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

Hi Genesis, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I always felt the want to be free. I had a hard time being someone else’s shadow. In a way it felt like I wasn’t being true to myself if I had to work for someone else and not on my own dream. At first it was scary the thought of quitting a secured full time job to start my business and make ends meet but hard work and dedication really pays off like they say. One door opened 3 others and so on. I didn’t let fear be a factor. My plan was to put myself out there as much as possible.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I have been in the beauty industry for 11 years now and I absolutely love what I do. It is truly my passion. However I have definitely made some sacrifices to be where I am today. Not every part of the journey is glitz and glam. It definitely takes a lot of being selfless in some areas of your life. I had to give up many weekends, family activities and holidays because I was working on my goals. I have now learned the importance of a healthy work/life balance. Blocking off time for the things that really matter is a must. I believe what sets me part in such a saturated industry is my ability to understand my clients needs and comfortability. I’m NOT big on “one fits all” when it comes to creating looks on clients whether it’s for makeup, hair or lashes. I created GSglowbeauty to make women of all ages, sexes or race to feel like the best version of themselves when they look in the mirror!

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?
My favorite spots in miami are:

Brickell city center for some shopping and sushi at pubbelly

Papi steak for dinner is a must!!!! Any day of the week for some good music and amazing food.

The One Hotel. Chill by the pool and have lunch at the restaurant.

Yard house at merrick park great for people watching and some more shopping.
