HELLO MAY!
Radiant
With warm weather approaching, make sure you are taking the best care of our skin. Less blemishes, more glow! Paying close attention to chemically- treated and scented products that may cause breakouts. Daily facials and treatments are necessary. Relaxing and refreshing your skin, and body are important. An unknown source once said, "What if we charge our bodies as often as we charge our phones?" You can still slay with a natural glow! African Shea and Coconut Butters are great for shine and softness. Ashanti Naturals is a great products to use on skin, and even for hair care! For in-home facials, SOO AE has a great product. Providing mask to help rejuvenate and moisturize skin in as little as 20 minutes. Applying minimal foundation, and a dab of concealer you can display that mid-summer day golden glow! Glam specialist, Tationna Brooks says her current highlighter and lip combo is MAC'S "Gold Deposit" skinfinish and red liquid lipstick. Simple and Chic.
Keep a natural beat with a bomb highlighter and lip combo.
Sparkle this spring!

Your challenge as a #GIRLBOSS is to dive headfirst into things without being too attached to the results. When your goal is to gain experience, perspective, and kowledge, failure is no longer possible. Failure is your invention.

BOOK OF THE MONTH!
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
Favorite Quotes
"Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle."
"When you begin with the finish line in mind, you miss all the fun stuff along the way."
"Treat your thoughts like dollar bills: Don;t waste 'em."
"Focus on the positive things in your life and you'll be shocked at how many things start happening."
STAY IN YOUR LANE: Don't worry about what others are doing to the left or right of you. We tend to compare ourselves to others especially more than ever because of social media, but instead, we should always focus on what makes us unique. With this, we will be able to understand that we all have a different lane to success. Allow people to love you for you and embrace every imperfection.
Kicking it with kham!
How do you operate in a so-called “male dominated” field? I have always felt like one of the guys so it doesn’t bother me as much as most people probably would expect. To me it’s very simple, I don’t consider myself a “female DJ” because although I’ am a woman I should always be expected to compete on the same level as any of my male counterparts, and I hold that standard for myself. Lastly, I always draw the line between business and personal. If you could collaborate with any #GirlBoss, who would it be? Why? Listen I've been waiting for someone to ask me this, so I hope she gets a chance to read this someday. Oprah, I love and admire your work ethic and the platform you’ve created for women and young girls all around the world, and I pray with every fiber in my body that I too someday will be able to create global change. Oprah exemplifies the power of greatness; she understands that her life and success are far greater than herself and that’s what I admire the most. Who are your favorite music artist? Erykah Badu, Kendrick Lamar, and Jay-z are by far my favorite music artist. They all inspire me to color outside of the imaginary lines that society has placed on all of us and to stay true to myself not only as an artist, but an entrepreneur as well. Where do you see your business in the next 3 – 5 years? I try to take things one day at a time, so it’s hard to say where I'll be in the next 3 - 5 years. I'd like to get more involved in developing after school art programs for teenagers and break into motivational speaking, but I know that won't take 3 -5 years. What’s your favorite Spring essential and/or trend? My favorite spring essential is my sunglasses. I have to block the haters at all times, so please don't be surprised if you see me out with shades on and there’s no sun outside. What is your favorite quote? “ Life is defined by the Devine element of purpose” - Khameron Gross
I pull both my fashion and music inspiration from my soul. Off-course we’re all influenced by what’s trendy at the moment in some aspect, but I have several facets to my personality that serve as the inspiration for my style and music choice.
SPRING (RESORT) LOOKS!
