In the latest episode of Let’s Try This Again, B. Simone delivers a powerful reminder to anyone feeling stuck, dimmed, or unsure: “You’re lit. You’re called for a purpose, ON purpose, and you have everything you need to shine.”
The episode serves as both motivation and testimony as B. Simone reflects on her decade-long journey since moving to Atlanta in November 2014. Coming from humble beginnings in Dallas, Texas, she arrived with just $3,000, a used Toyota, and an unwavering belief in her potential.
B. Simone’s early days in Atlanta were marked by sacrifice and hard work. She juggled multiple jobs—waiting tables at a tavern, working retail at an urban clothing store, and styling hair. It was during this time that she turned to Instagram, using the platform to post raw, comedic, and unfiltered content about her life. Her relatability and natural humor resonated deeply, paving the way for her rise as one of the internet’s first viral stars.
Key milestones followed quickly:
- Transitioning from hairstyling to full-time content creation
- Gaining recognition for her Instagram comedy skits
- Landing a spot on MTV’s Wild ‘N Out
- Building a loyal and massive online following
Throughout her journey, B. Simone credits her success to unwavering faith and obedience to her calling. She reflects on the moment she quit her 9-to-5 job in 2015-2016 after going viral, a decision driven by trust in her God-given gifts, particularly what she calls her “gift of vision.”
“That gift allows me to see possibilities—not just for myself but for others,” she says. “I can see greatness in people before they see it in themselves.”
Simone also addresses the challenges of overcoming toxic environments and learning to root her identity in God rather than external validation. Whether it’s platforms, numbers, or opinions, she warns against idolatry, urging listeners to stay grounded in their faith and purpose.
“You’re lit because of who you are, not what you have,” she declares. “Your worth doesn’t come from social media success—it comes from embracing the gifts God has given you.”
As the episode closes, B. Simone sets the tone for the new year, calling 2025 a season of confidence, boldness, and purpose-driven living. Her message is clear: “The world is waiting for what you have to offer. Don’t dim your light. Walk boldly in your calling and trust God’s plan for your life.”
With gratitude for her supporters and a commitment to inspiring others, B. Simone proves that success starts with faith, perseverance, and embracing your divine purpose.
