Marisol Rivera has always known beauty is more than skin deep-it's a language, a story, and sometimes, a form of survival. Growing up in a small Bronx apartment with a single mother and two younger sisters, Marisol uses whatever tools she can find-coconut oil, bobby pins, dollar-store eyeshadow-to create magic. Her dream? To become a licensed cosmetologist, open her own salon, and show the world that every person deserves to feel beautiful.
When she earns a spot at the prestigious La Lumière Academy in Manhattan, Marisol is thrown into a world of wealthy classmates, luxury products, and competitive pressures. But with heart, hustle, and creativity, she carves out her space and finds her calling in helping others feel whole again-especially those who've been overlooked or underestimated.
From late-night braiding sessions to viral moments and her eventual launch of Luna Belle Studio, Marisol's journey is one of grit, glitter, and glowing self-belief. The Glitter in Her Hands is a moving, inspiring tale of chasing dreams, healing through art, and finding power in passion.
