Meet LaCoya Lovett of The Coyaa Redd in Arlington

Today we’d like to introduce you to LaCoya Lovett.

LaCoya, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I am originally from Strong, AR. The population is less than 700 people. I moved to Dallas in 2017 & started doing makeup known as “Coyaa Redd Artistry”. I slowed down in the makeup community & started to focus on plus-size modeling where I’m known as “The Coyaa Redd” on Instagram. I have always been considered a plus size girl. I battled with self-confidence issues, insecurity, body shaming &, etc. but never told anyone. The purpose of my brand is to promote body positive images. I want every woman to love their bodies no matter their weight. Weight is just a number it doesn’t define who you are. You are beautiful don’t let the scale tell you anything different.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. There has been some struggles. I’ve received negative messages online that brought tears to my eyes but that didn’t stop me at all… I kept pushing because I know someone out there needs to see my message. I have more support from strangers than people I’ve known for years.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into The Coyaa Redd story. Tell us more about the business.
I have a variety of businesses. I am a freelance makeup artist, I’m also known as a beauty influencer. I promote makeup related products & influence customers to purchase them from my honest reviews. I specialize in 60-second makeup tutorials (IG: Coyaa Redd Artistry).

I own my own lash & apparel line (website: CoyaaRedd.com. IG: CoyaaReddsCollection).

I am also a plus size model (IG: The Coyaa Redd).

Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I don’t believe in luck, I believe in prayer. I thank God for every opportunity that comes my way.
