Our Youth Our Future

As a Community Health Educator I have the joy of working with a diverse group of youth from various demographic, social and economic backgrounds.  I see day to day the impact our society has on our young people. Most teens crave attention and the desire to feel needed, yet they seek it from the wrong source.  As a young person you have to remember you are going through a period of transition and development often marked by risky behavior. My primary responsibility to these young people as a Community Health Educator is to give them the tools they need to reduce their risk of unintended pregnancy, STD and /or HIV, my responsibility as a role model is to listen, support their goals and guide their decision making process.

These young men represent just a few of the young people I have the pleasure of working with on a daily basis! I am so proud of them, each graduating from their prospective high school and moving on to pursue their goals.  All three are gentlemen, intelligent and ambitious. I couldn't ask for a better group!

I love going into a classroom of high school juniors and seniors to hear their ambitious goals and desires for their future.  Their optimism is refreshing and their eagerness is unrelenting.  For some, they can’t see themselves 5 years down the line let alone 10 years.  This frustrates me.  I see the potential in each and every one of my teens, unfortunately some do not.  Some people don’t take the time to actually listen to what they’re feeling, what they want and what they need. When supported appropriately, many of these young people learn from their experiences and successfully find their way through the often difficult and confusing path to adulthood. I want to take this time to encourage you (the reader) to involve yourself in a young person’s life.  Be their role-model, their cheerleader, their supporter in any way possible. Help to shape a positive perception on their future.  Not only will it make a difference in their life, but it will change your perspective and put a pep in your step.   

Beyonce is here in the ATL Tonight!....You have to see this!

Sooo its only appropriate I post our parody up again since this is the night Beyonce will grace ATL with her presence.  I was almost not about to go but deep down inside I was hoping someone somewhere had a ticket for me...and then it happened. My lovely dear and one of my best friends called me and said these words " I will take you to the Beyonce Concert tomorrow!"....I stopped breathing for a second, I don't know why but I  couldn't believe it. Just last night I had the pleasure of meeting her stylist @tytryone at The W in Buckhead and now I'm about to see my girl Bey!  Ty was so nice and down to Earth!

I told him about our Parody ( with Eight Piece Productions, my dear /best friend Chase Simmons) and that it was featured in the Huffington Post and Vibe Vixen. He said "I want to see it," of course I got super excited and hoped that he'll show Beyonce sometime today while she is preparing for her concert and magically she shows a clip during the show!!!!!......And then invites me backstage!!!! That would be great but I know its a little far fetched, but hey Ya Never Know. In the meantime please enjoy our parody !!!!!!!

The #RedLipSpecial

Wear Red!!!! I love a Red Lip, its sexy sophisticated and classic.  Red lips will never go out of style, however it can go wrong, if is its not accompanied by the right look.  When I wear red I like to keep it natural and simple. Takes notes from Rhianna and Bey. They keep it simple with a fresh face and a BOMB Red Lip.  You can do it too! Here I'll show you!

THE #MORNINGBEAT

Not everyone has 20 to 30 mins to add to their regular morning routine.  For most, it's challenging to get up, get ready, still have time for breakfast, let alone do your make up. It takes time to find the right rhythm to fit your schedule.  

 In this tutorial I'll give you my regular morning routine for a fresh, natural, glowy face you can make your own in less than 15 mins! Enjoy!
