Social Media: It Was Consuming Me, I Wasn’t Consuming It

JanetMichelle0 comment

As a blogger  finding a healthy dose of social media consumption was a must.  Social Media is a tool that I use in my  line of work, so to turn away from it completely was unrealistic- that is until I can afford to hire on a staff of amazing content specialist.  Social Media had become unappealing because I found myself reacting  and processing a lot of negativity.  I also noticed that I started sounding like a parrot and my original thoughts didn’t seem so well,  original. To find that balance,…

Build Your Own Brand Retreat: Where Dreams Are Realized

JanetMichelle0 comment

The Build Your Own Brand Retreat was amazing.  I came needing some tools to help me progress in my career as a blogger and owner of a digital medial company. I left with not only the tools I needed, but with meaningful connections as well. It was so empowering to  see and meet so many content creators that looked like me. We were all there grinding together and looking out for one another. I was going to initially only go as an attendant, until I noticed the invite for media.…

Taylor Gordon “The Pocket Queen” : Literally Marching To The Beat Of Her Own Drum

JanetMichelle0 comment

I was casually strolling on my timeline and noticed a young woman getting down on the drums, I’m talking about straight killing it. So me, being the inquisitive blogger that I am, clicked on her profile.   It was at that moment, that I entered into what I would describe as “rhythm heaven”.  I love live music. I appreciate skilled musicians that have truly mastered their craft. Ms. Taylor Gordon “The Pocket Queen” has done that. She is also a producer and writer. You have to check her out. If…

Women on the Way: A Holistic Approach to Servicing College Students

JanetMichelle0 comment

Women’s History Month has been fantastic indeed. I had the opportunity to speak and vend at several events hosted by Saint Petersburg College’s (SPC),  Women on the Way  (WOW). In fact, I want to take a moment to share with you just how awesome their support system is. Established in 1981 as a “mission and resource center for women”,  in its 37 years of existence WOW has grown mightly. “The effort was spearheaded by Dr. Vilma Zalupski, the college’s first female Provost (Clearwater Campus); Bobbie Hinson, Career Center Director; and…

Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time : A Movie That’s Right On Time

JanetMichelle0 comment

<<NO SPOILERS>> This was the first movie that I  have ever jotted down notes while watching – seriously. Well, they were more like nuggets. My granddaughter and I watched “A Wrinkle in Time” over weekend and despite the reviews coming in, I actually enjoyed it.  Was it perfect, no; but what movie is?    A Wrinkle in Time, is right on time. Especially as it relates to how young black girls and women view themselves in  society. I asked my granddaughter which character did she like the best and she…

Empowerment: A Word That Will Never Be Cliche For Me

JanetMichelle0 comment

The word empowerment will never be cliche for me because it embodies sooo much.   My week ended so beautifully. I must work on my timing though. I started a 7 seven day cleanse and two of those seven days I had speaking engagements. Note to self, don’t do that ish again! Trying to speak through the bubble guts ain’t the business. Any who, I had a very busy, but productive week. My highlights include the I Am Royalty Teen Summit, Women’s Empowerment Brunch, and a nice family get together…

JanetMichelle0 comment

Alright, so the weekend is over with and it’s back to that weekday grind!  I hope you enjoyed your weekend because I know I did.  Marcela Paschal of Elite Visions hosted the Inaugural  AWIA’s Women Empowerment Cruise.  If I had to sum up the entire event with one statement that statement would be,  authentic women – building authentic bonds. I wouldn’t have it any other way. We supported one another in business endeavors and had some great moments of transparency.  During our speakers session Rachael “The Credit Lady”  dropped some…

Focused and Fearless Brunch: Unity, Love, Support and Accountability

JanetMichelle2 Comments

The Focused and Fearless Brunch was a great success. I never thought that I would gain lessons from planning one though. Two weeks prior to the event, Hurricane Irma appeared.  My family and I decided to evacuate from the storm.  I debated on changing the date of the event or canceling it all together. Thankfully a little sense of normalcy returned and the event went on as scheduled. Furthermore, one of the greatest lesson that stood out to me was to always have a back-up plan.  Things will go wrong,…
