We’re looking forward to introducing you to Bella Logan. Check out our conversation below.
Bella, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
This is a challenging question because it touches an area I’ve been wrestling with for a while. Recently, I was blessed with the opportunity to serve as a brand ambassador for Adobe’s Creative Community, and it has been one of the most fulfilling moments of my creative journey so far. After hearing so many no’s, after feeling overlooked and stagnant for so long, this opportunity reminded me that someone finally saw me—my gifts, my vision, my passion—and valued what I bring to the world. It was a breath of fresh air.
But at the same time, I’m still working my 9 to 5-a job I genuinely enjoyed in the beginning and a source of consistent financial stability, benefits, and structure. The challenge now is that although the work itself still matters to me, the environment has shifted. It has become toxic, inconsistent, and emotionally draining. The support I once had has disappeared, and the version of myself that once walked into that workplace feeling seen, respected, and affirmed…no longer feels present there.
So now I’m in this uncomfortable space: the in-between. I feel God calling me toward a new chapter, one that requires faith, risk, and trust. And I’ll be honest, I’m afraid. I’ve taken leaps before, and even though they eventually led to growth, the fear of the unknown is real. I find myself thinking through the “what ifs.”
But with prayer, reflection, and time, I’m learning to rewire my thinking. The Bible says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” I had to shift my mindset from What if everything goes wrong? to What if this works? What if God is leading me into the very season I’ve been praying for? What if this leap opens doors I never imagined?
I truly believe God is inviting me to trust Him with the next step—to let go of what’s draining me and walk toward what’s growing me. I’m still navigating what that looks like, but I’m positioning myself to move when He says move.
And for anyone who may feel the same way: you’re not alone. Sometimes the biggest signs that it’s time to leap are discomfort, misalignment, and the quiet pull toward more. Fear might speak loudly, but faith speaks truth.
Only time will tell where God takes me next, but I’m choosing to walk toward it with hope instead of fear.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Bella Logan, and I am a model, creative director, stylist, photographer, and all-around multidisciplinary artist serving Mississippi, Tennessee, and beyond. Everything I do—whether I’m in front of the camera or behind it—is rooted in storytelling. My work blends fashion, emotion, spirituality, and editorial narrative in a way that allows people to feel something, not just see it.
I think what makes me and my brand truly unique is the way I create from my soul. I don’t just produce images—I express experiences. I pull from my emotions, my faith, my imagination, and even the parts of my story that once made me feel misunderstood. Growing up in a small town in the Delta, my creativity and bold self-expression often made me an outlier. But today, those same qualities are the reason my work stands out. I learned early on to follow where my spirit leads me—whether that shows up through modeling, photography, poetry, styling, or digital art.
Over time, I’ve expanded my artistry into a full creative service brand. I now offer editorial photography, styling, creative direction, and visual storytelling to clients seeking something deeper than a pretty picture—clients who want images that hold meaning, emotion, and narrative. I want everyone I work with to walk away feeling more confident, powerful, and beautiful than they already are.
Right now, I’m in the process of fully becoming the version of myself I always dreamed of—both creatively and professionally. I’m building my brand into something bigger than a name: a fashion-forward, spiritually inspired, artistically driven household presence that empowers others to express themselves boldly and unapologetically.
My mission is simple:
To create art that moves people, honors their inner beauty, and tells stories that linger long after the image fades.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
This is another deeply vulnerable question for me, because the part of myself I’m releasing is tied to years of identity, survival, and conditioning. In 2025, I finally came to the realization—and acceptance—that I am a transgender woman. That truth has been both liberating and overwhelming, because embracing it required me to let go of a version of myself that I no longer recognize, connect with, or feel fulfilled by.
For so long, I lived in a version of myself shaped by fear—fear of judgment, fear of rejection, fear of disappointing the people I loved. Growing up in a deeply religious environment where my sexuality was shunned, I was constantly silencing myself, shrinking myself, and performing versions of masculinity that never belonged to me. I became who others expected me to be simply to earn their approval. Looking back, I barely recognize that person. I can feel the pain, but I no longer feel the identity.
Eventually, you can only pretend for so long. The real me—the woman God created from the beginning—started emerging before my own eyes. And the beautiful thing is that so many people around me saw her before I allowed myself to. For that, I thank God.
During the years I struggled with identity, confidence, self-worth, and self-love, I chased people, achievements, aesthetics, and relationships hoping they would bring me a sense of peace and belonging. But none of it could fill the void that only God could touch. It took heartbreak after heartbreak, loss after loss, closed doors, and spiritual exhaustion for me to finally surrender myself fully to Jesus Christ.
When I reached that point of submission, everything shifted. God brought me a level of peace, joy, and clarity I had never experienced before. He redefined for me what love, friendship, community, and identity truly are. He gave me freedom—freedom to exist, to flourish, to love myself, and to become the woman He always knew I was.
So the part of me I am releasing is that old identity—the fearful version of myself who lived for the approval of people rather than the purpose of God. They have served their purpose. That version of myself kept me alive long enough to grow into the woman I am now. But it’s time for that part of myself to be released with gratitude, not guilt.
Today, I am boldly stepping into the God-fearing woman I am becoming—day by day, prayer by prayer, lesson by lesson. And I’m so thankful for the journey, because now I walk with confidence and freedom that only Jesus can give.
My hope for anyone reading this—especially those wrestling with identity, purpose, or belonging—is this:
Invite God into the process—partner with Him. Ask Him to show you who you were always destined to be.
You don’t have to find yourself alone. God is still revealing identities, still healing hearts, still restoring confidence, and still calling His children into their true, ordained selves in a time such as this.
If He did it for me, He can absolutely do it for you.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Absolutely—more times than I can count. One of the biggest moments was when I left college to pursue my dreams, but the most recent moment happened just this year, right before partnering with Adobe.
I reached a point where I felt so defeated and overlooked that I convinced myself it was time to give up modeling and content creation entirely. I started planning to return to school—not because it was my calling, but because it felt like the “safe” option. In my mind, becoming a nurse like so many in my family, or returning to engineering to finish my degree, would give me stability, a clear path, and something society would define as “successful.”
But every step of that process felt heavy. I would sit down to fill out the application and immediately feel sadness wash over me. Deep in my heart and soul, I knew this wasn’t my true desire. I wasn’t choosing those paths out of passion—I was choosing them out of fear. I was trying to force myself into a version of success that didn’t belong to me.
Eventually, I stopped the process altogether. I couldn’t push myself into something that wasn’t aligned with who God created me to be. And looking back now, I’m so grateful I didn’t. Because not long after, Adobe saw me. They valued me. They affirmed what God had placed in me all along. That “almost giving up” season became the doorway into one of the biggest blessings of my career.
I want to be clear: we absolutely need nurses, engineers, and every other profession that keeps our world running. And who knows? Maybe God will call me back to school ten years from now. But in this season, that wasn’t where my purpose or passion lived.
Through years of struggle—emotionally, spiritually, financially, and creatively—I’ve learned that suffering is not wasted. It taught me patience. It built my character. It deepened my empathy and strengthened my perseverance. Most importantly, it pushed me closer to God.
I am deeply thankful to my Lord, who carried me through every discouraging moment, every heartbreak, every “no,” every setback. And I’m equally grateful for the people He placed in my life—friends, family, supporters, and even strangers—who became reminders that I wasn’t walking alone.
Because of God and this beautiful community He’s blessed me with, I didn’t give up. And I’m standing here today as proof that even when it looks like nothing is working… God is still working.
If you’re in that place right now—tired, disappointed, ready to quit—please hear me:
Don’t make permanent decisions out of temporary discouragement. Your breakthrough might be closer than you think.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My closest friends would tell you that unity is one of the most important things to me. I care deeply about bringing people together—creating spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and safe to express themselves.
Community has always mattered to me because, for so long, I knew what it felt like to not have one. That’s why I’m passionate about building environments rooted in love, understanding, and connection.
They would also say that I have a heart for being a voice for those who feel voiceless. Whether it’s through my art, my testimony, or my presence, I naturally take on the role of advocating for people who feel unseen or unheard. I believe God gave me this visibility not just for myself, but so I can stand in the gap for others. I carry that responsibility with humility and purpose.
And lastly—but truly most importantly—my friends know how deeply my relationship with God matters to me. Every part of my life, my identity, my creativity, and my purpose is anchored in the Lord. My journey has taught me that everything I am called to do flows from who my savior is in my life. That’s why the things that matter to me—unity, advocacy, compassion, creativity—are all connected to the reason I believe God placed me on this Earth.
If you strip away the titles, the achievements, the collaborations, and the aesthetics, you’ll find someone who simply wants to love well, uplift others, and walk in obedience to what God is calling me to do.
Because at the end of the day, that’s what truly matters to me—being who God created me to be, and serving others through that identity.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
When I’m gone, I hope the story people tell about me is one rooted in love, unity, and transformation. I pray they say I was someone who built a community that truly felt like community—a place where people were seen, supported, and embraced exactly as they were. I want my life to reflect the power of togetherness, because I know firsthand how life-changing it is to finally find a space where you belong.
I also hope my story inspires generations—both before me and long after I’m gone—to rise into their strength, to walk boldly in who they were created to be, and to pursue their purpose without fear. If my journey can remind someone that it is possible to break cycles, heal, evolve, and still choose love, then my life will have spoken loudly.
But above all, the deepest desire of my heart is that my works point people back to God. I hope the legacy I leave behind leads others to build a real relationship with Him—to discover salvation, healing, and identity in Jesus Christ. Because everything beautiful in my story, everything I’ve overcome, everything I’ve become, has been because of His grace.
If people remember me as someone who loved God, loved people, and used her gifts to bring light into the world… that will be enough. That will be the story I hope lives on.
