Walking with Innovators Gwen Devoe and Sharon Quinn

 

      
When the Innovators of Full-Figured Fashion Week offer a Runway Intensive Class you make moves to be in that class. I could not pass up this opportunity to gain knowledge and training with these two powerhouses. This was a first come first serve opportunity. This was a small intimate class offered by founder and CEO of Full-Figured Fashion Week Ms. Gwen DeVoe and The Runway Diva Ms. Sharon Quinn. If you missed this, let me tell you this was a game changing opportunity. Let me give you some of the highlights from this intimate session.

 The class consisted of about 15-20 women. Most of the women that attended are models at different stages in their careers. Opening the class we discussed some of the industry standards, the body positive movement, composite cards, posing, selecting a team for your photo shoots . As well as how not to be type cast within the industry. They touched on how important branding and investing in your craft is for your modeling career. Both ladies gave great advice on being your best within the industry.
The second half of the class of course was the Runway Intensive. Boy, was it intense. These ladies did not come to play. We were given pointers on how to blaze the runway. What your stride should look like on the runway and how to pose at the end of the runway. Make the most of your moment in front of the cameras ladies.
It wouldn't 't be a Runway Intensive if there wasn't a competition. Now you know there had to be a walk off....Team Devoe verses Team Quinn. Each coach chose three members from their group to represent their team. Let's just say Team Quinn brought the heat while the Silver Foxes burned down the building down. This was so much fun.

The Chrysalis Boutique-Starting a business

Image
Soooooo. I'm starting a business. I'm excited, nervous and determined.  With everything I have going on I've got the nerve to start a business. As a child,  I knew wanted to be a CEO. I love music so much I thought it would be a record label. God has a way of motivating you to get to your intended destination.  The desire to pursue this venture comes for a variety of reasons.  I've been with my current employer for over seventeen years. I'm still bewildered by that number. It's been a great source of income and other revenue.  Most of my coworkers have been a hair client at one time or another. As a single mother that helped out a lot.  Lately I've felt unfulfilled with the job. I know there is more to this life than this nine to five.  I used to love my job and now it's a push to get out the bed to go. I help people with mental health disabilities with their finances. For a time this was fulfilling however, these days things have changed at the job.

Checks and Balances

Checks and balances....A day in the life of this queen is non-stop. My schedule is planned a month in advance. A full-time job, a full-time husband and sons, making time for family events, setting up 3 businesses, preparing our personal finances to buy a second home, photo shoots , fashion shows, content for the blog, getting on a social media schedule, scheduling clients for hair appointments, finding ways to increase my income and reduce debt, opening my online boutique, selling property, dealing with disgruntled family members and maintaining the few true friendships I have.  I'm forever planning, building, laying foundation, or maintaining something, and all the while with a smile.  When do I find the time to balance this life? My peace is found in prayer. My balance is the small moments with my family laughing, cooking, sitting on my porch, listening to music with my husband, and remembering why I'm doing all this in the first place. To have a legacy to leave my child

Growing Pains

Well I'm half way thru the month and I've made it thru two fashion shows and two birthdays my oldest son twenty-one years old and the youngest turned three. Witnessing my first born turn twenty-one and find his way in this world has been the hardest thing to watch.  My daily confession has always been Lord, I trust you with my son. I have confessed that  incessantly  in the last two years.  We didn't have a hard strenuous relationship when he was young. He stayed clear of trouble and we were always able to talk openly. I recall telling him when he turned 17 that our relationship was about to change and it was going to be hard. That statement rang true sooner than later. In the last two years, I’ve cried, questioned who I was as a mother and blamed myself for where he was in life. Had I given him too much? Where did I miss it? How did we get here? My husband gave me some much needed tough love. I am a good parent, but he was growing up and I had to let him. In life there ar
