Atkins said he developed an appreciation for self-care early in life when his mother took him to get manicures and pedicures. Having his nails groomed at the age of 13 made him feel like"a cut above the rest" when it came to impressing girls, he said.
"That [name] was just me identifying with always being myself because I just knew no one was more qualified to be me," he said.Breaking into the nail industry was the last resort for Atkins after he received an other-than-honorable discharge from the Navy in 2013, a result, he said, of his former addiction to synthetic marijuana. He said the period following his release was one of the lowest points in his life as he struggled to secure a corporate job.
The next day Atkins arrived at the shop"incognito," wearing a hood over his head for his training. He said he was fearful that he would receive harsh criticism from his peers. "The thing that kept me going with it was I just knew for a fact I didn't fit in here. I knew I wasn't supposed to be here, but it felt good to be here and it feels good to flourish," Atkins said.

Cool now do the story about the black guy hitting the white guy over the head with a brick and sharing it/celebrating it on instagram. Stop ignoring racial violence that doesn't fit your narrative. Oh he also said whitelivesdontmatter and BlackLivesmatter on his post.
