New everything!

New job as beauty advisor for Carols Daughter~ the product I use to do my natural hair thing...specifically "Hair Milk" :) http://www.carolsdaughter.com/



I've recently reached out to www.voxrox.org   which is where I began my journalism career at the age of 16, and have joined the planning committee for TEDx-Youth Day...which is a big deal if you know anything about the TED brand.


New dating column entitled "Dating While Black"... I feel like the black Carries Bradshaw ( Sex In the City for the giys)

Also new connects in the music scene, that inlcude Miykal Snoddy, Ricardo Spicer, and Moetown Lee...if you're in music...you should know these guys...period and if you don't...google them...like now... or just kill yourself :)

Here's a video ofAnthony David from the http://www.onemusicfest.com/ panel held last week, he's India Arie's songwriting partner in crime...he's awesome! This panel is where I met my new contacts...it's not about what you know, but who you luv! I also have the Q & A portion but got to edit that...so maybe next week...maybe

Big ups to THE MAN UPSTAIRS for continually putting me in the right place at the right time with the right people  and also helping me to balance it all :)

Finally got my footage uploaded from the Savoy Women's Leadership Conference...Check it out!

Although the last couple of days have been bittersweet, as my Grandma Dena suffered a stroke over this past weekend, so please keep her in your prays as she recovers.

I know she would've love to be at something like this...check it out :)

Good News...

I've really been meaning to post up all the wonderful things going on, but it's funny how the bad ones can over power that.

Like the fact that I was laid off a couple of weeks ago from that " easiest money I ever made" job, and found myself in line at the unemployement office ( cracking up btw at the sights that are in that building, while simultaneously smdh at the piss poor formula the U.S. Gov't has decided to use to manage our country's unemployment inniative...) only to be told that I didn't make enough while I was there to have a claim...to make matters worse, I think I was only like $200 away from qualifying.

This was a blow, yes, because I was funding my other projects with that job, but not detrimental enough seeing that I've also landed my very first column shortly after that "blow" :)

That's right! With www.TheCelebrityCafe.com...I'm crazy excited for this opportunity ! Unfortuanately, I will not be covering music, which is fine, because I believe in diversification...(I'm also well versed in other subject matters as well.) I will be covering NBC's "The Marriage Ref".

I know some people are like "what the hell do I know about marriage?" And I think the more proper question is "What the hell does ANYBODY know about marriage?"

Well I'm going to dive right into it with this column by really studying the institution that is marriage. Is it really just a business arrangement? Was love ever really a factor? And if it is, why is the divorce rate so high? You know stuff like that... and although my biological clock hasn't begun ticking technically and finding "the one" isn't really top priority, I still think 25 is a great age to get a full unbiased opinion on the subject. Here's a clip from season 1





I'll also be taking bets on couples longevity potential...lol j/k...maybe...

This is a no brainer...

N*E*R*D Giveaway & Concert footage

So this was awesome

I love that Atlanta isn't afraid to show off their successful female counterparts! I was really inspired by all these women once I heard their endless list of accomplishments and achievements. These are the premier taste makers of ATL and I was so elated to be in the same room with them!

My phone decided to die right as the event began, so I couldn’t tweet about all of the faboulous-ness that surrounded me. Especially the venue itself, The Glam Bar, owned by Sabrina Peterson, if you haven't been already, this is somewhere every woman in Atlanta should go to at least once to get all done up and sexy before they hit the town. They were also filiming a reality show (yes another one) during the event entitled "Fash-Lane on Peters St." So be on the look out for that!

I interviewed Rashan Ali (formerly of V-103 again..such a doll), Terri Vaugn (I have such a funny story about that, but maybe another day ) and also Nicole Garner of the Garner Circle PR Firm, who I really think is just an all around powerhouse. I made a lot of connections of course, one in particular that I can’t wait to sit down have lunch with…hopefully she’ll want to be my mentor as I’m actively seeking for one . ..*fingers crossed*. Another thing that I loved about this event because it completed deaded the common stereotyoe that women can't work together. There was no cattiness, no funny looks, or hating...just a celebration of greatness...I dig that...

Google these women…there are definitely some individuals you need to know if you want to progress through anything from entertainment to charity foundations in ATL...or anywhere for that matter

Congratulations to all the Fearless Females...who knows..that could be us soon! :)

Soooo somebody thinks I have pretty hair .... Hair Model Call today.... Are you going? :)
