Today we’d like to introduce you to Destiny Gbor
Hi Destiny, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
From a young girl seeking excitement in her childhood to an emerging fashion influencer, my journey has been nothing short of transformative. Growing up, I was always passionate about content creation. I vividly remember making YouTube videos in middle school—skits, pranks, challenges, and more—with my friends and family. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I embraced a ‘dancing era,’ posting dance challenges on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. This phase allowed me to start gaining recognition and build meaningful connections. However, after some time, I lost my dance page, and my YouTube videos started to flop, leaving me feeling discouraged and uncertain of where I was headed.
But I refused to let my setbacks define me. Determined to find my true calling, I experimented with different niches, trying to figure out where I truly belonged. It wasn’t until March of 2022 that my inspiration struck. Watching creators like @kotra2x and @pappiiq take charge of their journeys, which sparked my passion and drive to pursue a career as a fashion influencer. The transition felt natural, especially since I had always been a sneaker-head. Looking back, I never realized that those early moments would lay the foundation for the path I’m now on.
My entry into the fashion world was met with excitement, and the positive response gave me the confidence to push forward. The support from my peers made it clear that I was on the right path. I began to feel like an artist, each outfit a brushstroke in the creation of my personal masterpiece. What started as simple fun and memories has now evolved into a thriving presence.
While it may not seem like much now, I’m confident that with continued effort and God’s guidance, I’ll one day be able to say that I’ve truly made a name for myself. A name that symbolizes a unique star who inspires others to embrace their authentic selves with confidence, no matter what society defines as “normal” or trendy.
This is just the start of my journey, and with every step forward feeling like a powerful affirmation, I’m excited to see where it leads me in my future life.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Of course it definitely hasn’t been a smooth road having to deal with moments of reconsideration, insights not improving, clothing brands not reaching out, and comparing myself to others in the same field. But over the years, I’ve learned that nothing in life is just handed to you. You have to strive for it with your all, and honestly, I love that. It keeps me humble and deeply appreciative of every small win.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Today, I’m known by many names like “Goldendes,” “Fashionista,” and “Ms. Put That Stuff On,” thanks to my hard work and creativity. I’ve built a strong following, worked with many brands, and consistently shared high-quality content. Not every day is a “content day,” but when I do create something new, it starts with receiving a product from a brand. I then search for inspiration on Pinterest, and once I find it, I go to PicsArt. There, I put together outfits maintaining a versatile style and focusing on the perfect accessories and scenery to make everything come together. When all the details align, it’s like adding the final touch to a perfect dessert.
