CheMinistry - Celebrity Relationship Panel

Everyone knows I love to host a great event. For some reason the most awesome opportunities just fall into my lap. The CheMinistry Celebrity Relationship Panel was one of these events. This event is brought to you by Chanel Scott, Queen of Relationship Talk.  I always love to hear the advice of single and married Celebrities. It’s always good to get a different point of view.

The event was held at The League Tavern in Midtown Atlanta. When I arrived I was able to take some amazing photos on the green carpet. The setting included vendors, food, drink, and DJ Hershey on the 1’s and 2’s. The ambiance was great. The tables had roses on them that went well with the theme. The panelist included Q from 112 and his wife Sharlinda Parker, actor from The Quad Kevin Savage, Empowerment coach Dr. Sonja, creator of the movie Dating in Atlanta, Jevon Dewand, Nakeisha Turk from TV show Kicking and Screaming, and founder of The Perfect Gentlemen Berto Horne.

The topic for the evening was “Committed Relationships: What does that really mean? All of the panelists were kind and honest with their opinions. I would say the over consensus was you have to be ready to be in committed relationship and people should be honest with themselves and whoever they are dealing with about where they are and what they want.  I am looking forward to the next event.

Women On Air Networking Brunch

It is always a pleasure to be around likeminded women who are trying to be better and do better. I had the pleasure of attending the first or many Women On Air networking brunch, brought to you by Diamond Tyleir. The panelist where extremely impressive, featuring Lori Flowers from Radio One, Jazzy McBee from Streetz 94.5, Tyisha Fernandes from Chanel 2 News, and Meteorologist Liana Brackett from the weather channel.

The event was located at a private location that required a prior RSVP. The setting was beautiful and the seating allowed for the women to truly get to know one another. As the guest began to arrive I was able to hand out my business cards and introduce myself to everyone before the event began. I always like to get a head start on networking (wink).

Most of the panelists were in attendance before I arrived. I had the pleasure of meeting Lori Flowers and Liana Brackett first. Both women were full of life and very approachable. I made sure to let them know that I was available to assist them with any projects they have coming up and I would love to keep in touch. Both ladies were very receptive.

The panelist style was the best that I have seen. Each lady was able to speak freely and tell their journey into media, radio, or television. This allowed the women to speak candidly without being steered into one direction or another. It worked well for the intimate setting we were in. Each panelist allowed the crowd to ask questions. Food was served at each table and it was delicious. The event concluded with photo ops and networking, ON TIME.

#BuyBackTheBlock - Tulsa Real Estate Fund Press Conference

On the 96th Anniversary of the Tulsa Bombing in Oklahoma, Girl Power Hour Radio was present at the public announcement of the Tusla Real Estate Fund at The Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, Ga. The press conference was a complete success! It was extremely informative and inspiring.

The Tulsa Real Estate fund is an economic vehicle for the urban community to collectively invest in and rebuild our neighborhoods. Speakers such as Atlanta City Council Ivory Young, Comedian DC Young Fly, Roddy White of the Roddy White Keep the Faith Foundation, shared the panel with creator Mr. Jay Morrison. Actress and poet Ernestine Johnson moderated the press conference. 

The Tulsa Real Estate Fund is the first of many opportunities to reshape our communities and stop Gentrification. It is a government regulated $50 million dollar fund financing urban development around the world. The crowd-funding vehicle allows for people to contribute as low as $500 into the fund. This will allow everyone you invest to have equity interest in every project. The Tulsa Real Estate Fund is scheduled to launch in August 2017.

United Women in White

There is nothing more powerful then women uniting together and motivating one another. That was the experience at the 2017 United Women in White event presented by Uniquely Niyia. Held at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, the United Women in White was and elegant occasion featuring powerful speakers, vocalist, and vendors. 

This National women empowerment and healing movement is focused on personal growth and the value of a network. Featured motivational speakers included Keisha Green, Nicole K. Armstrong, and Real Talk Kim. One of the most memorable moments was Real Talk Kim’s opening. She stated, “When God created Adam, he created Adam because he wanted to. But when he created Eve, he created Eve because he had to. Because we bring forth life.” Her funny and empowering message was received with much love and appreciation.  There was also a power performance by vocalist Keyondra Lockett.

Girl Power Hour looks forward to the United Women in White event next year.

Mens Trends in the Hair Industry: 2016 Bronner Brothers Hair Show

Men hair products and styles are taking over the hair industry and it was evident at the 69th annual Bronner Brothers Hair Show in Atlanta, GA. Celebrity Barber Lisa S says “Men hair product have sold more than women products for this first time this year.” She and partner Ray J advertised his new hair and technology company HairTRONiks. HairTRONiks specializes in marketing and producing hair products such as Brandi’s new synthetic hair line Brakari hair, Lifestyle men’s healing oil, Sprush hair kit by Lisa S, and Prella Hair by Princess Love.

Half of the floor room featured barbers and mens hair products. What caught my attention most was the coloring the barbers were applying during their presentations. At the Anatomy of a Barber booth I spoke with professional Barber Fox out of Memphis Tennessee about hair coloring. Fox mention hair coloring is not a new thing, but is definitely improved and trending. “In the past we used a spray that would run down your face if you sweat too hard. Now we use sprays that are alcohol based to prevent running”, he stated. The newest product that is popular and in demand is hair fibers. Hair Fibers is human hair that is dusted on to strengthen the look of the hairline or any balding.
