Women...ladies...my sistahs take notice. This is OUR time. I don't know about you, but I've been paying attention to the ladies in L.A. for the past five years and I've witnessesed temendous growth in our Star power, our Networking power, our support power and our goin after it and gettin our Spiritual House in Order Today power. The sistahs (of varying shades and ethnicities) are doin it Big and Sexxy in this City!
Yesterday, my business associate and my personal walking billboard, Mrs. Scentsational soaps, her V.P Charles and I were privy to be amongst the elite in business for themselves persons at this year's grammy gifting suite. Now... if you think, for a minute, this is a brag move - I'm goin to need you to open your mind, your ears and your heart, because only small minded people would take this public declaration of gratitude as that of bragging. glad we got that out of the way. lol
The suite was filled with power players. The room was full of primarily, female business owners, entrepreneurs, and sistahs makin it happen against many odds. The killer part was these sistahs were not only savvy, but they were kind, genuine, supportive and loving. We were in awe of their products, presentation to their salesmanship and the swag in their swag bags. There was soo much beauty in that space, it was almost intoxicating. gorgeous men and beautiful men distracted me to the point that I wore my 3-hour heels for the entire 9 hours we were there. Let me paint this picture for you:
There was Jasmine Frank of Jazzy cakes. This sistah has homemade yummy, delicious home made baked goods worth giving yourself a cheat day. Then we happened upon this statuesque cocoa brown skinned sistah who is the president of Supernova PR - Ms. June Johnson. Not to mention the health conscious vegan lettuce wraps from Ladies Touch- Ewanda Jackson. Who knew lettuce and chopped veggies, a spritz of lime with a drizzle of ranch dressing could taste soo good. These women not only serviced and networked with every celebrity, their assistant and stylists, to other business owners in the suite. See....we were much more than vendors. As a matter of fact, there was NO vending going on. We, as a collective, were powerful, positive and huber confident women and men converged upon Siren studios to introduce to the world of Entertainment our much needed products and services. We, Charles, Toushounta and myself, are looking forward to rockin our matching Rockstar t-shirt's by XZavier. And no, we won't be wearing them at the same time. Toushonta copied my taste. lol. Thank you to the Latina sistah who hooked us up. We want to give it up to Exclusives Hair Studio who were doin big and beautiful things in that corner suite (Owner Twain and sylist Shanan)
The take away from that event was the importance of US, women, to continue to forge longlasting business relationships with one another. Let us continue to find ways to support one another. Let us continue to make it important to encourage one another. Let US continue to put our best foot forward. If you're in the health, beauty, fitness industry, i.e. (hair stylist, hair restoration, massage, bath & beauty products, lashes, party promotions, catering, nails) be your best walking commercial. Look, act and deliver the part. There is nothing juicier than doing business with someone who you can feel loves what they do, looks like they love it and is presenting their BEST self to me. I love it. I eat it up. Mostly...people are buying you before they buy your product or service. Make the extra effort to pamper yourself, get healthy and in shape, strengthen your constitution. The better you Look and feel, the better your social and professional life becomes. I'm not speaking of surface beauty. I'm speaking of doing that beauty work from the inside out. Statistically, people who are fit with a pleasing appearance, excel over those who are not. Companies are less likely to take a gamble on someone who is over weight than a fit and healthy person; as they assume you will call out more often and use your medical benefits more than a thin and fit person.
As some of you embark upon the NBA All Star activities in the upcoming week, let us be mindful of goin out there and gettin it. No Fear! No Excuses. To get yours, means you have to take nothing from someone else. Trust and believe, there is MORE than enough for ALL of us. In remembering that, let us make a more impactful determination to get our (Spiritual House In Order TODAY) in 2011.
Thank you to The Kartel Company (Erica and her crew of talented women) for the opportunity to Introduce to the Entertainement World, Scentsational Soaps and Unique FEESIQUES at this year's grammy's gifting Suite.
