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

Hi Rose, what are you inspired by?
I am inspired by my life experiences and how God’s goodness has really unfolded in my walk. The journey that my life has taken has been up and down. However, now I realize how beautiful it is so far. I’m inspired to talk about my experiences in life, and as I do, I know others will be able to relate. Others will be able to understand that life isn’t perfect and no matter how your journey unfolds your story is beautiful too.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m an assistant principal in the district that I grew up in, Alief. Growing up, I always wanted to teach or at least pretended to do so. I would play with my dolls and they were in school as my students. I didn’t think I was going to be a teacher because when I went to Sam Houston State University, I started off in the criminal justice field to be a lawyer. However, that changed after an experience I had with a professor, and I quickly realized that education needed better teachers so I changed my major.

This wasn’t the only time where a “negative” experience push me to my next level. The same thing happened prior to me going back to school to be an assistant principal. Long story short I’m an assistant principal dedicated to making change in the education system. I can’t say it has been an easy journey but it has been fulfilling and insightful.

I’m also a mentor and part founder to a non-profit organization, “Sisters In Faith”. We are dedicated to mentoring the youth with Christian principles and growing them in biblical truth.

On the other hand, I’m also a creative. I started off with the makeup brand called “The RoseGold Experience”. After some years, I felt the Holy Spirit tell me this is not what I want you to do with this business and it became more about telling my story while sharing my testimonies through my podcast. I want the world to know, “The RoseGold Experience” is no longer a makeup brand, but it is my make up brand. A platform where I tell and share my life experiences and testimonies about how God has been so good in my life. Hoping to inspire others to share their testimonies as well, the world needs to know how good God is. As humans we’ve gotten away from sharing God‘s goodness to the world and the time is now to go back. God has truly turned every negative experiences around for my good and His glory. He pushes me to greater and I can only attest that to Him for that. This is it for now but I know there is so much more to come.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I am a foodie so anywhere with good food and great service, I will definitely go. No particular spot is a favorite. I enjoy gathering with friends for the most part. I also enjoy anywhere that has a great view and scenery. So the park or a restaurant with a rooftop view, really anywhere I can look at the sky.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’m first going to give glory to God. He writes my story. He is my author. I also want to recognize every person who I have come across in this life who has added value and poured love into me. You know who you are.

With love, thank you.
