As Told By Calynn M. Lawrence

Hi guys! I hope all is well :) Thanks again for reading. The other day, I came across a very moving photography collection on Facebook and I just HAD to interview the artist. Her name is Shannon Dermody and she allowed us to ask her a few questions avo9ut her twist on fantasy culture and how it effects society today. "In my class we were assigned to create a 9 photo series. I have uploaded only 8 due to viewer purposes,but you can find it on my website ShannonDermodyphotography.com an it is now unlocked! My concept I created was to show awareness of problems that is going on in the world today.So I decided to use characters that are held in a very high manner to show real world problems that greatly impact todays society. " - Shannon Dermody **Check out her full project here (Trigger Warning): Click me! What made you create this project?  I created this project because it was originally a school assignment. I had to create a 9 photo series that all flowe...

Hello guys! I hope you all are doing well! Thanks again for reading ;) Today, I am sharing thanks and gratitude once again to Neiman Marcus for allowing me the honor of attending as a VIP guest to their CUSP fashion show and panel in early April. And as usual, they were quite impressive from the VIP goodie bags we recieved to the amazing outfit compositions that were strutted down the runway.

Those key talking points were included in the panel, however, they seemed to delve a little deeper into the relevance and authority of fashion, specifically large houses such as themselves and large designers, as well as how you can utilize fashion's power to better the community. This was very nice in my o...

Hello guys! I hope all is well. Thanks again for reading! Today, I am just informing you all of the amazing time that I had at Black Fashion Week 2017. I have been collaborating with them as Fresh Faces partners for quite some time now and every time I attend an event, they impress me even more. Needless to say, I am so grateful to Miss Felicia Apprey and Miss Melody Boykin for allowing me the honor to attend front row at the event.

 The pop sensation from Haiti met The Sunset Kings frontman at CDBaby’s DIY Music Conference in Chicago last September where they learned from industry staples such as music blogger and lifestylist Ari Herstand, rock photographer Becky Yee, and Patreon founder Jack Conte. David, Miu’s manager, says about The Sunset Kings, “There are plenty of musicians we met in Chicago, but what we like about The Sunset Kings is they are authentic.  They’re not trying to prove anything to anybody.” The budding partnership continued long-distance; while The Sunset Kings continue to embed themselves as active contributors to the Boston arts community with their release of “Rose-Tinted Raybans” ( https://youtu.be/aPW27UVX-yk ), Miu’s international career has grown steadily as crowds in Miami and New York City begin to match her audience in Port-au-Prince. Now Hear This Entertainment’s feature of Miu attributes her success not only to her work ethic and ambition but on the fact t...
