& REAL
"I was about 16 years old when I decided I no longer wanted to let the world define who I was. I decided to be bold enough to define myself. I took a self-love journey and never looked back..."
-A.Coleman
At the age of 14 years old is when I began to fall in love with YouTube. I was infatuated with knowing that anything that I had a question about could be shown to me by this virtual community. At age 16 my interest in cosmetics began to take root and all I did during my spare time was watch makeup videos. Over the next few years my makeup skills had improved tremendously and my interest in fashion and lifestyle logging began. In 2015 I made a decision to start my own channel giving College advice, documenting my college experience and creating makeup tutorials. Within the first year I was able to gain over 1,000 subscribers and that's when I knew YouTube was something I enjoyed and people enjoyed my content. Since then I have been making strides towards expanding on my editing skills and building my brand. A.Coleman is only in it's beginning stages and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

-- -A.Coleman
Through out my years in college I have taken the initiative to be a leader! I have taken every opportunity that was presented to me to grow as a young women and took all the constructive criticism that was given to me and utilized it as opportunities. I have strived and am still striving to reach my goal, by being 100% authentically me! I pride myself on the message I put out on my channel and other social media avenues of letting others know its ok to be YOU. God did not create us to be the same he created us all different so take ownership of your individuality and flaunt it!
Why did you choose A.Coleman?
A.Coleman is simply my first initial and my last name. I could try and put a very deep reasoning behind why I chose this particular name for my channel but there isn't a real reason. I just decided that if I was going to build a platform for myself I wanted to use my name. Not anything that would probably be catchy like "Lili beauty". I wanted people to know me for me, and my name seemed to be the perfect fit.
