A Tale of Two Birds

Recently I saw two cardinals. A male and female and I was awestruck.  Not because I saw the cardinal, although, seeing one should be a gleeful reminder of the miracles in the world around us, but I was awestruck because it was the first time I'd ever seen a pair...together!

I believe God uses the sight of this particular bird to communicate with me.  It began our way of communicating years ago, so when I see one, it's not out of the ordinary, rather, it's quite ordinary for me.  It's my constant reminder of goodness, mercy and favor available to me at any given moment.  But this time...seeing the cardinal "partnered" I wasn't sure what it meant, all I know is that it signified something BIG, something meaning 'double!' It has to!

It was quite significant since I was leaving a meeting that was a pretty big deal with a woman by my side, who by all accounts, is a pretty big deal. So I KNEW it meant something very meaningful.  I was stuck in 'awe' for at least 5 minutes that seemed like 10 or 15 because those birds paraded themselves so gloriously allowing my business acquaintance and I to experience their presence and remark how unusual it was to find them in such an odd place.  We both acknowledged the significance of the moment and claimed it as evidence of BIG things and "Double" victories to come! Stay tuned (Big Smile!)

So in the spirit of "Big" and "Double", I share with you the great accomplishments of our client, Mrs. Linda Cox, an author and humanitarian who's been given her fair share of goodness, mercy and favor - and RIGHTFULLY so!
Author & Humanitarian, Linda Cox



Linda is the author of the children's book They Had to Run, which tells the real-life story of her Rwandan friends Simon and Kedress Nizramakenga.  Having had to escape the early rumblings as orphans of what became known as the Rwandan Genocide, Simon and Kedress returned to their native land as adults helping to build restoration in Rwanda and their partnership with Linda, her family and friends, they created the nonprofit organization, One Hundred Days, which is dedicated to helping to rebuild Rwanda, namely, through the construction of the first pediatric hospital in that region.

We are grateful to all of the wonderful media partnerships they have garnered the past couple of months and wish to share their accomplishments with you.

Power to the PINK in SheEO!!

In this installment, we salute the "pink" in the boardroom as well as the "pink" in power and healing against any ill forms of dis-ease resulting in cancers, such as breast cancer supporting "Breast Cancer Awareness Month".

Living an Inspired & Purposeful Life

Everything in life has purpose.  Yes, it's true...everything in life has purpose. The flowers that bloom in the garden, the caterpillar that humps slowly along, the client from hell and yes, even that self-centered friend that irks your LAST nerve! If you look past it's momentary beauty (or unpleasantness), it's oddity and even the pain and really look with the Eyes of Wisdom, you will see and appreciate the purpose it has for showing up for you.

Since I was in my early 20's, I was always on a quest for "What Am I Here For?" and by golly, I am so thankful to 'seek and ye shall find'.  Every time I think I 'have arrived', I realize there's more than meets the eye AND more to come - how exciting!!

With that, I had such an amazing and inspiring week! I was given the privilege of being invited to the Brazilian Chamber of Commerce as they celebrated the Brazil Fest. It was really amazing, VIPs of the city and from the country of Brazil including the Consulate General of Brazil were in attendance and everything from the 2014 World Cup and its opportunities, the 2016 Olympics and increasing tourism to the beautiful state of Bahia, Brazil where Salavdor is located were items of discussion. (Forget what you heard about Rio de Janiero, there's a new destination in town!)


Bahia, Brazil
As I sat there, I recalled the many years of declaring international opportunities for business and myself and here it had arrived! That was followed by introductions, follow-up meetings and then brunch with one of the VIPs on Sunday (when a mtg is scheduled on a Sunday, that's when you KNOW it's the real deal) to solidify what our agency offers and how we truly are an ally to the marketing plans scheduled for all the great opportunities surrounding this great country. I learned SO MUCH this week from history, culture (my own) to just pure gratitude and understanding that my belief in myself and my purpose is unfolding quite beautifully.


That was followed by a wonderful panel discussion held at Spelman College by Friday Girl TV's "Talk Back Series", The Sex Kitten vs. The Super Brain: A Panel Discussion of African American Women in Media The panel included:



October Rose & Ashia Sims of Friday Girl TV (Girl Genius Productions) did an amazing job putting this together. The panelists did an amazing job of offering great perspective being in media and solutions and ways they are making a difference and provided the young college students ways they can affect some great change just by knowing they too are powerful and purposeful in who they already are! The young ladies were inspired and left motivated knowing they can change anything they don't like or want to make better in the media or in their respective calling.  It was wonderful!

Just being in the Cosby Auditorium, named in honor of Bill Cosby's wife Camille Cosby, was a reminder of the blessed life I am living. Although I didn't have the opportunity to attend Spelman (and I wanted to, really I wanted to attend Clark-Atlanta), I have been blessed to have access to all these wonderfully historic HBCUs since I made the trek to Atlanta almost 5 years ago. I still pinch myself at times to live this wonderful life as it unfolds before my very eyes. I say often, "Who would've thunk it?!"....


As I venture into another week of uncertainties, I know it only holds the best of the greatest possibilities that are limitless and full of purpose. And I know that all that I encounter, people, places, things and sit-che-a-tions (LOL), are purposed for my good!


Enjoy the pics, more will be posted soon and let this inspire you to KNOW your life has tremendous purpose and positive power!

All About The Parties!

I think I got my sexy back, no I'm SURE I've got my sexy back! Let's just say we've been getting it in like we were 25 again, well at least I was and that was NOT the business! Getting home at 5am and taking 5 hours to recover is NOT cute, although it was fun though! :)


We kicked off the mid-week with the fabulous Renee Knorr, model, mentor and fashion and beauty director of the 19th Hole Magazine at the LuXe Lifestyle series at Aurum Lounge. This month's  LuXe Lifestyle honored those in fashion, photography and entertainment.  Among the honorees was Lil G from the R&B Group, Silk, Celebrity Photographer & Film Producer Leo Marshall, HGTV's "Design Wars" star Michael Habachy and Atlanta native Rafael Cox who was cast for Season 9 of Project Runway. Aurum is very beautiful - definitely a night for those who love living the glamorous life and a great spot for tourists and visitors! Next month the LuXe Lifestyle partners Renee Knorr and Andre Hill of AH Entertainment will do it again, so stay tuned!


Here are a few shots for you:

You can check the pics by visiting our Facebook page.

Friday night was the grand opening of radio personality, Frank Ski of the Frank & Wanda Morning Show, new restaurant, Frank Ski's.  The atmosphere was very chic, upscale and lots of people attended.  Ski treated everyone to fish tacos and chicken skewers and an open bar the first two hours of the night. Flossin' eh? Enjoyed it! :)  Check out the review and pictures on Word of Mouth's Tara's blog!


And we kept it going until Sunday with the kick-off of the Falcon's first home game against Michael Vick...I mean the Eagles.  Jersey Girl Sports hosted their football 101 for women, 1st & Flirty. Talk about FUN TIMES!  Brandi & Karli Harvey of Young, Fit & Fly and the dynamic twins of radio personality, bestselling author and media conglomerate, Steve Harvey, co-hosted and let me tell you, comedy runs in the family!  We had tons of fun - the women and men enjoyed themselves and we even had a surprise visit from relationship expert, Dr. Alduan Tartt who's in the October issue of Essence Magazine giving us some relationship wisdom. Oh, it was soooo much fun, he wasn't ready for all the touchdowns the women gave connecting relationships to sports - #FlagonThePlay Dr. :)

Happy! Happy! Joy! JOY

Oh boy, it's been a thrilling ride since I returned from my mini-vacay to the mountains for my birthday. I must do a blog just on the JOYful time I had! Don't worry, that's coming!

Upon driving back to Atlanta in dreary but perfect mountain-getaway weather, I immediately came back to cleaning out the inbox, returning phone calls, attending meetings, pitching, writing press releases, strategy meetings and fashion events! Gotta love my life (smug).

Speaking of the fashion events - the Betsey Johnson fashion show on the 6th was fierce!  Our client, Model and Fashion Beauty Director for the 19th Hole Magazine, Renee Knorr co-hosted the event with the lovely Suchita Vadlamani formerly of Good Day Atlanta.  I want to personally thank the fab Nikka Shea of Oh! Nikka and Alicia Edwards, fashion/style blogger for their write-ups.

On September 8th, client One Hundred Days with Author/Humanitarian Linda Cox debuted Market Rwanda at the pop-up shop in Atlantic Station and boy were they impressive!  I literally walked in with my mouth dropped open in ooooooooo's and ahhhhhhh's. Congratulations to the fabulous team at One Hundred Days, Susan & David S., Kelli & Scott S., Jim C., and former Miss America, Kirsten Haglund. What professionals!!

Market Rwanda made quite a splash at the pop-up event and started making sales even before the party officially started. Gotta be those chunky beads, or maybe it's the colorful bags or the rings or earrings?  I don't know, it's all gorgeous!  Enjoy some of the pics below and read the blog over at OHD for more commentary.

What a week, but it's been so happy and joyful and I'm so thankful to all the people and events I'm connected  to that made it all possible! (((HUGS)))

We're ready for shopping!

Happy September Everyone!

We LOVE Fall and not just because it's just simply beautiful, but because....well, it's Just Simply Beautiful!!!  Autumn has a way of using the changing colors of leaves to get us into reflection as the hibernation of Winter prepares to make it's arrival.

While Summer was definitely HOT here in Atlanta and in our agency - we had record-breaking media accomplishments during Summer, thanks to the fabulous brands we have the opportunity to work alongside.

Jersey Girl Sports, continue to trend as the #1 online website for women who love sports.  Charleston media rolled out the red carpet for Strikes & Stilettos, their baseball 101 for women!  Shouts out to the crew at Z.93 FM - Tessa & Baby J and of course the beautiful Laura Harris for Low Country Live. Atlanta always show us love from Sam Crenshaw at WXIA to CBS Better Mornings and Good Day Atlanta.  Now the ladies are in Miami to kick-off "1st & Flirty" with Black Enterprise for their football 101 and will make a TOUCHDOWN here in Atlanta with the Harvey Twins on September 18th.  BE THERE!


Yours Truly is celebrating my birthday on September 6 and what better way to party than with a fashion show presented by Betsey Johnson at the W. Hotel in Buckhead. Talk about HAUTE!!! Model and Fashion & Beauty Director of THE 19TH HOLE MAGAZINE, Renee Knorr along with former Good Day Atlanta host, the beautiful, Suchita Vadlamani are hosts for this fabulous event.  All I gotta say is "If you're NOT there then you MUST be a Square!!"  LOL!  Tickets are only $10 before the event and pre and after parties are for all to enjoy!



Also One Hundred Days and Author/Humanitarian, Linda Cox continue to trek through Atlanta on an international treasure hunt to Rwanda with MARKET RWANDA! In July, MARKET RWANDA debuted its beautiful handmade collection of jewelry and home decor at Emerging Art Scene Gallery in Castleberry Hill to a media wave and will be launching into September at the HAUTEST fashion event in the city celebrating Fashion's Night Out with Modern Luxury at SHOP ATLANTA. The VIP reception promises to be exactly what we're hoping for! MARKET RWANDA is a beautiful collection of handmade jewelry and home decor from Rwanda courtesy of One Hundred Days whose mission is to help build restoration in Rwanda. The shopping experience will be going on all weekend from September 9 - September 11. Stop by and say "Hi!"

Pageant's & Swim Suits & Skirt!'s OH MY!

What a dynamic week! We kicked it off at the site of a beautiful river front coffee house with Author & Humanitarian Linda Cox of They Had to Run and Grammy-aspiring musician Salakida to talk about a wonderful collaboration that will yield support all over the place!  I look forward to the manifestation - the location in and of itself breeds all kinds of creativity!

We also celebrated the emancipation of one client's legal nightmare that has worked out in their favor and now we're kicking off with a relaunch of a new company.  Now we just have to get that logo and website done since we have our well-connected spokeswoman in place who's going to help us take things to the NEXT level but I can't forget the major wins I've had that has everything to do with beauty pageants, magic and the power of a woman's feminineness!

Yours Truly finally got the APPROVAL I've been waiting on all my writing life from a well-beloved magazine - SKIRT!  I am now one of their "Skirt-setters" or bloggers and I'm very excited and feel very accomplished.  I believe in the brand this magazine has built as a strong voice that supports and screams FEMININITY.  Very honored, so make sure to keep up with me in the land of the Skirt!'s where women rule!

I was also referred by the gorgeous and inspiring Ms. Renee Knorr, Fashion & Beauty Director of THE 19TH HOLE MAGAZINE to be the PR Agency of Record for the 2011 Miss Georgia Latina and Miss Teen Georgia Latina Pageant that took place on Saturday at Americas Mart in downtown Atlanta. Talking about honored!!!  Wow, I am still riding high and thankful to be connected to the right people at the right time and for me, just being in the 'right' place mentally and spiritually - that matters!

Miss Georgia Latina Contestants - My FAVE was Miss Haiti Latina (In Electric Blue) she was STUNNING!

And The Beat Goes On....

Wow, life right now feels like a nice mix of the kind of excitement you get when you strap on your seatbelt in anticipation of a roller coaster ride that's sure to give you a range of emotions from exhilaration to trepidation, fear and relief - a beautiful mess! Guess what, I love it! It means, I'M ALIVE!  (giggles).

Well, there's much to share as our clients are LIVING and BREATHING their PASSIONS for serving others and sharing their natural God-given talents with the world! Very exciting watching these brand-makers SOAR!

Parenting Expert, Dr. Bisa
Thursday was such a day of celebration with our Parenting Expert, Dr. Bisa's debut on Essence.com (courtesy of Blogger Extraordinaire, Afrobella)! Congrats Dr. Bisa!  She looked so beautiful in her "Natural Hair" story, Essence.com's line up of natural hair stories featuring beautiful, dynamic and inspiring women!  Then the weekend continued with client, Renee Knorr at a power meeting with other magnificent women as we discussed the latest in celebrity golf, fashion and lifestyle. Quite exciting as we 'name-dropped' celebs you'd only see on Oprah's couch - OW! Then it was on to Matchmaker Ming Gregory of Color Blind International to prepare for NATIONAL!!!! (sighing here....A. Little. Bit. Stressed.)

Client, Tia R. Ervin of Milestone Occasions kicked-off her signature "Mom & Me" Bridal Luncheon at the Atlanta Marriott Buckhead with a nice and intimate crowd of mothers and daughters getting ready for the biggest day in their lives.  It was very beautiful, inviting and fun! Ms. Tia R. Ervin knows her stuff!  I understand why she was named The Knot's 2010 Wedding Planner of the Year and why Lifetime's Get Married featured her thrice! We were joined by Ms. Talking with Tami as our media guest, I think she had fun, check out her write-up.

Then it was off to the event of the night, courtesy of Art of Facts PR and Myliek where client Sakiri Vodka and Renee Knorr had the opportunity to be dreamy and dapper at the 'Wedding Soiree' held at the beautiful and swanky Ventanas in Downtown Atlanta - breathtaking view of the city!  It was a book signing with authors, celebrity wedding planners Gail & Hester.  It was SO CHIC! Renee was a very gorgeous Bride and her beautiful spirit was the icing on the cake!  Sakiri Vodka was the exclusive Vodka for the evening that had 3 bars - 2 downstairs (one rooftop) and one upstairs.  Myleik, GREAT JOB!

And then there goes that beat!  The fire bell rang n the form of my vibrating Blackberry way too many times and (oh so very loudly)! Then and I was in PR 'damage control' mode and OFF as I dashed from the fab soiree like Cinderella to rescue a client in need.  A. Day. In the Life.....Of....P....R.... Love it!
