Is blogging helping you grow professionally and
if, in what ways?
Blogging has been a great outlet for me to express
my creativity. It’s been a wonderful source of income
for my family, especially with my husband being a full
time student. I can’t believe how far it has come and
I am so blessed to have it! My blog has given me
the opportunity to learn about beauty and fashion,
write for babble, learn how to model, learn photography, all about computers and self-publishing.
Blogging really has forced me to educate myself
and learn about new things every day.
to believe in themselves
and if I can give them
that extra confidence
they need to feel that
much more beautiful,
then I’ve done my job!”
What are your next plans? What do you plan to
achieve/finish by the end of this year?
My album was released at the end of October.
I was working on it for a year and a half so that is
what I have been looking forward to most. The New
Braiding Handbook will be in bookstores in May of
2014. Hours and hours have gone into it so I’ll be
happy when it’s out for people to learn and grow
from! I’m excited for my husband Brian to finally have
a job and to be finished with school. I’m just happy
to have my readers and my family. Excited to start
a new year, who knows what’s in store!
You are already working on your second book, this
time a professional one, covered by a whole team
of people working on it.
Yes, it’s so exciting! It’s going to be similar in a way,
there will be step by step pictures, but the styles are all
new and a quality is going to be fabulous. I can’t even
tell you how amazing this book is going to be!
You have also started to coach women who want
to lose some weight. Tell us something about it.
After struggling to lose weight after my second baby
I was really discouraged. I had worked so hard for an
entire year, eating right and exercising and I was still 20
pounds to my goal. So when I saw my friend’s success
with the program I now coach for I decided to give it
a try. After losing 20 pounds in 6 weeks I decided to
share the program with everyone because it changed
my life so much.
You also sing, very beautifully! Have you been
doing it professionally?
Yes, a lot of people don’t know that I actually sing. It’s
the one thing I feel was a God given talent! For 15
years I was professionally trained and sung throughout
the highschool and college. I decided to give my music
career up to get married and have children, the best
decision ever. I actually am debuting a religious album.
It’s called Believer and 7 out of the 12 songs are originals. It’s been fun writing and recording this past year.
Something I’ve always been passionate about. Excited
to share my music with everyone!
