Say hello to Jane of All Trades, Ms. Evbu Egharevba, aka TiTi! #BlackGirlMagic They often say in college is where you meet people that would impact you for a lifetime. Well this young lady, although younger, has been an inspiration from the first day I worked with her at Old Westbury’s Hair show. Talk about TALENTED! From fashion, hair, cosmetics, public speaking, this young woman has it all!

After graduating college and facing different hardships, Ms. Evbu decided to turn her passions into a lifestyle, thus creating “The Vintagelipgloss Brand”.
What is The Vintagelipgloss Brand? “The Vintagelipgloss Brand is a multifaceted company that offers Event Curating&Public Relations Services. Established in October 2014, the business has developed into a multi-functioning service that started with the owner’s vision to create a platform for herself during a very trying post college graduate career defining time.”
What is your inspiration? “Struggle is something that often defines an individual’s capability to exceed. Struggle in my case became the fighting force of everything that I do. I know what it feels like to be homeless, I know what it feels like to not know if you can afford to eat, I know what it feels like to live in poverty. Knowing those different life circumstances made me realize what I didn’t want to be anymore and that is the feeling of being without. For those reasons my struggle is what inspired me.”
Born and raised in the toughest neighborhoods of Brooklyn,NY, Evbu is no stranger to facing hardship. Living in a community that encouraged her to make it past the struggle, it is no coincidence that determination remained in her destiny.
What impact has your culture played on you? “As a Nigerian-American, morals and values played a major role in discipline. Life took a toll on me in September 2010 after the loss of my mother. At that moment I realized that not only that life was too short but I vowed to continuously cherish every moment and make it a lifestyle to create and conquer all goals.”
Reflecting back on the journey and seeing her growth Evbu proudly informs all those who inquire that starting her own business is one of her most greatest accomplishments thus far.“Many people see the finished product but fail to realize the restless days and nights, lack of rest, disappointments along the way and sacrifices that are made to simply achieve all goals.”
What is next for you and Vintagelipgloss? “Life has a funny way of throwing you the un-expected. We can plan today and end up in a completely different circumstance. My future goals include me having my own store front, being a successful entrepreneur all while being able to be a mother and wife some day. I don’t set limitations for myself so wherever God is taking me I am ready to face the great journey with my best foot forward. I am in high hopes of using my story to help others and encourage them in ways that I may have lacked encouragement while seeking it.”
With growing clientele and revenue at the age of now 26, Evbu recognizes that this is just the beginning. She proudly stands by her brand and has a simple prayer that God continues to use her in the most powerful way to touch the world with her talents.
Help me celebrate this Beauty as she continues to soar through life!!! #YouGoGirl
