As Told By Calynn M. Lawrence

Hi guys! Thanks again for reading! I hope you all are doing well:) Today, it is my absolute pleasure to inform you about a very important cause that I support. This fall I had the honor of attending the televised Fashion Arts of Humanity Fete Awards as media. I must say that my experience was grand. Everything was well worth the commute. So, a huge thank you to the Executive Director, Renita Garrett and all of her staff! You would think that my favorite part of the event would be the fact that I was gifted a $50 gift card that I thoroughly enjoyed. However, my favorite part was interracting with so many awesome talents. I got a chance to meet a phenomenal photographer who was nice enough to snap some shots of me. I got to meet a fierce fashion model, Deandrea Brown, who really touched my heart with her beauty both inside and out. And, I even got to briefly chat with the lead singer of the rock hard performance band, The Fox and The Hounds. You will be seeing them featured on the bl...

Hi guys! I am coming at you guys with a very special post that is dear to my heart. I was invited to attend the 40 Under 40 Young Women's Professionals' Awards this past fall and it was absolutely flooring! I was touched by the environment so heavily saturated with so many sassy, successful, smart, scrintillating Sisters. A huge thank you goes out to the staff for allowing my attendance! The awards show truly demonstrated the beauty in leadership. Not just the shallow sense of beauty, meaning the benefits that come from being a leader, but to a cavernous degree that relates to the dominoe effect involved with just one skilled influencer. That was clearly portrayed by the number of countless women of varying ages with an innumerable amount of education, entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, creativity, unity and continuity. I could not have possibly related even more to the stories of some of them, facing life traumas, nonsupport from peers, automatic obstacles associated with no...

Hi guys!  Thanks again for reading! Today, I am coming at you guys with a different kind of Fresh Faces post. I had an inquiry from a lovely young woman who is apsiring to excel in the fashion industry and she prefers to tell her own story through her own words. Which is a great idea! She is looking for anyone who is connected in the fashion and beauty industry to offer her new opportunities so that she may get her foot in the door! She is open to both paid jobs and internships! Here's her letter: " Dear Calynn M Lawrence, I would love you to feature me on your blog for The Fresh Faces Project. I want to gain exposure and am seeking opportunities in fashion. I want you to relay my message to the public.  'Wow look at what she's wearing! That piece of art is something we thought was impossible.' That's what I like people to think of me and my designs. I'm  Rickkyra , and I am told that I am very unique and creative, like my name. I'm the gir...

Hi guys! Thanks for reading as always! I had to write this post today in order to let you guys hear about my joyous experience at the New Found Voice Trunk Show! Thank you to them for allowing my attendance! Despite me only being able to stay for the first portion, I can say that the event was very nice. There was free food and drink with tons of awesome NFV merchandise up for sale. The music was beyond lit, I must add. And the people were amazing. I got to meet the entire family behind such an awesome company and each member, children, teen or adult were all so nice to speak with. Might I add that they are Fresh Face supporters who purchased my newly released book linked below! Here's a little bit more about New Found Voice and its mission so that you can understand why I support their brand and what they're doing: "New Found Voice™ Entertainment is a group of people who use varying social programs along with music, art, & fashion with the aim of bettering the c...

Hey you guys! Thanks for reading! I am coming at you guys with my awesome experience of getting to visit the amazing California for the first time, as well as being on one of the greatest female talk shows ever! I was priviledged to be welcomed as a guest on the Brandee J & Kristy show in San Diego, Cali back in the fall! When I tell you it was the best experience ever, I'm not kidding! Although I myself am a television host, it's a completely different experience when you are in front of the camera as a guest. They made sure to make me feel at home and comfortable with them enough to fully express myself and just be me! For that, I am truly grateful. The fact that they were so genuine and transparent is a relief to find in an industry that is full of smoke and mirrors! Here's a little bit more about their story: Brandee J and Kristy Salazar are two hard working women, both with families, who continue to strive for greatness in the media industry. Both of them stemm...
