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

Hi Aaliyah, what do you want your legacy to be?
I want people to remember me as the woman who made other women feel and look beautiful. The goal of my business , Wigs By Aaliyah, is to be able to reach out to women who may be battling things such as cancer or depression and aren’t in love with the way that they look . I want to change that. I feel like you shouldn’t have to look like what you are going through . I want people to remember me as the woman who reminded other women that they are beautiful.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am most proud about the way my business has been growing lately . I am excited to launch more items and add on to my business this upcoming fall. It took a lot of sacrifice to get to where I am today. I had to learn how to manage doing hair as well as being in school. I did have some challenges along the way. Of course there are some people in this world that are just greedy. After experiencing my first fraud customer , it really had me on the urge of giving up. I had to remember that not everybody is like that . I continued to put my all into my business and found a way to block fraud customers from my website . I want the world to know that no matter if the enemy comes in and tries to stop your joy, don’t let him! Keep going and don’t give up!

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.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to first give a shoutout to God for giving me this talent and idea . I believe that my purpose is to reach out to people and make people feel good . I want to also thank my family and friends for the constant support and push. Last , I want to thank my customers , clients , and supporters for being there for me since the beginning . Without them , I wouldn’t be where I am today. My YouTube supporters push me to keep going even when I feel discourage because I don’t get that many views on one video. I have to remember that just because something is the way that it is now, doesn’t mean that is how it is always going to be . If I continue to put in the hard work , then it will definitely pay off . I also thank my returning customers because they have been helping me grow my clientele by sharing their experiences as well as helping me grow my skills .
