The Branch sisters began their climb to success with the opening of their Brooklyn salon dedicated to curly hair in 1997, they later launched their product line, named for their grandmother, in 2004. The company quickly rose to fame with the new wave of natural hair enthusiasm. The brand traveled from their salon, to Target and now it can be found in Walmart and other drug stores. images

As a customer and business woman; I was beyond excited to find out that not only would the tour be stopping in Atlanta and even more excited that It was be hosted by one of my blogger boo’s Kiwi The Beauty. As soon as I knew the tickets were available I didn’t hesitate to get mine. However, when it was time for the event, I was unable to attend due to mommy duties.

 

Although I wanted to be there personally, I consider it a blessing to have someone that I can call and count on to represent my brand to the fullest. That someone was my little sister, Nadia Williams. She attended the event on my behalf and followed (almost) all of my instructions. LOL!!! She took good pictures, got my book signed and was dressed to impress with her dreads on fleek( I hate that phrase).

She is not as detailed as me and couldn’t tell me much about the actual interview but one thing that she remembered that touched me were the things that Miko said about her deceased sister and partner Titi Branch. She spoke of how they started the business together, went through hardships together and climbed the ladder of success together. With all of that Miko stated that she never imagined the brand being where it is and Titi not being alive to witness it.

That alone made me think about how vital relationships are and how I could spend more time with my own sister. I was glad that she and I were able to collaborate on this
and that she was able to bring that message back to me along with my book and products. LOL!!! So again I say thank you Nai-Nai and I love you for this and so much more!!!

This is not a post about fashion. This is a friendly reminder that the way you style your life determines how successful you are and the influence you offer the world. How you style your life connects you to your purpose and living your purpose draws you closer to God. Your style can’t be mimicked or  matched; it is a muscle only you can flex.

This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly th This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly the way I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I remember the day I planned to abort him. I damn near remember every moment that I have shared with him over the last 23 years and every moment I had with God on his behalf. As we prepare for yet another amazing moment, I am grateful. 

Grateful that God loved me enough to bless me with this joyful black boy. Grateful that he was patient as I grew from girl to woman while being his mother. Grateful that he inspired me to push past every roadblock placed in my path. 

@youknowitszaydoe, I am so proud of you and I love you far beyond any words, actions, or material items, black man. I once called you sun because you shined like one but truthfully you out shine the sun, son. i pray that you receive and cherish every good and perfect thing God has for you. I pray you continue to pursue your purpose with passion. Most of all I pray that and abundance of love and light surround you and that despite life challenges you never cower in the face of adversity.
