According to Essence, Civil stated, “… I left my hometown of Elizabeth, NJ to become the Social Media Manager for Beats by Dre in Los Angeles. I continued to grow my site, which had a male-dominated audience. I decided I was ready to launch my lifestyle and beauty site, LiveCivil.com. I wanted to create content that women could enjoy, too. With LiveCivil.com, we did a ground-breaking in Haiti for a playground, launched a women’s empowerment tour and partnered with Carol’s Daughter and CoverGirl.”

“Even as a child, my parents have instilled the importance of giving back, especially to the community that has given to you. Haiti gave me my family and heritage, so this playground is only my first way of giving back to Haiti,” said Civil on Forbes.
