CELINA was 19 when she got her first cosmetic surgery - aged 24, she had a BBL. 2 weeks after the procedure, Celina says she had a calling from God telling her she needed to start a business to care for other girls who have gone through surgery. She endeavoured to own and manage a recovery house so she created her own business for people who have gone through surgery. Since then, Celina says she has turned her body into a brand and is now a successful business woman; she owns several recovery houses and Airbnbs too. At age 26, Celina started a second business which is a community on Instagram that encourages women and helps them understand their purpose. She coaches women online and raises them up through faith. She made the decision to become a licensed church minister around 4 months ago to enable her to guide women. She gained criticism for this, people in the church told her that she couldn't be a minister because of how she looks and that she is a hypocrite for changing the body that God gave her. Celina continues to successfully build her business, she has gained hundreds of thousands of followers, written a book and says she earns over 6 figures.

00:00I'm a church minister and I have a BBO.
00:03I love my BBO.
00:05I'm not for everybody.
00:08Today, I'm linking up with my auntie and my sister,
00:11but she is not okay with me having multiple rounds
00:14of surgery and we're actually planning
00:16on getting another one.
00:17And my auntie is not gonna be happy about it,
00:19but oh well.
00:21Is this the bathing suit?
00:23I thought you said it was modest.
00:25Oh dear God.
00:27My name is Selena Nicole.
00:30I'm a church minister and I have a BBO.
00:32I would describe my look,
00:33I would say I'm like Black Barbie, the baddest.
00:38I became a church minister when I was 28.
00:40I didn't decide to become a church minister.
00:43God called me to become a church minister.
00:45I haven't always been religious.
00:46It kind of just started to align to my purpose
00:49and who I was at that time.
00:52I was 19 years old when I got my first procedure.
00:55I got breast implants and then I got a BBO.
00:58So I got liposuction and a bat transfer.
01:02You are about to have a BBO here.
01:03I have five things that you need to know.
01:04I'm laying down because I can't breathe.
01:06This is a very serious procedure.
01:09You need to make sure that you are recovering
01:11with someone that can ensure
01:12that you are healing safely and properly.
01:14And then I ended up going to Columbia this year
01:16and I got veneers and I also got facial balancing.
01:20So come vitamin shopping with me to prepare for my BBO.
01:24I decided to get a BBO because I was a very slim girl
01:27and I always wanted shape.
01:28I always knew I wanted surgery since I was like 11.
01:31And so I got my abdomen, my sides,
01:33which I call planks and my back liposuction
01:36and I got it transferred to my hips and my butt.
01:38I would have wished that I knew more
01:40about incision placement because I have dots
01:43all over my back and I look like a Dalmatian.
01:45I love my BBO.
01:49I do, I love my BBO.
01:51I turned my BBO into a business, so I love my BBO.
01:54No regrets.
01:56I have a business called The Beauty Headquarters
01:58and we cater to plastic surgery clients
02:01that are flying from out of country or out of state.
02:03Surgery is not a cheap girl sport
02:05and post-op care is usually more expensive
02:08than your surgery itself.
02:10And it's not optional, it is a necessity.
02:13A lot of people when they think about
02:15the fact that I'm a minister,
02:17that they think that most of my ministerial duties
02:20is in the church, but it's actually not.
02:23I actually operate as a church minister in my businesses.
02:26So I operate in my day-to-day life.
02:29Hi.
02:31How are you?
02:32I'm okay.
02:33How are you feeling?
02:34I'm feeling great.
02:35I decided to get a BBO because I wanted to look good.
02:38My overall stay has been wonderful.
02:41They have helped me with a lot.
02:44The recovery house is called The Beauty Headquarters,
02:46The Beauty HQ for short,
02:48and it is a home that is staffed
02:50with licensed professionals.
02:53We have drivers, chefs,
02:55and they help the girls recover after surgery.
02:57How has your recovery been?
02:59It's been a wonderful experience.
03:01I just wanted to stop by and, you know,
03:03recovery is a crazy journey.
03:06It's important that you heal and recover safely
03:08after surgery.
03:09These are major surgeries,
03:11and so it's important that you have
03:13the right recovery team by your side.
03:15So I wanted you to know you're supported
03:17and I wanted to see if you wanted to pray with me.
03:18Yes, ma'am.
03:19Okay.
03:20We do pray with our clients.
03:22Dear Heavenly Father,
03:23they tell us things that they're going through
03:25where, like, their surgery best is.
03:26In Jesus' name I pray.
03:28Amen.
03:30I don't know about y'all,
03:31but trying to figure out what to eat after a BBO
03:33could be, like, rocket science.
03:34And who has the time for that?
03:37I'm going live on Instagram.
03:39Mm-hmm.
03:40Mm-hmm.
03:41Let me hurry up.
03:43It's 12 o'clock and I have to get on live
03:45with the rich girls.
03:47I do my Bible studies every morning.
03:49I have 164,000 followers,
03:52and I help women on their journey with that.
03:54Hey, y'all.
03:55I came on here to give y'all a quick word.
03:57Hey, foreign.
03:59A lot of people have judged me and said
04:00they don't think that I'm qualified
04:02to lead the girls that I lead.
04:03Got on here just to give you guys the Lord's word,
04:06but today, because I don't tell everybody
04:08that I'm a minister,
04:09a lot of them don't know until they see me on Instagram,
04:12I was, like, praying and asking God
04:14what he wanted y'all to know for real.
04:16Once they see me, they're, like, very shocked,
04:19and a lot of people think that I'm not qualified
04:21or called to do it.
04:22I want to go to Amos 9.13,
04:26and this is my favorite Bible verse,
04:27but it says,
04:28I don't think most people in the church
04:30really know that I have a BBL.
04:32The time will come, says the Lord.
04:34There are some that judge me for having a BBL.
04:36When the grain and the grapes will grow faster,
04:39then they can be harvested.
04:40And there are some that actually find
04:43that I'm more relatable to the people I'm ministering to.
04:45They will never again be uprooted
04:47from the land I have given them, says the Lord, your God.
04:51I'm not for everybody.
04:53Today, I'm linking up with my auntie and my sister.
04:55Shira is my auntie.
04:57She's also the manager of the beauty headquarters.
05:00Nash is my twin.
05:01We call each other twins.
05:03We're not blood twins, but we might as well be.
05:06My twin has a clothing brand called Nash Swim
05:09for the baddies,
05:10and so today, she's about to bring over
05:12some of her clothes for me to try on.
05:14Now that I have a BBL,
05:15it's more challenging to find clothes that fit properly
05:18because, you know, my boobs are done and my butt is big,
05:21so it's a little challenging.
05:23I definitely think I have to dress a certain way
05:25as a church minister,
05:26but I try to balance it out with being modest as well,
05:29so I think that's the hard part for me.
05:34Oh my God!
05:36Is that twin and auntie?
05:38Hi!
05:40Hi, twin!
05:42I'm Nash.
05:43I'm Selena's twin.
05:44Oh, you brought me some clothes?
05:45Selena and I are so close.
05:46We call each other twins.
05:49Hi, auntie.
05:50Hi, baby.
05:52I'm Shira Thompson.
05:53I'm Selena's aunt.
05:54Good.
05:55Waiting for y'all.
05:56I came bearing gifts.
05:58You brought me something?
05:59Oh, I love when you bring gifts.
06:01So I've been a minister of dance for about 25 years.
06:05My auntie was so excited when I became a minister.
06:07She was telling everybody.
06:08She was telling all of my clients
06:10because I had no intentions of telling anybody.
06:12Me and Selena are always together
06:15because I'm the operations manager
06:16for the beauty headquarters,
06:18so I love the fact that when they have the surgeries,
06:21a lot of these girls might have issues with self-esteem.
06:24They might have issues with just being
06:25who they want to be, comfortable in their skin,
06:28so to be a part of that transformation is amazing.
06:33My auntie loves the fact that I have a BBL
06:34because it brings in the money,
06:36but she is not okay with me
06:39having multiple rounds of surgery.
06:41Some things Selena and I have in common
06:43is we both have BBLs.
06:45And we're actually planning
06:46on getting another one together.
06:48And my auntie is not gonna be happy about it,
06:50but oh well.
06:51I brought you some Nashlum.
06:53Thank you, girl.
06:54I needed some outfits, too.
06:55Y'all are literally still playing dress up
06:57like you did when you were kids?
06:59I have a clothing brand, Nashlum.
07:00Nashlum is an online women's boutique for all the girls,
07:03but the girls with the BBLs definitely rock Nashlum.
07:07What'd you bring me, twin?
07:08Little bit of this, little bit of that.
07:09I kept it modest, so you'll be proud.
07:11She kept it modest.
07:13Come on for the modesty.
07:14Okay.
07:15Let's see.
07:16Let's see.
07:16Oh, this is cute.
07:18I like it.
07:19Oh, thank you, twin.
07:21I needed some bathing suits.
07:23Good.
07:24Is this the bathing suit?
07:26Yeah.
07:26I thought you said it was modest.
07:29Oh, dear God.
07:30This is helpless.
07:33Okay, keep going, keep going.
07:34It's got to be more modesty.
07:35We're in Miami.
07:36You don't wear clothes when you come to Miami.
07:38Oh.
07:39Okay, so this is the one we're definitely wearing
07:41at this point.
07:42I like, this is cute.
07:43This is giving.
07:44Yeah.
07:45This is giving what it needs to for today.
07:46Exactly.
07:47And it's covering you up.
07:49Your favorite.
07:52I do have plans of getting more surgery in the future.
07:55Just one.
07:56Just one more.
07:57I want to get another BBL.
07:58My advice to anybody that wants to get plastic surgery,
08:01it's definitely going to be life-changing.
08:04Make sure that it's something that you want to do
08:07for yourself and not anybody else.
