From Spring Receptions to Summer Travels!

It is finals week again. But that is not what I am going to blog about. I can imagine that you all know the stories of the countless hours of studying that goes into this period of the year- so I will spare you. Instead I will be talking about my favorite events of the spring semester... SPRING RECEPTIONS!

During the past month I have had the opportunity to meet some of you guys, and it has truly been an honor. I never knew that what started out as a simple blog entry would have a deep effect in others- not that I felt famous or anything, it's just nice to be recognized for my work.(I am such a dork)

Ladies and Gentlemen... the time has come to unveil my summer plans...This summer I will be traveling to Eastern Europe to produce a documentary film and some art videos. I am very excited about embarking on this journey- I have only been to Europe once... Spain and Gibraltar, but now I am going to explore a whole other region, one that doesn't get as much attention!

This Documentary film has some big names attached to it, One of which is my good friend Chelsi Smith, Miss Universe 1995. And another is Academy Award Nominated Actress, Margaret Avery from The Color Purple. My Documentary film mentor is my actually my former professor and Academy Award Winning Director/ Producer Paul Wagner. I am very excited to work with all these people... so it will be GRAND!

I am done releasing information... I will let your imagination linger...

Bahama Mama!

While trying to figure out my Quarter-Life Crisis I discovered there was no such thing in my life. I have taken the necessary steps to ensure a good future and have been working hard to establish myself as an Image Consultant. Lucky for me, I have done that while still in college! One of the aspects that really works in my favor is my degree in progress, Communication and Rhetorical Studies. Think about it, image consulting is all about instilling confidence in other individuals by guiding them to make the right choices about their personal appearance and forms of non-verbal communication. In our program we are taught the essentials of non-verbal communication and all about communication ideas. So where does this whole Bahama mama fiasco come in...RIGHT NOW!

This past weekend I was working on location in fabulous Nassau, Bahamas with one of my clients. Her name is Anastagia Pierre and she is competing for the title of Miss Bahamas 2010. Where do I come in? I am in charge of her wardrobe selection process, as well as the image she is supposed to convey as an aspiring titleholder. I also train her through the interview process, so that she can communicate effectively. This is where my degree comes into place... and CRS 181: Concepts and Perspectives in Communication Studies (Thank you Prof. Grimes). In this class (which I took Freshman year) I was taught all about the process of communicating and conveying ideas... and lucky for me I had the opportunity to pay it forward. My job as an image consultant for Anastagia really depends on the perspectives of communication... and I absolutely love it!

So while in the Bahamas I didn't go to the beach or to some fancy resort... instead I worked hard on developing my career and making connections that are worth while... never mix work with leisure, because there is a time for everything. However, one of my favorite hobbies is following beauty pageants, so than again... my work is fun! So you can only imagine... meeting Miss Universe was an awesome and fun experience, plus... as an image consultant, I get to go to all these fancy press parties and mix and mingle with the famous... LIFE IS GOOD!

I will always keep you guys posted.
