Today we’d like to introduce you to Roxana Hernandez.
Roxana, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I am a model and content creator in the Los Angeles area. I used to be a wardrobe stylist assistant for celebrity clients. Although I loved working in fashion the pay was not consistent and not enough for the long days and nights I would work. This is going to sound really cliche but since I was younger I had a passion for modeling and the fashion industry. Unfortunately when wardrobe styling assisting was not paying the bills I went and got another job.
I always fantasized about being a content creator because I also loved taking pictures and being creative but I didn’t have the confidence to take myself seriously. Then, I started to work on myself by doing things like journaling, affirmations, working out, and eating healthier. After I worked on myself, I found myself more confident and felt like I could try anything I wanted to accomplish even if people thought I was cringy or weird.
Now, I am a content creator and model. I still work a job on the side to keep afloat but I am happy that I am trying to accomplish my dreams instead of just fantasizing about them and never taking any action.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, it has not been a smooth road. I didn’t have the confidence back then to film myself and not think I sounded weird or think “I don’t like how I look from that angle”. However, like I said once I started to do that inner work and I still am doing inner work that’s when I found the confidence to do the things I dreamt about.
Some other struggles I faced was with money because I felt like I couldn’t be a content creator unless I had a nicer place or nicer things but once I was comfortable being my authentic self I realized you don’t have to have a “lux life” to build a community online.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am currently a full-time recruiter for a big corporation. I do that job to keep me afloat. However, I am a paid model and content creator. Those two things and fashion are the things I’m passionate about. I also like to teach people. I would say I have been known to be a fashion girl ever since elementary school. always dressed cute without spending a lot on clothes. I believe you can’t buy style you just have to know how to put things together.
I am proud of my sense of style with fashion and that I remain humble when I receive the things I pray for. What sets me apart from others is although I like nice things I don’t consider myself a materialistic person and I am very grateful for what I have. I am very consistent with writing 10 things I’m grateful for and 10 self-affirmations. I used to write these daily now I write them every other day or when I feel like I want to get inspired.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
What I love most about Los Angeles is there are so many cool things to do and I love that you can find so many nice restaurants that have good food. I also feel like the opportunities here career-wise are endless. What I like least about LA is all the traffic!
