowling, do karaoke and bar hop a few times. We have a spa day would go get massages from either Cocoa Healing Collective or Just Hands massage therapy and facials from Forever Beauty Co (all located in ypsi).

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?
My mom, she has always been extremely supportive in everything I do. There came a point in my life were she slowed down on her dreams and passions to put me and my siblings first and that eventually lead to me being able to pursue and stay consistent with GlowingWithKi the way I have been. She is now an author and published two murder mystery books that can be found on Amazon under Dee McQueen.
