Success Stories: Amazing Makeovers


JAVONA OVERTON
BEFORE
Overton's life took a new direction four years ago: She gave birth to her son, left college, and began working full time at a restaurant. "It was a setback, but it definitely did not stop me," she says. Last year, a cousin told her about Year Up, and she was intrigued. "I loved working at Red Lobster—it was my first job, and I met my fiancĂ© there—but I was ready to grow," she says. "Year Up was my way out of old habits."

Overton, 24, is thrilled with her new short haircut. "I've always been a confident woman, but this makeover makes me look at myself completely differently," she says. She also loves the vibrant color of the dress: "I never thought blue was my color, but now I know it is!" She's currently an intern at FTI Consulting, a business-advising firm, and a passionate writer and singer. She dreams of a career in the entertainment industry. "I've been writing songs since I was nine. I hope someone will say, 'I like her. I need her. She's a go-getter.'"
