I know that I've been a bad girl not blogging for over a month...but it truly has been within good reason. I've started this new year off with lots of hope and faith pulling me through to do lots of things for the betterment of me and the people around me.
I'm glad to say that BBI is off to a good start, although it was a rough beginning. My network is growing daily, and I'm meeting all types of well rounded people who can in some way or another help mold me and those around me into the wonderful, uplifting and powerful people that we can become.
I want to thank a few of the people in my circle that are helping me along the way:
My Tierra's:
- Miss Tierra of Tay Productionz who has put together an AMAZING showcase that I'm so honored to be apart of. The showcase's message is all about encouraging people to embrace hope and change and using it to steer your life in a positive way. Tierra is truly a talented, brave, strong woman and her endurance keeps me going in my own life. She is truly an inspiration. I am actually a performer in the showcase and I just got my tickets! ($30) The showcase features vocalists, dancers, hip hop artists, models, artists (painting, graphic, etc) actors, and fashion designers of Detroit. I am competing in the vocalist category wish me luck! I'll elaborate on it at another time, it's March 26th...BUT if you'd like to support me and my friends...(JeLani: Hip Hop, James: Actor, Malachi: Spoken Word, Terrell and Christine: Photos) let me know and I'll elaborate on all of the festivities!
- My "know everybody" Tierra. She has lifted some of the weight off of my shoulders when it comes to BBI and I'm so grateful for her, she's like my guardian angel right now. I'm so happy to have you on board and I know we're about to make things happen cap'n!
Miss Krystal!!! Krystal has been promoting before BBI was even started and as soon as I told her my idea I had her support <3 I love her company, her spirit, and her motivation for me. Her faith in me keeps me going and I can't wait to do the same for her with her Poetry Club which should be coming soon :)
Chidinma and Amara: Thank you guys for supporting me and giving me the advice that I need to keep going <3
My Baby, my love: Thank you for being my rock. You have done SOOOOOOOO much for me I can't even begin to thank you. From designing my logo (that everyone loves), to printing a million copies of flyers and driving across town for little ole' me. Your optimism keeps me grounded babe. And I know that sometimes I can become filled with doubt, but I thank you for continuing to encourage me. I love that you want to be so active in my life and your input and ideas mean so much to me. You are a big help and I love you. I don't wanna get too mushy because we all know that I could talk all day. Love you <3
And to everybody who has shared the facebook page, the blog, and have had faith in my vision I thank you from the bottom of my heart because I can't do this without you guys...I could try but....ya know. And if I've left out anyone, blame it on the head not the heart <3 I definitely love you all.
I've also recently gotten my business cards for my makeup gig! I'm so excited. My portfolio however is a bit "blah" but we ARE working on that. If any models are interested be sure to let me know! We'd love to shoot you! (I need it!)
and hmmm lets see....my sprint bill is still high, I don't have a job yet, I've stopped eating meat (And my body is DEFINITELY adjusting as far as my bowels go...TMI I know) but I won't let these things hinder me...all I can do is keep going, keep my faith, and stay consistent in all that I do.
All in all, I am VERY excited for all of the things that I have planned for myself as well as BBI...I don't want to give too much away but trust me....GREAT things are to come :)
~We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.~ - Walt Disney
This quote SANG to me. I've always been the one to wonder "why" and "what if" and as of recently my curiosity and faith in moving forward has lead me into so many new things and gotten me acquainted with so many new people who I know will bring me nothing but positive change and growth. I see that the only way to move forward is to "Just Do It," and I'm doing and doing because I can't stop and I won't stop. I'm on the road to greatness, won't you please join me? Leave your fears behind ;-)
