There has been sooo so SO much being put in! I just want to thank God! I got a email this afternoon that my ads are ready to go starting TOMORROW!!! I’ve been wanting to this bus ad for yrs! THIS was DEFINITELY the PERFECT time for its BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!!!! I don’t know the actual route number they will be on, but it’s bus 1128 and 1130! Be on the look out! This is such a blessing! I’m truly, truly honored, thankful, and HUMBLED! I have to thank everyone involved in this EPIC shoot, website, etc.,

Diane Jacobs-Smith (Mom I love and thank you so so SO VERY MUCH)! You’re the reason! YOU made me! Thank you for raising me in this industry!

My big cousin, Vernon Eugene Garel for being the very first head in 99’ (my freshman year in HS) for popping up at my house on Spring break telling me I’m about learn how to put some locs in his head! It was love at first twist! Mom my later taught me how to do it the right way. The rest is history. Love y’all. Thank you?
