As Told By Calynn M. Lawrence

Hey guys! Today, we're gonna be interviewing this sweet and sassy nurse/beauty guru about some of her career choices ! I have been subscribed to her on YouTube for a little while now and wanted to give you guys the chance to meet her! Here she goes ;)  Bio  My name is Fatima. I am currently a master’s degree student in a family nurse practitioner program. I am also a Youtuber and social media influencer and love filming, photography, and just having girl talk. On my spare time, I enjoy traveling and spending time with friends. Fave thing about being an influencer?  Least fave thing? Favorite thing about being an influencer is definitely being able to connect with others and having the power to inspire people through sharing my own personal journey. Least favorite is probably the negativity that sometimes comes with it. Haters will be haters and not everyone will support what you do! Also, not being able to fully “disconnect” sometimes since social media has beco...

"Dear Readers, I am writing to you all to give you a little bit about me, Laurie, and why I started Image Photography . I am an art major with a knack for drawing. I have always liked doing pictures because it's like telling a story without words. I think my favorite thing about the photo industry is that there's always something new to look forward to there's always something new you can try. It lets me explore my artistic side. My goal is to be able to travel more and worry less. I want to focus more on maternity and newborn shoots. Because I'm a mother of 4 kids and a grandmother of 2 boys, I have a deep empathy for and interest in mothers and their babies. I donate my time to those who have lost a child or mothered a premie. I shoot them free of charge. I ,myself, lost two babies to SIDS and can understand their pain. This served as more inspiration for me shooting babies in the NICU was the fact that I lost my own children . On the side,I ...

Hi guys! I want to give a huge thank you to Josh, the Founder of Bona Fide Media, for giving me a complimntary photoshoot in exchange for this article on my blog. He is a very talented photographer, and I want to inform you guys about his various talents and services in video and photo. BIO My name is Josh Jones and I’m a Chicago based media creator. I grew up just outside of Columbus, Ohio and was obsessed with watching movies. My sister is the one who got me into them and one day we decided to make a video together when I was around 10 years old. It was a stupid little kung-fu movie, but after that I was hooked! I started making videos with my friends and for school projects, loving every minute of it. In High School I started getting real gigs and had some of my first jobs then. Since, I’ve been constantly making videos and taking pictures, both for fun and for pay. I’ve mostly worked under other people and was finding it hard to truly express the ideas I had. A lot of creati...

Hi guys! I hope you all are well and thank you so much for reading. Today, I have a blog post that is so long overdue. Thank you to Miss Barbara Ellzey for providing me the information on this lovely organization, Pearls For Girls. This is actually a subsidiary of the REACH Leadership Program for Girls.  REACH Leadership Program for Girls is a nonprofit organization that inspires all girls to excel academically, reach for their dreams, and to make positive life choices. This extension works to provide incentive an reward for academic excellence to young girls. As you know, I stand behind movements such as this because I truly do believe in girl power. There is so much potential in the female youth today that organizations like this should be incredibly commended. Just watching the video below is enough to move anybody to want to make a difference. Take 10 minutes of your time and check it out, to see how impactful a little push can be for young ladies today. For more information ...

Hi guys! I just don't even know what to say right now. I am so overjoyed writing this blog post just thinking about how amazing my experience was finally getting to see my two favorite country rock bands since I was a preteen perform live and in color last week! Having the priviledge of blogging their performance was beyond epic, beyond cinematic, beyond anything I can even fathom. You just would've had to be there...they were just that awesome. Thank you so much to both Nickelback and Daughtry for bringing to life the vision of you I had in my head for a decade of fandom, and allowing me to blog the experience! To give you an idea of just how badly I wanted to blog this concert, my play sister Ari and I drove 3 and a half hours to Indiana from Chicago, stayed in a super crappy motel, rocked out at the concert from 6 PM to 1 AM, got lost trying to grab food, returned to our crappy motel and slept for a couple hours then were right back on the road at 5 AM to return to our n...

Brick Malone Brick Malone is a custom and ready to wear designer brand based in Chicago, Illinois. Brick Malone caters to the confident woman, which represents the brands dedicating to personal service, custom fit, beautiful fashion and a spectacular look with a style that will complement her character and personality.

One Thing You Would Change About The Fashion Industry: I think there should be a more diverse and versatile industry that represents the real people of the world who actually buys today's fashion. People like to see themselves in what the fashion industry presents to the public. Goals: I want to see Brick Malone to be available in boutiques around the country.  I also want to do my share of reducin...
