Tracey Brooks Creativity is peacefulness of mind.

I really do enjoy crafting with them they have really gotten serious about what the are creating. We do all sorts of things like bead, paint, draw and much more. My girls have showed me a side of them that I think could have only been… Continue

Itiel McVay Changing. Growing. Success. Manifestation. Maintaining.

Five years ago I would not have thought that I would wake up at 7 am to process orders. Five years ago I would not have thought that my inbox would overflow with orders daily. Five years ago I would not have thought that my products would be in the homes of people from all walks of life. Yes, only five short (seemed far away back then) years ago, I desired to have more for my business, I knew the growth would come, but did not know exactly when.

With the demands of fitting in, and the lack of support from home and the community, the majority of young females start to go down the path that will dimin… Continue

cheryl Booths

Afrofest is coming up and I'd hoped enough members would sign up so that we could share the booth space for $62.50 each.

It would be great if we could raise enough money to pay for our own… Continue
