About (request update)

Current Whereabouts:

I am currently living, working and conducting business in Maryland. It is my goal to launch my company and be in full operation by the end of this year. I am riding on the train powered by not allowing my dream to become "A Dream Deffered"! I am aiming for becoming a World Renowned Fashion Design, who attempts to fight with world challenges through FASHION. Conducting business as NATIONAL SOCIETY OF SOUL. . . was born into a vintage fashion driven lifestyle; it is a natural gift given to me by God and my families closet of hand me downs. My clothing line is a representation of the past present, and the future. . .Beginning with my grandmother, who is the presence of old Hollywood with the satin gloves, fur coats, diamonds, pearls and red lip stick�next my mother and aunts, who are symbols of luxury businesswomen with the pencil skirts, A-line suits, capris, stilettos, accents of suede and leather, and big signature bags�which all leads to me and I am nothing short of a sophisticated, funky, vintage, old Hollywood Collaboration with my crocheted shorts, jumpers, dresses, skirts, bikinis and plenty more. And let�s not forget about one of my newest addition . . . �Soul Lady� accessories: earrings, hats, clutches, bags and more to come. . . .

Claim To Fame:

I am inspired--by the study of life. MY LIFE: Who? I am a business woman who happens to be a fashionista with the heart of an artist, mind of a scientist and soul of a God fearing black woman. As women we must take heed to our roles as Culture Barriers!!! What? Fashion is my business! Where? Any and everywhere is an opportunity for a thought to take form into a creation of a masterpiece. STAY TUNE!!! Why? I must use all of the gifts implanted in my life by God or else my life on Earth is in vain. �I am my own person!� -Ladybug

Most Memorable Moment:

At moments the universe has the ability to perform natural mysteries that simply take over one�s life seconds at a time, such as an ORANGE MOON. Have you ever wondered why the moon is more orange or yellow in color when it first rises at night? This effect is caused by the atmosphere of the earth. The reason for the orange color is due to the scattering of light by the atmosphere. When the moon is near the horizon, the moonlight must pass through much more atmosphere than when the moon is directly overhead. By the time the moonlight reaches your eyes, the blue, green, and purple pieces of visible light have been scattered away by air molecules. That's why you only see yellow, orange, or red. The moon can have an orange color at any time of the year. Sometimes the moon appears orange even when it's directly overhead. This occurs when there's a lot of dust, smoke, or pollution in the atmosphere. The size of those particles will determine the type of color you will see. Now, imagine throwing yourself into the equation; add a splash of bright color, a smile and Confidence only God can supply . . . and you have been soulfully introduced into the world of National Society of Soul. �Do everything with a creative flair...It will separate the mediocre from the BEST!� -Sis S.
