WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Inspirational Souls

Raedawn Johnson



My friend Raedawn Johnson was featured in Essence.com!  Raedawn is the founder of Orglamic Beauty and a celebrity makeup artist here in NYC, we’ve collaborated a couple of times, and I’m so happy that she’s getting some shine.  She’s such a great, energetic soul! Check out her great story, as well as a few tips to you aspiring makeup artists.

Here’s and excerpt:

” I was 21 years old, had just landed in New York City and was laser-focused on accomplishing one goal—becoming a well-known, well-respected TV and film actress. After five years of hearing casting directors tell me I didn’t “look ethnic enough” or my skills weren’t “good enough,” I decided I needed a plan B.” Go to Essence.com to read the rest of the Raedawn’s story.

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN: street style

3 Oct



Hey Guys!


Its been a minute, and I promise to do better! 🙂

Fall is my favorite season to dress, so I decided to keep a Style Diary again, starting October 1st.  Right after I decided to do this, Essence Magazine’s, Essence.com, posted a Street Style piece that I was featured in….making me feel like starting up Style Diary was a good idea. 

Street Style is a 3-part online series featuring Fashion Blogger Gabi Fresh ambushing fashionable folks right before New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

I can’t embed the video, so check it out below (just click).


Look out for my Fall Style Diary coming soon!
