Black Fashion Week USA Pop Up Shop and Fashion Show!

Hi guys!

I hope you're doing great! I am here to let you know about the absolutely fabulous time that I had at Black Fashion Week USA's pop up shop and fashion show! I had the honor of attending as press and covering the on camera interviews of all of the vendors that were present, those will be surfacing on the Black Fashion Week USA social medai very soon. So, be sure to foollow them so that you can stay updated! So, there goes a huge thank you to Miss Melody Boykin, the CEO, and Miss Felica Apprey who invited me.

Where do I start? The fashion was flawless. The outfit that I was gifted was desined by none other than Miss Jazell Smith of Blklst, who was just on The Africa International House television show which will be linked below as well as my previous blog spot about her. So, thank you to her as well! All of the vendors shared such lovely attitudes and I enjoyed getting to interview each and every one of them! It is certainly inspiring to me that I was able to connect with so many well established personel in the fashion, beauty and media industries! They all had great experiences and awesome advice for future entrepreneurs. Be sure to check them out below, I have them all linked. Oh! And the food was mighty delicious, the caterer was phenomenal and is certainly someone that you would need to cover your event! From the drinks to the desserts to the appetizers, it was certainly scrumptious!

I was able to meet some pretty awesome individuals as well! I got a chance to meet my social media friend Venice Averyheart, who is a beautiful actres, dancer and model. Also, I met a volunteer Antoinette Tidwell who was very sweet and seemed extremely passionate about helping for the event. This won't be the last you see f her. I will likely ask her to help assist me at some of my future events!
Lastly, I was able to meet Travon of TC Photography who was my videographer and one of my photographers. He did a great job! Check him out on his social media. All links will be down below.

In closing, I would like to again thank every single person there for the great experience that I recieved. It was very welcoming being in such a supportive environment. I look forward to the future events with Black Fashion Week USA!

About Me

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Calynn, 20x Award Winning businesswoman, media personality and former pageant queen (Miss United States Universe Tourism 2021, Miss World America Nation 2020). I started this blog when I was barely 15 years old in January 2011 as a supplement to my application to the retail business internship at the downtown Chicago Nordstrom mall! I stayed there for 3 years learning the fundamentals of everything fashion business from sales and marketing to media and modeling. This was a phenomenal foundation to my career as it gave me the rudimentary knowledge and competitive edge that I needed to be successful!  From there, I went on to college and obtained my first degree in Business and Humanities (the arts and social sciences). I wrote as a freelance journalist and editor for several large publications and hosted live cable television for two years. I walked countless red carpets being a VIP media guest at major industry events all over the country a

 Hi guys! I hope you've been well :) Thanks for coming back to my blog to see my latest adventures in life. In true Calynn fashion, it's been a while since I've last posted. However, I certainly have no shortage of fun events to share with you all since my last diary entry/blog article. The Living My Best Life Tour continues. Let's get into it!  8 Day Caribbean Adventure on Celebrity Cruises View this post on Instagram A post shared by Calynn M. Lawrence, MSML (@calynnmlawrence) My mom, baby sister and I were blessed to go on a super fun, 8-day Caribbean cruise that was action packed with tons of fun excursions, great drinks, live entertainment and beautiful beaches. This was all of our first cruise and it was a phenomenal experience aside from being absolutely WIPED by the end of it. We got to visit Puerto Rico, the US virgin Islands, St. Kitts and Neives, St .Lucia, St. Johns, Barbados, St. Thomas and more! Below is my favorite photo from the vac

38 Underrepresented World Wide Talents That You Need to Know!

In a world where so many great entrepreneurs and artists can become famous at the act of one viral video online, it's easy to get lost in the misconception that with social media's "power," anybody who is talented is already known. After all, it isn't as difficult to gain exposure and "get big" as it was 20 years ago before the Internet's Massive Media takeover, right? Partially yes, however, social media also makes the market 10x as saturated as it was 20 years ago. Thus, are you really that much further ahead if all of your competition has the means to one-up you, free of cost and inconvenience, just by posting to their online accounts? It's a lot to think about. That is why we here at The Fresh Faces Project work hard to make sure that the artists and entrepreneurs and do-gooders who are underrepresented and don't get the fame and acknowledgment that their talents merit are given a platform. That platform is us. When creating thi
