HER STORY
Mary-Ashanti C. Harrison is living proof that resilience, faith, and fierce determination can turn adversity into destiny.
The daughter of a proud Jamaican immigrant and raised in a working-class home, she learned early that nothing in life is promised, you build the life you want with your own two hands. That belief became her foundation.
At seventeen, during her senior year of high school, life shifted and she became pregnant. What many saw as an ending, she chose to see as her beginning. By eighteen, with a newborn on her hip and statistics stacked against her, she refused to shrink. Instead, she rose. Through heartbreak, poverty, and battles with mental health, she kept moving with unwavering faith and relentless hustle.
That fire became Made Up On The Go a luxury hair, makeup, and wardrobe brand that reimagined beauty for women of all tones, textures, backgrounds, and stories. Her artistry has touched red carpets, television screens, global stages, and wedding aisles across the world. She built a reputation as one of the most respected multicultural artists in the industry not just because of her talent, but because of her heart.
And now, she steps into her next evolution.
