    Network & Chill LA

    “You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone.” I did exactly that a couple of weeks ago by producing my first event ever in Los Angeles. I created “Network & Chill” to create a space for people of color in the entertainment industry to connect in a meaningful way. I was so nervous to embark on such an endeavor and of course fear creeped in from time to time but I did it.

    Of course I couldn’t do it by myself. I’m grateful for SocialEras who donated their office space for Network & Chill. Their beautiful modern space was definitely a highlight for my guests who raved about it! I agreed of course lol! A heartfelt Thanks to SocialEras!!

    I also reached out to Suja Juice who immediately said yes to supporting Network & Chill. Their cold pressed juices are so good for the body and yummy too. Every influencer event that I’ve attended in LA, Suja Juice is always there with their delicious juices and always with a positive attitude. Their motto “We believe kindness quenches the soul,” which absolutely aligns with who I am and exactly what I wanted to convey through Network & Chill. We are all connected and we are more alike than our differences. Thanks Suja Juice!!

    I wanted to keep Network & Chill an imitate affair with just 40 people, so that all the attendees had a chance to make a life long connection or two. Everyone had welcome the opportunity to make professional and personal connections. I asked my friend Shukri Abdi to help with creating activities that really helped to peel back the layers of who people are. She was also the host of the networking activities and she killed it! Many Thanks my friend.

    We all know “no man is island” and that really rang true during the pre production of Network & Chill and during the event. A special THANKS TO Kelsey Scott, Kat Gana, Neil Taffe, Takara Joseph, Pentene’ of Style Me Fancy, Shukri Abdi, Ale Harnish, Mollie, Liz of Liz in Los Angeles, Crescent Muhammad, Kalia Silva, Mitzie Charles, Court Petrie, Julie Nishi, Steph Petrey, and DJ Tonee Macara and of course all my friends who came out to support me in my first endeavor as an event planner. I’m in pre-production for the next “Network & Chill” in Fall 2019. Yasssss! #TheUniverseHasMyBack

  • Sunday Funday: Photoville in LA

    I love Sunday Funday especially when photography is involved. I checked out Photoville in LA at the Annenberg Space Photography. The exhibit features local and international photographers work in repurposed shipping containers, photo cubes, and light boxes in a festival atmosphere. I had so much fun see all the artists incredible work.

    I totally stumbled upon Photoville LA but it was a sweet surprise to see the work of over 200 diverse artists from around the world and California. The exhibits highlights social and cultural causes that have impacted our communities.

    I would definitely recommend visiting the exhibit which runs through May 5th. The Annenberg Space for Photography even validates parking. I was there for two hours and it was totally free. It’s a great way to spend a spring afternoon, plus it’s right across the street from the Century City Mall. Score! You can go shopping afterwards and grab an organic lunch. #PhotovilleLA

  • My Hair Journey Continues

    My Hair Journey Continues

    If you’re a naturalista like me then you know there’s a lot of work that goes into taking care of natural hair. I’ve been natural for over seven years and even with its ups and downs I love my hair. It was like an incredible star of a hit Broadway show it was magnificent to style everyday. In the summer of 2017, I decided I wanted a change and had my hair straightened for six weeks. That’s all it took to destroy my once lush hair to lifeless stringy hair. I was devastated. Like most women my hair was a huge part of my identity and my self-worth. So once it was gone, I didn’t feel good about myself and my self confidence took a hit. I didn’t even think I had this issue until I was faced with it. The heat damage to my hair was absolutely nuts! I got a $200 haircut because I was nervous about ruining it for a second time. At the end of the day it was kinda like a big chop all over again.

    Seriously the first part of 2018 was rough because I had to learn to love myself without my hair. I thought I looked kinda odd without it, not as pretty, and kinda boring. This was all my internal dialogue of course. It took a couple of months to believe that I’m still awesomely beautiful without my hair and that it will grow back. Lots of affirmations, vegan cake, and Time because everything takes freakin time…lol. I had to do the inner work on myself as they say and it took about six months while I waited and waited for my hair to grow back. I’m grateful for the time to work on myself and the opportunity to relearn to love myself. Hair does not equal beauty. Long, short, mid-length, shaved, or even bald it’s all beautiful. Here’s the latest pics of my hair, it’s coming in nicely, right? Have you ever had to do a big chop? or a haircut to repair damage?
