Necole Bitchie!!! She’s one of my favorite bloggers, I admire her and LOVE her story. Necole turned her “Dreams Into Reality” check out her interview in the Huffington Post :

Born as Necole Kane on the eastern shore of Maryland in a small town called Cambridge — this is the woman that we know as Necole Bitchie. She is a great inspiration not only to women, but to us all. Her story is filled with sacrifice in exchange for the journey and adventure of discovering herself and her own destiny. Knowing yourself is important, right?

Necole has soared to become one of the most famous and recognizable bloggers out there. Her name, also her brand, has become synonymous with celebrity gossip that unlike with most bloggers is verified news. That’s probably the reason why when you read her stuff — it doesn’t have that manufactured feel to it, because it isn’t.

So, where are you originally from Necole?

I grew up in a very small town on the eastern shore of Maryland called Cambridge.

What are some of your most important childhood memories that lead you to being the woman that you are today?

My mother worked so hard, so I spend a lot of time with my grandmother. She was the first business owner that I ever knew. My grandmother owned a barber shop and she cut men’s hair all day. I felt some type of power in that. She was sitting there and she’d laugh a thunderous laugh all day and they admired her. They’d come in everyday and pile into her shop and talk about the latest. She really guided my steps. I was 16 when she passed away — I was lost after that.

When a tragedy takes place, we’re lost. Tragedy places a person at a position of needing to decide what their next move is going to be. Who was Necole Bitchie at that time of being at a crossroad?

You know how a stage play has three acts? I feel like in my life right now, I’m one the fourth act. At that point in time it was right after my mom had passed I had lost everything that I felt was important in my life. It was when I was going to a job everyday and when I was in school, which was when I was at a crossroad. That’s when I had an epiphany. I received an email from a lady that was basically saying that we shouldn’t be held down by material things. We want to achieve certain goals, but we have a car payment that we’re about or we have to make the rent — we have all of these material things that really don’t matter and are holding us down to going into that job every day. I started to think about how true this was. I don’t have any kids, I’m still young, so why am I working so hard every day and who am I working hard for? I’m definitely not working this hard to pay a car payment. Two weeks later, I started selling all of my furniture. I left school in my last semester, I quit my job and I was headed to Detroit.

Why Detroit? What was there?

I chose Detroit, not because I had a plan — it was a place where I didn’t know anybody. I felt like that was the best place to get to know myself and really find out who I was.

What did you do once you were there?

Initially, I was in the entertainment industry — I found an internship opportunity. My drive is pretty intense; so once I was out there I was moving pretty quickly.

You were meant to be a free spirit, not held down to commitments that don’t seem as pivotal to the direction your life is going in.

Exactly. I’ve spoken to a woman who didn’t go after her dreams because she was worried about what she was going to do with their house full of furniture. Really? You’re going to let a house full of furniture stop you from following your dreams? If you said a husband and a child then I get it — but, you’re not sure what to do with your furniture? I sold everything for $700 and just kept it moving, I couldn’t let that hold me back from achieving what’s right for me in my life.
