There are truly not enough words to express how thankful I am for these two amazing young ladies who helped make Beauty & Braids Camp such a success.
From day one, they showed up with positive attitudes, willing hearts, and a genuine desire to help our girls have an unforgettable experience. They went above and beyond in every way—helping with activities, encouraging campers, assisting wherever needed, and serving as wonderful role models for our young ladies.
I am beyond grateful for the time, energy, patience, and love they poured into this camp. Their support allowed me to focus on teaching while knowing our girls were being encouraged, cared for, and uplifted. They never complained, never hesitated to help, and always stepped in when needed.
To these incredible young women, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please know that your hard work did not go unnoticed. I appreciate you more than words can express, and I am so thankful that God placed you on this journey with me. The impact you made on these girls will last far beyond these few days of camp.
Thank you for believing in the vision of Beauty & Braids Camp and for helping me pour into the next generation of young women. I am forever grateful for your support, your kindness, and your servant hearts.
Please help me celebrate these two beautiful young ladies. They were truly a blessing to me and to every girl who attended camp.
I love you ladies more then you know❤️❤️
What an incredible week at Beauty & Braids Summer Camp!
My heart is so full as I reflect on the amazing young ladies who participated in this year’s camp. Every single student did an outstanding job and reminded me why I love what I do.
Throughout the week, I watched each girl shine in her own unique way. There were moments when learning new techniques felt challenging, but what impressed me most was that they never gave up. They pushed through, encouraged one another, and continued to grow with confidence and determination.
This camp was about so much more than braiding. It was about building confidence, embracing inner beauty, learning new skills, and creating a safe space where young girls could believe in themselves. Watching them grow each day was truly a blessing.
Thank you to all of the parents for trusting me with your daughters and allowing me to be a small part of their journey. Your support means the world to me.
I am already looking forward to our next camp and future classes! Be on the lookout for what’s coming next because we have even more exciting opportunities, learning experiences, and fun planned.
The future is bright, and these young ladies proved that this week!

To my amazing clients and families,
Thank you for allowing me to service you and your beautiful children over the years. Your trust, support, and loyalty have meant more to me than words can express.
This decision has not been easy. Traveling from North Carolina to Chicago each month came with many sacrifices, but every trip was worth it. I truly loved creating beautiful styles and, most importantly, seeing the smiles on my little clients’ faces.
As I step into a new chapter and focus on new opportunities, I will no longer be able to continue my monthly trips to Chicago.
JUNE WILL BE MY FINAL CHICAGO SERVICE VISIT
Please know this is not goodbye. I will always cherish the relationships we’ve built and the memories we’ve shared.
Thank you for every appointment, every conversation, every referral, and every ounce of support you’ve given me throughout this journey.
STAY CONNECTED!
Follow Joli Tots and Teens for updates, announcements, and exciting things to come.
Thank you for rocking with me, growing with me, and trusting me with your crown.
❤️ With Love & Appreciation,
*Ms. Erica
