We had the good fortune of connecting with Bimba Eight and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bimba, what is the most important factor behind your success?
I believe the most important factor behind any success is an unshakable belief in your dream.You have to dream so boldly that even you feel a little shocked by the scale of your own desires.Success rarely comes on the first try,not for me,and not for most people.But I believe a truly successful person is simply someone who once failed and wasn’t afraid to try again.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Art has always been a part of me.I started painting as a child, and it’s a talent I returned to again and again,even after life pulled me away.It’s not just creative expression;it’s how I reconnect with my soul.The same goes for my blog,sharing my voice,my journey,and my energy became a way to inspire others and rebuild myself in the process.

I was born under the number 17 in numerology the Star.It’s a symbol of purpose,visibility,and creative destiny.I believe my mission is to shine in my own way and help others do the same.Through my art,my words,and my story, I offer a space of healing, transformation,and truth. Nothing about this path was easy,but it was always mine and that’s what makes it powerful.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was visiting Los Angeles for a week,I’d make sure they experienced the city through my favorite lens,a mix of art,beauty,great food,and inspiring spaces.

We’d start our mornings with a strawberry matcha at Cha Cha Matcha,my favorite drink to sip with friends while soaking in that laid-back LA vibe.Then we’d explore the art scene:a must is The Broad,Getty Villa,and the quirky,unforgettable Brainwash Museum,each with its own unique energy and story.If I had an art exhibition at the time,of course,that would be on the list too!

For a cozy, elegant dinner,I’d take them to The Grill on the Alley on Rodeo Drive.It’s not just about the food,the charm is in the people.Many of the staff have been working together there for over 30 years,which creates a truly warm,timeless atmosphere.It’s a little hidden gem that feels like home in the middle of Beverly Hills.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d love to dedicate my shoutout to several people.First and foremost,my parents,even during the darkest moments of my life,they always told me they loved me,believed in me,and were proud of me.That kind of unconditional support is priceless.

I’m also deeply grateful to my friends.From the very beginning of my journey,they were the ones who kept saying, “Go for it,you’ve got this.” Their belief in me gave me courage.

And of course,my followers, every single one of you.Thank you for being here,for your love and attention.Without you,there would be no “me” in this version of the story.

And lastly,a little unexpected shoutout to Elon Musk.Once,he was asked, “Did you ever think you needed to pack this in?” And he simply replied, “I never give up.” That moment stuck with me.Whenever things don’t go as planned,I rewatch that clip,look at what’s possible,and remind myself to keep going.
