Meet Schnelle! I’ve known her for years, she is what we call an old school blogger. She knows her stuff when it comes to blogging, SEO, and making the coins via something you own. It is an honor to have her on here today to share her history. Welcome to the history of Schnelle Acevedo.

- Where were you born and raised: Brooklyn New York City
- Who were you in high school? (quiet, talkative, etc) I was a nerd. As the first generation daughter of a Jamaican immigrant Mom that was an Assistant principal, I had no choice! I was the captain of the Tennis and Bowling team and President of the Poetry Club. I met my now husband in the poetry club and I took extra credits for fun. High School was a super fun time of my life.
- Share something from your past that you don’t mind sharing (good or bad) and what did you learn about from it. How did it shape who you are today? Give us a history lesson…... I will take you back to five years ago. When the Pandemic hit, it hit NYC fast and furious. We were knocked on our tail before we had a chance to blink. All of my income from attending events dried up overnight. I had to make the decision to make one of my smallest income streams into my MAIN income stream. That took a lot of late nights and focus and within a few months I was able to get my income back to normal. It taught me that when things seem extremely bleak, laser focus and faith will get you through.
- Share your top 5 ways to stay fit and healthy: I drink a gallon of water a day (I am no good dehydrated). I workout daily every morning at 6am. I am a runner, rower and cyclist. I lift weights 3-4 times a week. The goal is to be full on mobile when I am 95 years old.
- Shout out your favorite business: My favorite business right now is The Lip Bar. I have been a fan of their matte lipsticks for YEARS and I was finally able to go visit the brick and mortar storefront in Detroit last year and had a phenomenal experience. I’m pretty sure I own multiple copies of every shade of lipsticks and some of the other products too!
- What’s a piece of advice you often give but find yourself struggling to follow? Asking for help. I can give the best advice on who to ask for help and when. When it comes to myself I try to do it all (mostly to my detriment).
