“I want them to see this as a
positive experience. My hope
is that they look back on this
and think how cool that we
all got to spend so much time
together as a family,” she said.
North is also excited about
her CBD-infused facial mois-
turizer, scheduled to come out
at the end of May and a com-
plete skincare line scheduled
for the end of the year.
PAYING IT FORWARD
Last summer, North again
was a shining example of a
“can-do” attitude. She was the
recipient of the “Believe and
Achieve Award” through the
Wayne Metropolitan Action
Agency. She also won “Client
of the Year” through the same
organization for her efforts
to meet her personal goals
of both business and home
ownership, with assistance
programs they provided.
“The agency is thrilled to
see the hard-working couple
reach their full potential and
live out their dreams,” Lakesha
Biggs, certified financial coun-
selor at Wayne Metro, said
when she presented North
and her husband with the
award.
North is determined to
“pay it forward” to show her
gratitude for the help she’
s
received. She volunteered at
“Just for You”— a day of inspi-
ration for cancer survivors,
including those still in treat-
ment. North gave a presenta-
tion and makeup demonstra-
tions to the 150 participants.
The pre-quarantine event was
funded by the Natalie and
Manny Charach Cancer Fund
for those who are being treat-
ed at the Charach Treatment
Center at DMC Huron Valley-
Sinai Hospital.
She says her faith has played
a big part in her comeback
and she is an active volunteer
in the Jewish community. As
for what’
s in her future, the
unsinkable young mother says
she thinks big and believes in
miracles.
“I came back from a very
dark place and realize now
how precious our lives are,”
North said. “I’
ve been through
a lot. This pandemic is just a
bump in the road, although a
major bump. We will all get
through this. I have a posi-
tive outlook on the future for
myself and my company.”
