What traumatic experiences shaped Christy Ray's journey?
We all come from a struggle, from a grit, from a sort of trauma. How are you using that trauma and converting it into positivity?
I've had a very traumatic past. I've had a terrible, terrible childhood and I had no power of what was happening to me. So growing up, it has been very, very important for me to be a woman in power because of the fact that I had no power over my childhood. Now I have the choice. Now I can make changes. Now I can make my own decisions and, you know, be a very powerful woman.
Christy Ray is a resilient, compassionate, and purpose-driven entrepreneur who turned a life marked by trauma into a mission of empowerment. As the owner of CC Styling Studio, she uses her 19 plus years of expertise to restore confidence in clients and even offers free services to cancer patients in need.
My main journey right now is to try to give back to the world. I'm offering free permanent makeup and scalp micropigmentation to cancer patients anywhere. They're going through the most traumatic time of their life, you know, dealing with that. And if there's something I could do to help them, that is my passion, making men and women look and feel amazing about themselves inside and out.

Welcome back to another amazing episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, the Woman in Power edition. Joining me today is Christy Ray. She is, that actually rhymed. She is joining us today, fresh off her episode. Christy, how do you feel? I feel amazing. It's been such a great experience.
How does Christy empower cancer patients through beauty services?
Who are you? What brings you to town? And why do you feel like you were chosen to be a woman in power?
I'm here. We drove down from, I'm from a little fishing village of Cortez, Cortez Fishing Village. I was born and raised. What brings me down here is I've had a very traumatic past. I was grown up in a very abusive relationship when my father and mother, when I was a little girl, my dad was an alcoholic. He beat my mother. My earliest memory was Him having my mom down on the ground and she was purple and he was beating her almost half to death. And my little or my big brother got in the middle of it and tried to help my mom. And my dad ended up hitting my brother and breaking his arm. And then at the age of seven, I was raped. I've had a terrible, terrible childhood. I struggled with an alcohol problem for many years, turned my life around, became a certified pastor, opened my business, and I deserve to be on Women in Power because I've turned my whole life around.
I offer free permanent makeup and scalp micropigmentation to cancer patients. I do that to give back to the community. So I feel I have a big impact with that right now. So it's just, it's been a blessing being here.
And it's a blessing to have you here. Let's let's let's break down this list. I got to go for this.
What role does spirituality play in Christy's beauty mission?
The scalp pigmentation. That's that's a killer business.
It's tattooing of the head.
I'm familiar. I actually I may actually may grab a business card for you because I've been curious about it because it's really neat stuff. I I'm lucky because I have a crazy amount of hair and I've entered into my 40s and I've lost half of it. But it's some of it is still there. But I was like, dude, I kind of just want to shave it off and just get a cool tattoo.
You can get any any pattern up front or anything.
Yeah. But then folks are like, well, we don't need to go with the crazy. You can actually just emulate the applying natural pigment.
Tiny dots that mimics the look of real hair follicles, making it appear like you have a full head of hair.
Yeah. And it works. I'm a believer.
Yes, it does. It's amazing stuff.
Yeah. Yeah. And talk about giving back. I come from a I'd want to compare or apples to oranges.
