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)

"....and even after all my logic and my theory, I add a muthafucka so you ignorant niggas hear me!"

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.

Check out Candace, Tosh, Christi and Onika, all rockin' one (or more) of my "peace."

Peace STL...

our going away party...



so many folks came through to send us off with good energy and well wishes..



Rockwell Knuckles, Tef Poe, Corey Black, Family Affair, Teresa Jenee, Vandalyzm, Blackspade, and so many others performed.



All for that white guy in the middle. In the 10 years he spent in STL, I'm not sure there was a DJ who supported and loved local hip hop music more than he did.



I love him and I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful potna in crime.



What a night.

Don't Call It a Comeback....

Oh you didn't think a pesky 2000 mi. road trip would keep me from posting new jewelry did you?

You must not know bout me....






Check out my FB GROUP for much, much more :)



Bless.

Moving Day.

Cali.

Yay.

We decided to leave tomorrow instead. I am going to hit one more retailer re: my "peaces", in addition to a few last minute trifles.

I'll be blogging the entire road trip :)

I'm excited for change and embracing it.

Let's go...

Blessings..

Wendi and my butterfly choker made the front page today.

Holy crap!

That's twice in one week.

I definitely have issues with the way they conduct business sometimes, but the front page brings with it much visibility. Can't front on that.

I'm thankful.

Back to Packing. We head West for good Sunday morning :)

"Abayomi" made the coveted front page this evening while I was out experiencing another blessing.

Pretty amazing.

Thank you.

Full Circle.

Much thanks to Tech Supreme for the flyer.
And to all of the performers... you're wonderful!

Hope to see you there.

For Corners...

Digable Planets will be in STL this Sunday 11/8. If you've never seen them in concert, you should. They are amazing.
