One major thing I have learned here in the last quarter of 2018 is that CLARITY is KEY. A clouded mind is procrastination heaven. It’s is SO important to decompress, declutter, and then decipher what it is you really need to do and shoot for. A circle of people who have their hands in different…
Last week on Nov. 6th, 2018 many US citizens took to the polls to do their civic duty and cast their votes in the midterm elections. Also last week (and every time voting seasons come around) social media erupted in vicious debates between voters and non-voters. It felt like this debate turned friends into foes,…
“A BOSS is one who guarantees we gone eat.” – Rick Ross There’s always a lot of hustle talk about “plates”. Not complaining about our plates being full because we prayed for this. Others not eating off the plate if they don’t bring food to the table. So many epithets made around the subject.…
There are so many facets and different things needed to help establish a well rounded and self sustaining brand or business. The look, the demand, fundamentals, the FUNDING. Because of that last one, I am always very excited when I can help my clients develop a revenue stream that funds their dreams from WITHIN their…
The grind life is all about making moves and wearing your walking shoes. Sometimes that means leaving everything you’ve ever known and reestablishing yourself in a place where you may be able to truly grow. It can be scary, but change for the better is absolutely nothing to fear. The beautiful Mina Rose 🌹 has…
Congrats are in order for Triple Ess Client Karundo Langston, better known as Alter Shiino on his most current achievement of securing a showcase spot at the RAW: Natural Born Artist OVATION expo in Richmond, VA! The crazy thing is…this time last year (as the “on this day” feature on Facebook confirmed) Shiino posted that…
I’d like to give a big warm welcome to my newest client Mina Rose the Model! I have actually been working with this bubbly young lady for well over a year now and we just made the professional relationship official. She is beautiful, talented, giving, and I swear I can hear her voice…
I got the chance and privilege to attend my home girl Niyah Nel’s 2nd Annual EDL HipHop Festival this year. With well over 300 people in attendance, I can not EVEN begin to express how proud I am of this young lady. I’ve know her and watched her build up to this great platform since…
When your photographer client goes to shoot a fashion line…and creates some awesome art in the mix. On a recent trip to NYC, Alter Shiino linked up with his best friend and was able to produce some of the dopest work! The Big City meets #TheShiinoEffect and it was a match made in photography heaven.…
Nobody is going to hold your hand. Nobody is going to find your purpose for you. Nobody is going to help you until you help yourself. Nobody is going to work harder for your dream than you. Nobody is going to pat you on the back every time you make a good move. Nobody is…
There are not too many things as rewarding as witnessing the visions I have for myself and the people around me become real right before all of our eyes. I got to experience it (again lol) with Karundo, more popularly known as Newport News photographer Alter Shiino. On a Monday, we were made aware of…
We have made it halfway through 2018. Unbelievable how time can move so fast and feel so slow at the same time. New Years night we made a slew of promises to ourselves and I’m here to say that if you haven’t kept or met them yet…KEEP PUSHING. Don’t let anyone put you on THEIR…
Sometimes we have to change course in the middle of the journey. We think we know what we are doing, where we are going, and what we are looking for. But not always! I know I haven’t always been 100% sure about my moves. With risk comes lot of uncertainty. Dream chasing carries a lot of…
