Confidence, Style and Image In The Workplace

On November 9th, I was asked to speak at the Effective Communication Seminar Hosted by CRE Finance Council in New York City. Effective communication is translated to verbal and non verbal forms of speak. In my opinion, before entering any room, make sure you’re filled with a dose of confidence and self awareness and you’ll be able to dive into any topic that’s of importance to you.…

Flex Your Confidence Muscle

I’m now getting caught up from the last quarter of the year and still getting messages from people who weren’t able to attend my latest talk on body image and confidence but saw my Instagram post about the talk I gave at a school in Long Island, New York on the topic of body image and confidence.

I WALKED THE RUNWAY AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

I’m fashionably late thanking PLY APPAREL for having me part of their beautifully orchestrated New York Fashion Week February 2016 show. I wore two pieces that I wish I could have kept but sadly had to give back to the incredibly talented and loving duo Pamela and Lamarr. The show featured me of course but also had models of all shapes wearing styles that are current and will be relevant in your wardrobe for years to come.…
