Intervention: CoRe

CoRe has had a positive impact on me. 

One of the most disrupted industries by the COVID-19 pandemic was that of makeup artists. The aversion for physical contact meant literally zero business. Constance shares how CoRe helped her to build resilience and learn new things:

I am Constance Ewuradjoa Hanson, a student and make-up artist. I am honoured to share how the CoRe programme has been of immense benefit to me. By its very nature, COVID-19 discourages close physical contact, which is a core feature of my profession. As a result, my makeup business was badly hit. Things ground to a halt, and I almost lost everything as the pandemic raged. At a point, depression began to set in.

I heard about the Core Programme and got unto the platform. The mentorship at CoRe helped me to learn new things and appreciate what I had, what was going on around me and how I could make them impact my life positively. The strong attitude and resilience helped me to hold on till business resumed, even if on a limited scale.

On the professional side, I was taught to distinguish between original and fake make-up products. Armed with this newfound knowledge, I am not able to easily purchase the right products for use in my work. I also learnt about how to manage my time and how to save and invest my income.

Thank you, CoRe!
