Today we’d like to introduce you to Lilith Jane Luck.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve always been an artistic kid. My mom gave me the ultimate freedom when it came to self-expression and exposed me all kinds of music and art growing up. We would go on “mommy-daughter dates” to the local museums. She would occasionally pick me up from school just to catch a matinee of a movie. I was constantly picking up inspiration. When I was six years old, I walked right out into the kitchen and told her I wanted to be like Britney Spears when I grew up. I’d sit in my mom’s bedroom with my headphones singing along to my Disney and Britney tunes as loud as I could. Not much has changed since then. I still sing at the top of my lungs. I hog the mic at karaoke with my best pals, but they don’t seem to mind and I love them for it. They’ve been along for the ride for as long as I can remember. When I was taking some classes at the local community college in 2011, I discovered the world of cosplay.
My first cosplay was nurse Harley Quinn with a leftover Halloween costume and a fake cork gun I made from scratch. I never really took it seriously and was always doing “closet cosplays” with things I had laying around the house or cheap things I thrifted. I stopped creating for awhile when I was going through a difficult transition period of my life. I had gotten married when I was only 21 and divorced later in 2017 when I was 26. It proved to be an incredibly trying and rough experience. Prior to that I had come out of one of the darkest times of my life. I was a victim of grooming and sexual abuse for close to eight years. What it did to my psyche and my entire life was undeniably one of the cruelest things to happen to a young teenager. I didn’t realize how badly it affected every facet of my life up until 2018 when I really began to focus on my personal healing journey and learning more about the person that I know as myself today.
My life took a complete 180 degree turn when I decided to leave my hometown of Fort Worth, TX to move here to Orlando, FL. I had finally gotten to a point where I felt ready to give myself a chance at a new life. I wanted to give myself a shot at making all my dreams a reality. When I look at myself now, I can’t help but think how 13 year old me would be so proud. When I tell people that I’m an artist I don’t mean just painting on a canvas. I love to sing. I love to dance. I love to perform. I don’t know any other way to exist. One of my favorite things to do is to brainstorm and collaborate on ideas with my friends. I don’t really know where this journey will take me next, but I’m open to whatever the Universe brings me. I’m currently working on bettering my skills at pole fitness and doing my yoga everyday. I try my best to stay in my lane and ride my vibe. I’ve modeled on and off for over 10 years now. There are so many other creative endeavors I want to try and excel at I can’t focus on just one at a time. Some might say that’s me being fickle and indecisive, but I like to think that I work like a bee. I work best when I can buzz from one thing to the next and revisit past projects to improve them. I’m ready and embracing my future with an open heart and arms wide.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t always been smooth. Most of the problems were just my own limiting beliefs getting in the way. When I chose to listen to my own voice and kept the other’s at bay, I felt a huge shift in my creative process. It’s very easy to blame others when you’re experiencing a set back, but at the end of the day you’re the one who makes the decisions for yourself. I’ve had a lot of friends and family give me their opinions while still trying to be supportive. It is difficult because you’re wanting to weigh all the options before you make a move, but at this point in my life, I know to trust my intuition and let everything else fall into place as I go.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My normal day job is working as a sales associate at a local metaphysical shop. It was one of those things that almost seemed to be too good to be true. Little Lilith Jane daydreamed about working as a witch in a small tiny shop. I used to play outside by myself, collecting leaves and rocks. Fast forward to present day, I’m doing it. We sell crystals, herbs, tarot cards, candles, etc. Apart from that, I’m currently working on my creative career outside of it. I model and cosplay. I sing and dance. I also do general tarot readings. I also recently partnered with a fitness brand to promote their products.
I’m very proud of all the opportunities that have come my way. I was a hair model for a brief amount of time for a salon in Dallas, TX and was able to participate in a hair show. I’ve always been very good with people and I love to get people to open up and come out of their shells. I swear I was a clown or harlequin in a past life. I think the thing that sets me apart from a lot of people is that I’m all-inclusive. My main goal is to connect all creative friends and strangers. I love to support my friends on their artistic endeavors and lift up small creators. I’m constantly rooting for the underdog. I have no issue speaking my truth. I’m honest to a fault, but I believe honestly and communication are key to good relationships of all levels. I am not afraid to tell my story and encourage others to do the same. I believe every voice deserves to be heard and that experiences are infinitely better when shared with like minds.
What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
I came and visited Orlando for the first time in November 2019 for EDC. I fell in love with the palm trees and sunshine. I love how diverse the cultures are here and that there are so many tourists traveling in and out. I feel like it keeps the energy fresh. I love that there are so many vegan and vegetarian options for food. I also love that there isn’t a lack of entertainment. As far as dislikes go, I’m not a big fan of driving on I-4.
