Conversations with Sky Bush

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sky Bush.

Hi Sky, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today. 
Hey, everyone, so my name is Sky Shane Bush; I’m the youngest of 6. My mom, Sharon Anita Paris, passed away when I was 17. November 11, 2008, was the beginning of my true journey. I’m not sure if she knew I wouldn’t have her my whole life, so with the 17 years I did have her, she taught me the most important lessons in life. My mom taught me to be independent and stand up for myself even if I stand alone. Sometimes, I feel like it’s a blessing and a curse because I’ve lost so many people along the way, but I’ve found myself. It took me 15 years to heal from my mom’s passing to where I can look back and say I’m no longer codependent. That brings me to say that this is the year I’m filing for divorce. If I didn’t walk away when I did, I don’t know where me and my kids would be. Sometimes you grow with or you grow apart. For 15 years, I felt like I chose his happiness, and he finally chose me again. It wasn’t easy but I’m glad I made the choice to leave. No more 5-day notices every month or wondering if he is gonna be able to handle his portion of the rent. 

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
My life was never easy, but after my mom passed, it was like that’s where the tests were. It’s like she gave me the answers to what I was getting ready to go through. I was evicted from my cousin’s for not wanting to celebrate Thanksgiving (Indigenous Day) at the same house my mom was alive the year prior. I stayed with a couple friends here and there. After I gave birth to my oldest Aaliyah, Dec 26th, 2010, their dad wanted to move in together to become a “family”. That right there was a struggle itself. It was like the blind leading someone with eyes. I would say I was in love with the thought of having my own family. I didn’t pay attention to the red flags. Those red flags turned into war zones. Between the verbal, mental abuse of dealing with my mother-in-law. To the physical altercation that got me to get in the car 6 months pregnant with Aniyah and move to AZ. Last year I would say my biggest struggles came. After leaving someone I still loved he actually cut the cords in my car, put sand in my engine and gas tank. I was renting a car on Turo for $250 a week while working overnight AND still going to school. Got an order of protection to get away, he fought me in court for the judge to dismiss it. Got evicted in September actually just paid it off last Friday thank GOD! Worked two jobs, went to school, took care of my babies, no help from anyone, but I did it with a smile on my face. My kids are what gave and give me strength, I don’t see failure. I see four little people looking up like “Mom, what’s the next step”? Again, still that was only a little bit of my struggles. Going back to school after being out for over 10 years was a struggle itself. I have two teachers to thank when I graduate: Mr. David Anaya and Mrs. Carol. Those two make me feel like I have parents again. So ironic how Mr. David’s last name is really Aniyah’s first name (inside joke). When I look back at those struggles, I see they became my strength! I taught my kids no matter what Mommy will ALWAYS have you and make a way! To keep on going, I always say if something is blocking your sides, kick it down face first and go through it!” 

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Right now, I’m a student at Studio Academy Of Beauty. I graduate this year in August. I also have my own LLC I’ve had for going on 5 years. My business is called Sky’sDaLimit LLC. I hand make a growth oil and also Shea Butter. Both of my products are natural, and they promote healthy, long, beautiful hair, also helps repair the hair and makes it thicker and longer. What sets me apart from others is I do things from my heart. Not to say others don’t but I do it to make people feel good internally. One of the reasons my clients come back to me is because of the service they get from me. From the minute I walk out to get them to the minute I’m walking them to their cars I keep a smile on their face. I give them a home and family feeling and that’s wherever I go. 

Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
A lot of people don’t know that I’m very spiritual. I was raised a Christian, but I felt there was more to life. People who grew up with me never knew I have a lot of gifts that now I’m very aware of, and I’ve been working on mastering. I never knew what an empath was or what it meant to be Clairvoyant or Clairaudient. Growing up, we’re taught if you’re different, you’re “weird” or not “normal.” But I accept who I am fully, and I love myself even more that I know I’m different.
