Hi everyone! My name is Alexandria, and I’m a disabled beauty student, entrepreneur, and disability advocate. I’m raising funds to finish my nail tech program, enroll in aesthetics classes, and continue building Resilience Brand by A—a brand that’s not just about beauty services, but also about healing, empowerment, and transformation for myself and the clients I serve.

About My Journey

I’m currently enrolled at Jupiter Beauty Academy, and I’m only 48 hours away from completing my 1,000-hour nail tech program. If I don’t re-enroll before December 2025, I risk losing all the hours I’ve already worked so hard to complete. I’m also enrolling in the aesthetics program, which will allow me to expand my skills, offer new services, and create more opportunities for clients to feel confident and cared for.

I also have cosmetology training on my belt and plan to finish my full cosmetology license to further expand my services and better serve my clients. Each step I take in education and training brings me closer to fully realizing the vision of Resilience Brand by A.

Resilience Brand by A is my passion project and life mission. It’s a brand built not only on beauty and wellness services but also on spiritual and healing practices. Through this business, I aim to help people feel seen, cared for, and uplifted, while also continuing my personal healing journey and discovering my full potential.

Why I’m Raising Funds

To finish school, take my state exam, and get licensed, I need help covering requires costs

Additional Transparency:

• The $500 down payment for aesthetics must be paid out-of-pocket before classes start.

• The remaining $2,870 tuition is covered by financial aid.

• Any extra funds will help cover trademarking and registering Resilience Brand by A, ensuring the business is officially launched and protected.

Vision for the Future

Resilience Brand by A is more than a business; it’s part of my healing journey and personal growth. My mission is to empower clients, especially those with disabilities, to feel seen, cared for, and confident. Future plans include:

• Continuing education: business degree/certificate, vet tech, medical certifications, and more

• Expanding the brand into products, wellness, spiritual guidance, and accessible services

• Creating a positive, lasting community impact through entrepreneurship and advocacy
