The Science.

"If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one."

Carter G. Woodson (The Mis-Education of the Negro)

Cali....

What can I say.. it's treating me well.

It's been a hectic past few weeks. We packed our place on our own and sent it to the shipper... all in the rain.

We were DETERMINED to get outta St. Louis.

Something about that city... it's a void. It sucks you in and you forget the rest of the world exists. Not good for perspective, growth OR business.

Since being in California, the man and I have given ourselves no downtime. I have shopped, and will continue to shop, several boutiques; my man already has DJ gigs, and I have a couple of trunk shows in the works in L.A.

My style is changing, as are my influences.

My jewelry will be featured in many shoots soon... and the list goes on and on.

Constant forward movement.

And remember, what others do is meaningless. It should not affect how you live your life. Stay focused.

Great news to come.. stay tuned.


Growth...

When I first started my company, my beautiful customers began to send me photos of themselves wearing my art. It took me a minute to realize why they did it. It was because what I created for them made them feel so good, so proud, they wanted to share it with the world.

Beautiful.
