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

Hi Benilde, what makes you happy? Why?
Being myself and living in my truth, accepting who I am doing things that make me feel good. Since a young girl beauty has always made me happy, not just doing my lashes or getting my hair done my makeup, skin care etc. But Helping other women bring that side out of them. Wake-up feeling beautiful, confident. Its a feeling no one else can bring us women I want every women to experience it

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
So I am a lash artist located in Dallas,Texas. I started lashing back in 2021 almost a year after I had my daughter. I was 18 years old at the time, my journey hasn’t been easy but it’s been something I’ve learned so much from about myself and running a business. I’m still facing many challenges but one thing I will say I never give up and always find another way. I’ve gotten this far whether it’s been slow or fast by having a very strong mind and great customer service but most importantly having faith in god & myself. As we have entered a new year 2025 I am so excited and proud to finally be launching something I’ve been working on for about a year now and finally in a space where I feel I can help younger women like me who have been through what I been through along their journey. I feel what sets me apart from others is being myself and always finding a way to be different doing it my way taking my own lead. I want the world to know i am someone who’s struggled with self love growing up so I want to use my brand to speak for me and see change is possible it doesn’t matter who you were as a kid it doesn’t fully define who you will be as an adult.

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?
It’s a lot of places to go to here in Dallas I just found a new spot it’s a movie theater, it’s in downtown Dallas called cinepolis it has great drinks great food and a beautiful view.

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?
I would love to give shoutout to all my clients who have gave me the opportunity to fulfill my dream, but most importantly for trusting me and keeping me busy! Also my cousin & aunt for being my mannequins when I first started they believed in me and till this day still show support. Last but not least my daughter who was the one who gave me the push I needed to take my risk.
