10 may events Across the Gulf South (Texas to Florida)

BEALE STREET MUSIC FESTIVAL May 5-7, 2017 (www.memphisinmay.org)

The three-day Beale Street Music Festival is actually the kick-off event for Memphis in May, a month-long, multi-festival event that has been running for forty years and includes events like World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Great American River Run 5K and Half-Marathon. Though it’s not a blues festival per se, it would be impossible to ignore the rich musical heritage of BSMF’s setting. A former hangout of the likes of Louis Armstrong, Memphis Minnie, B.B. King, and Rufus Thomas, the blues tradition that grew up on Beale Street developed into a genre all its own, known fittingly as “Memphis Blues.” Numerous songs—such as “Beale Street Blues” by W.C. Handy and “Furry Sings the Blues” by Joni Mitchell—have name-dropped the location in their lyrics, making it only appropriate that a music festival be staged here.

Add in the iconic Mississippi River complete with passing steamboats as a real-life backdrop, and you’ve got a festival that’s rooted in history and full of some of the best contemporary music around.

DE A R E B O NY Relationship Advice

Hey Ebony, I’m in a real awkward situation. I have been with my girlfriend for over 5 years. We met right after college and have been in a productive relationship ever since. She is such a good woman. My family loves her and I see a good future with her. The only problem is her best friend. She is so sneaky and I get the worst vibe every time she comes around. On multiple occasions she has winked at me or tried to flirt in some way. She pushed my last button last week. We all went out and she stayed over. She was drunk and my girlfriend insisted she stay over. We put her on the couch and my girl jumped in the shower. While I was in the kitchen getting some food, she basically came up and tried to kiss me! I don’t know what to do. I’m afraid to tell me girlfriend because I don’t want her to flip the script and ruin our relationship. My friends think I should distance myself. Please Help! -T Omg T!!

Why didn’t you tell your girlfriend that she tried to kiss you THAT NIGHT?!?! I completely understand the fear of your girlfriend not believing you and it causing drama. But now you will definitely have drama because of the wait. Honesty is the best policy. Don’t wait another minute to tell your lady how uncomfortable her best friend makes you feel. Try to give details of actual situations. Also, I would ask you to honest with yourself. Have you ever flirted back and made her feel like this behavior was ok? Think on it! Your girlfriend deserves to know the truth. Sometimes friends are worse than enemies. If it comes to a place where she chooses a relationship with her girlfriend rather than you, move on with your head held high. You told the truth and that’s the best you can do! Please let me know how everything turns out.

Hi Ebony!

I have a quick question. I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost a year and I love him so much. He is loyal, hilarious, treats me like a princess, AND HAS A GOOD JOB. There’s only one problem…He refuses to spice up our sex life. He doesn’t like to try different positions. He only prefers to do missionary and ONLY at night and ONLY with the lights off. I AM SO BORED. I would never cheat but I’ve come to the point where I don’t really get excited about the idea of having sex with him. We’ve argued about it. What should I do? Should we just break up? Should I continue to try to expand his horizons?

-K. , Age 23 Dear K., I don’t want you to feel discouraged! There are women all across the country..the WORLD..that experience this situation. My first question would be to ask you HOW have you approached him with trying new things? Are you aggressive? If so, that might be why he feels a bit put off. Another suggestion would be to spark up a “dirty talk” conversation. Ask what fantasies he has or would like to try. Honestly, if that doesn’t work or he just really isn’t interested in meeting you halfway…you might need to break up. Nothing ruins relationships faster than the inability to compromise.

He just might not be the one. The man for you will be everything you need and will definitely be open minded! Also, you deserve to be sexually satisfied!

- GUNS & GIRLS -

Gun Ownership Among Women: A Closer Look into Women’s Opinions About Guns One of the statistics cited by these outlets refers to the number of women enrolled in gun safety training courses. In 2014, the National Rifle Association (NRA) reported that more than 13,000 women participated in over 450 NRA Women on Target Instructional Shooting Clinics. Their report shows that the numbers of participating women have increased within the past decade. There are two problems with this. First, drawing the conclusion that all women who take some kind of gun safety course are themselves gun owners is invalid, which our own informal poll confirmed (see below). Second, statistics reported by the NRA, the notoriously politically active lobbying arm of the gun industry, are inherently questionable.

Many national surveys and research on gun ownership focus on men due to tallying guns owned per household, rather than accounting for each individual. Interest in guns has historically been very much a boy’s club. As a result, the characteristics of women gun owners remains less clear than those of their male counterparts. Recent news media stories on the subject have assumed, among other things, that the main motivation for women purchasing guns is self-defense.

12% OF WOMEN OWN HANDGUNS In their recent survey, the Harvard Injury Control Research Center polled 5,000 people as individuals, rather than counting numbers of guns owned by the household. It found that 12% of the women surveyed owned a gun. Among the total women polled, 20% perceived that owning a gun makes a home safer. Fifty-six percent of gun-owning women polled feel that having a gun at home creates a safer environment. This relatively small sample size is prone to bias, but the numbers are still telling.

The unavoidable discussion relating to gun ownership leads to the very real problem of gun violence in America. Two years after the Sandy Hook shooting in December, 2012, the Pew Research Center reported a shift in favor of gun control.

Even after the numerous horrific gun massacres leading up to it, it looked like the news of elementary school children being murdered randomly and in cold blood finally saw Americans willing to rethink gun-control laws. These efforts stalled out in congress however, and eventually people went back to business as usual. There of course have been numerous random acts of gun violence since, and the shock of Sandy Hook has only served to numb the pain each one brings. Indeed, many Americans claim to want a reduction in gun violence, but not necessarily more stringent gun control laws. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

There are numbers available on guns that do stand up to scrutiny. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 93 Americans are killed with guns per day. On average, 12,000 gun homicides occur each year in the US. Over the last five years more than 200 nonfatal firearm injuries occurred each day. So, there seems to be a disconnect between the efforts to normalize gun ownership, and the actual numbers of gun owners and the often devastating effects of gun violence. Even in the Harvard survey, 20% of women surveyed felt that gun ownership makes a home safer, which conversely means that 80% (i.e. the vast majority) of respondents did not.

The claim made by some media outlets that gun ownership among women is on the rise does not hold up under even moderate examination.

“I am not a [gun] owner but I do frequently visit the range. I am on the fence about getting one because they are extremely dangerous and once they are used it’s no turning back. The damage can be life changing or life ending. I don’t want to make a mistake I will regret.”

Of the Americans in support of stricter gun control measures, women want this more: a May, 2000 Gallup poll reported that 72% of women want stricter laws on gun sales versus the same preferences of 52% of the men surveyed. Background checks are a central mechanism utilized by the US for gun-control measures. Between 1994 and 2014, the Department of Justice conducted background checks on more than 180 million firearm applications and denied 2.82 million gun sales to prohibited people. It would seem that more applications need to be denied, because the vast majority of gun massacres have been carried out by people with no criminal records who own their guns legally.

#SOCIALIFE.US POLLED WOMEN ABOUT THEIR ATTITUDES TOWARD GUN OWNERSHIP. RESPONDENTS SHARED THEIR BELIEFS AND REASONS BOTH FOR AND AGAINST IT:

YIYI ELENA Photo by Scott Hebert

“I am looking to get my concealed/open carry license as well as own my own gun. I love to go to the shooting range. They can be extremely dangerous but I believe as long as you are taught proper gun safety and maintenance then you should be a responsible gun owner. Before I was allowed to shoot my first gun I had to learn how to clear it, take it apart, clean it, and reassemble it and I feel like that should go for every gun and everyone.”

- GIRLS & GUNS As you can see, women have a nuanced view on gun ownership. The issue of gun safety is at the forefront, especially as it relates to the possible presence of young children. It is an unfortunate fact that owning a gun dramatically increases the likelihood of being killed or injured by a gun, but this can be mitigated by educating yourself and your family.

For those interested in owning a gun, there are plenty of courses and educational classes that include NRA certified courses in pistol, rifle and personal protection: http://www.nssf.org/safety/basics/ https://www.handgunsafetycourse.com/ U RB A N IS T MAGA Z I N E

#STOPGUNVIOLENCE S OC IA L IFE S TYL E S & EV EN T S M AGA Z I N E

MAY 2017

THE COALITION TO STOP GUN VIOLENCE The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) is a 501(c)(4) organization that was founded in 1974. We seek to secure freedom from gun violence through research, strategic engagement and effective policy advocacy.

Our organizational structure is unique among national gun violence prevention organizations. CSGV is composed of 47 national organizations working to reduce gun violence. Our coalition members include religious organizations, child welfare advocates, public health professionals, and social justice organizations. This diversity of member organizations allows us to reach a wide variety of grassroots constituencies who share our vision of non-violence.

For too long, progress on life-saving gun reforms has been stalemated by legislative gridlock. Our politicians, intimidated by the political power of the National Rifle Association, have refused to act in the wake of tragedy after tragedy. CSGV has a three-part strategy to break this gridlock: 1) We are taking an aggressive approach with political advocacy. Our message to elected officials is simple: “The era of no accountability is over. If you do the NRA’s bidding and put our loved ones in the line of fire, we will educate your constituents about your record.” This strategy involves the use of social media campaigns and hard-hitting TV, radio and print ads.

2) We are building personal relationships with legislators and challenging them to become dedicated, long-term advocates for sensible gun laws. The victims and survivors of gun violence on our staff are the leaders in this lobbying effort.

We are also looking to facilitate the advocacy of state/local activists whenever and wherever we can.

3) We are the first gun violence prevention group to talk about the issue in terms of democratic values, and to use the term “insurrectionism” to describe the NRA’s treasonous interpretation of the Second Amendment. By exposing the hypocrisy of the NRA’s “freedom” message, we have reframed the debate and put them on the defensive.

CSGV’s guiding principle is simple. We believe that all Americans have a right to live in communities free from gun violence.

Serena Confirms she’s pregnant.

Serena Williams, the best women’s tennis player of this era and one of the world’s most prominent athletes, confirmed on WednesdayApril 19, that she was pregnant and expecting her first child later this year.

Williams, 35, has not played a match since winning her 23rd Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open on Jan. 28, when she was already close to two months pregnant.

More major titles will have to wait, if they happen at all. Williams will turn 36 in September, but her spokeswoman Kelly Bush Novak said that while Williams would miss the rest of the 2017 season, she intended to return to the circuit in 2018.

“Serena said that I should make sure if anyone asks that that is clear,” Bush Novak said in a telephone interview on Wednesday.

#SociaLIFE.us is proud to collaborate with talented industry professionals that enhance our brand and events. Check out this month’s featured team members as they discuss their purpose-driven passions in life.

Toi Henderson is a Team Lead and Brand Ambassador for #SociaLIFE.us. She talks about her experiences with modeling and transitioning into leadership roles. #SociaLIFE.us: Where are you from? How’d you become a Team Lead?

TH: I’m from Jackson, Mississippi and still live here. I was initially a Brand Ambassador with #SociaLIFE.us. There was an opportunity for me to take on added roles and I moved into the Team Leader position. We organize and communicate team plans. #SL: What did you like about serving as a Brand Ambassador? What types of skills are needed to be great at it?

TH: I like talking to people and networking. I enjoy letting people know about the ways of making money in this field. This role is a lot of fun. I participate in different promotions. To thrive in this position, a person needs to be attentive to details, have good communication skills and be creative. #SociaLIFE.us gives you a taste of the industry. #SL: Tell us how you got into modeling. When did you start?

TH: I got into modeling by default. When I was 17 my mom kicked me out. I learned that if you go to community college you can enroll in a GED program. You can take college courses and stay on campus. At that time, I wasn’t in school and had nowhere to go. So I decided to enroll at Hinds Community College. I majored in Clothing and Textiles. One of the courses was Modeling and Grooming. Before that, I never had done any type of modeling. I started doing freelance modeling. At school, I was elected President of my class. I kept striving. I earned two degrees. I am fully credentialed in Home Decor. #SL: What aspects do you like about modeling?

TH: My favorite types of modeling are for editorials and promotions. I just got into runway modeling within the past two years. I love taking pictures. #SL: Are there fashion models who inspire you?

TH: Chanel Iman. She’s edgy and I love her style. #SL: What advice would you give to fashion models that are this industry?

TH: All work ain’t good work. I’ve done a lot of different jobs. When I first started, I was just getting my feet wet. I took every opportunity presented to me because I wanted to grind. In the long run, not all of it benefitted me. Earlier on, I was doing a lot of lingerie and nude photoshoots. Once I got older, I realized how much I wanted to do editorial and commercial work. But I didn’t have any type of experience to get me in that door. My best advice for new models is to pay attention and do your research.

TOI HENDERSON

Team Lead & Model - Jackson, Ms. #SL: How does a model go about ensuring that a potential gig is safe?

TH: Step back and look at the whole picture. For the individuals you’ll be working with, reach out to others who’ve worked with those same people. Be sure to ask how the shoot went and how long it took. Look at the comments sections and research reviews on people. Check out the photographers beforehand to make sure it’s a safe space. #SL: You mentioned that your earlier work didn’t get you where you wanted to be, professionally. How did you overcome that and secure work that you preferred?

TH: I had to grind a little harder. Sometimes I had to spend extra money to get into experiences and gigs that would advance my portfolio. I started investing in myself. #SL: Describe your ideal job.

TH: Part of my dream job is to land an editorial spread in a prominent magazine. I have a few other projects in the works. #SL: What are some of your favorite quotes?

TH: I live by the idea of, ‘If it doesn't kill you, keep going’. I’ve been in the bottom in fashion shows and finally got cut the day before a show. But I returned to the same show the very next year, I auditioned and made the cut. I’m inspired to keep going.

JASON WALLACE IS A HAIRSTYLIST BASED IN TEXAS AND HAS GARNERED CLIENTELE ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. JASON’S APPROACH TO HAIRSTYLING AND PROFESSIONAL CUTS IS FRESH AND VERSATILE. HE TALKS ABOUT HIS CAREER AND EXPERIENCES IN THE HAIRCARE INDUSTRY WITH #SOCIALIFE.US. #SociaLife.us: What inspired your career path in cosmetology?

Jason Wallace: Styling hair was something that I’ve always wanted to do. Growing up, I thought it was always such a cool thing. Cosmetology was the one thing I tended toward. I absolutely love what I do. I studied Political Science, English and also Computer Information Systems. I studied at Morehouse during my undergrad years. At the time, I was trying to find my place in the world.

I tried corporate America and landed some jobs.

But I wasn’t happy. I decided to go to cosmetology school at Atlanta Tech and here we are today.

Since then I’ve expanded into doing makeup and photography as well. #SL: How long have you been styling hair?

JW: I’ve been styling hair for 13 years. For the past five years, I’ve lived and worked here in San Antonio. #SL: You’re from South Carolina, studied in Georgia and now live in Texas. What inspired you to relocate to San Antonio?

JW: I was looking for a change and wanted to try a new place. My Dad was living here at the time.

It took me two years to build up a solid clientele and advance to hairstyling on a full-time basis. I work at two locations.

JASON WALLACE HAIR STYLIST

#SL: You mentioned that you expanded into doing makeup and photography. How’d you begin working in these new areas for your clients?

JW: One of my mentors, Patrick Bradley does makeup and photography. During one of his classes that I attended he asked if there were any hairstylists in the room that also did makeup.

Only a couple raised their hands. Patrick told us that we were missing out on other streams of income. After that information, I decided to start taking makeup classes and learned from there.

As far as delving into photography, hairstylists like to have their work photographed. This helps build your portfolio. For a while, I found it expensive to hire a photographer who could create the whole looks that I wanted. I decided to buy a camera and learn the art of photography. I’ve done photoshoots where I do hair, makeup and also shoot.

SL: Describe your approach to creating signature styles for your clients.

JW: I look at the everyday woman and take care of her weekly needs, as far as styling. A lot of styles that you see on social media and television are highly popular and trending. Sometimes the styles I select are the ones that corporate women can wear. I try to incorporate pizzazz that is still conservative enough for the boardroom. I also try to cut hair into styles that are manageable and easy to maintain without my clients having to come to the salon all of the time. #SL: Tell us about the hairstylists that inspire you?

JW: One of my biggest inspirations as far as hairstyling is Ted Gibson out of New York. He has a lot of celebrity clients and does a lot of red carpet looks for awards shows. Another stylist I admire is Patrick Bradley in Texas. I’ve been following Patrick since I started my career in styling. He travels to Atlanta for a lot for hair shows. #SL: What have been some of your career highlights so far?

JW: I love fashion shows especially the one I did earlier this month. There was another one I did which was here in San Antonio. In Atlanta, I used to do a number of the local fashion shows. There was a bridal show that I did in San Antonio two years ago. That one also generated clients for weddings. #SL: Many artists connect with new clients and expand their reach through social media. What do the value of social media and branding mean to you?

JW: Social media can definitely play an important role in advancing your career moves. A lot of my clients post pics of my work. Once someone sees your quality work, they’ll inquire about it. Being able to post your own work is essential. Artists need good images as far as presenting their work to new audiences. Just about everyone a social media account these days. It’s certainly been good for me. #SL: What lessons have you learned about yourself regarding your work in cosmetology?

I learned not to be so critical of myself. I think anyone who has an artistic background is their own biggest critic. I still have my moments where I doubt the quality of my work. At the end of the end day, I have people that believe in me. I know that I’m doing something right. I also learned to be more of a social person because in this industry you have to be social in order to generate more business. One other important thing I’ve learned is in this industry you have your ups and downs. For example, sometimes when you’re going through a period where clientele is slow, you might not get as many bookings.

But keep at it. Things just take a little time. #SL: What advice would you give to aspiring hairstylists?

JW: In order to work in a salon, you need your certs. This is definitely important. When you present yourself to a client as a hair stylist, that reassures the client that you’ve been well trained in your craft. I think that it would be much worse situation if you’re not licensed and do something to a client’s head.

Even for sake of presentation, it helps give clients some reassurance. I’d also advise that you need to learn from the beginning that it certainly takes time to build yourself professionally and to get comfortable in the industry. A lot of students think they will just blow up as soon as they start. Take your time.

Everything eventually comes to be where it ought to. #SL: Tell us about your goals and what’s next for your career.

JW: In the next few months, I planning more photoshoots. I have a few ideas in mind. I look forward to doing more work in photography. Ultimately, my goal is to work in TV, film and print. Over the next five years I want to transition from salon work and get into commercials, movies and television shows.

Patrice Purnell Patrice Purnell is a model who was born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi. She shares with #SociaLIFE.us about her multiple roles with the fashion business and carving a niche for herself as a plus-size model. #SociaLIFE.us: How long have you been modeling? What do you enjoy about it?

PP: I’ve been modeling for three years. Modeling gives me a chance to show off not only who I am but my willpower and confidence. It’s not just a runway walk to me. Modeling is about life. I feel like I’m a platform model for others who want to embrace their size. #SL: How did you get into modeling?

PP: My cousin suggested that I start doing shows. Honestly, I didn’t know how to walk at all when I began. My first show was in Jackson, Mississippi in 2013. It was called “Urban Culture”. I met other people who encouraged me to try out for other shows. #SL: What was it like when you got on the runway for the first time? What went through your mind?

PP: I was frightened. I kept looking at the ground and walked fast. My poses were about two seconds each. Normally you pose for three to five seconds. #SL: What kinds of other events have you done since then?

PP: I’ve participated in Paint the Runway, in Jackson, Mississippi, Beautiful You Fashion Tour, in Atlanta, and I did an HBCU college tour. As far as magazines, I’ve been featured in Queen Size magazine and Top Model & Talent Scout (TM & TS) magazine. #SL: The fashion industry is continuing to understand that women are beautifully diverse in all sizes and unique attributes. Tell us about your experiences with coming into the industry as a plus-size model?

PP: It was mind-boggling. In the beginning, I’d get chosen for shows but it would be hard to get designers who create for plus-size models. I was really surprised that some shows didn’t have anyone to dress models like me. In 2016, I was turned down for the New Orleans Fashion Week. They didn’t have any plus-size designers.

I had a talk with myself. I realized that I can’t allow one rejection to make me let go of my career. #SL: You’ve starting coaching other models. What do you like about it?

PP: I love that people trust and listen to me. They take my direction. It gives me the confidence that somebody sees something in me that I don’t see in myself. When this opportunity was first presented to me I felt like God was creating different avenues for me. It’s another way for me to continue moving forward in modeling.

I don’t have to just model, I’m a coach. I love the thrill of being able to teach others.

I’ve coached three shows. This month I am coaching models for the J. Beth’s show called, “Runway Queens” at the Botanical Garden Center. It’s the largest plus-sized fashion show in Louisiana. We’ll have over 30 models at the event. I enjoy seeing the transformation in models from my coaching. #SL: Speaking of other models and coaches, which models in the industry do you admire?

PP: I look up to Cynthia Bailey, Tyra Banks, Ashley Graham and Tess Holiday. Tess is no ordinary plus-size model. She’s size 22 and confident. I love that. #SL: How do you stay focused on your goals?

PP: I feel like modeling is for me and God is opening other doors. I’m not just a model. I’m a model coach. I do print and commercial. I am inspired to keep going.

I’m a single mother with two daughters. I’m teaching them that they can do something great even at a young age. My children feel like their Mom is doing something that they can do as well. I train them on what side of the runway to walk on and practice crossovers and techniques. As they get older they’ll just need to perfect their craft. #SL: What would you like to accomplish in this industry?

PP: I want my daughters’ pathways in life to be lit on fire. Even if I’m not modeling, I want them to be doing it. I look forward to red ribbon cutting ceremony of my own business in the next one to two years. I pretty much see myself expanding into a model consulting agency. I do want to have my studio and have models that I train. They’re a representation of me. I don’t want the fame, but I do want the connections.

Scott Hebert is a world-renowned photographer and award-winning producer with 15 years of industry experience.

His ever-expanding career encompasses photoshoots with notable artists, singers and dignitaries, across the globe. From films to runway shows and motivational speaking, Scott is a true visionary. He discusses his career and motivations through his continued success with #SociaLIFE.us.

SCOTT HEBERT

#SociaLIFE.us: Where did you grow up and how’d you get into photography?

CELEBRITY PHOTOGRAPHER

Scott Hebert: I’m from Lake Charles, Louisiana. Around 2002, my father gave me a Minolta camera. After high school, I went to LSU to pursue a career in Dentistry. I eventually started photographing people on campus. Throughout my life, I stayed engaged with art.

I’ve been doing oil paintings since 9 or 10 years old. I was in my first gallery at 13. When I was younger I led plays and was also a dancer in Chicago.

But the photography part, I think I enjoyed it the most. It was a way of communicating with people. At LSU I was one of the only photographers on campus. That’s how I got involved with it heavily in school.

While I was in a transfer program at Cal State University, out in Los Angeles, a company stopped by to speak to students about careers. They said if you don’t have the right resume, you might not get hired for a job. I thought about how someone can control my future. I went to my counselor and had a talk.

Out in LA, I had a big loft. Everything was based on photography. Once I made the decision to focus on photography, I got a big call from a magazine to knock out an amazing shoot. That was the first time I walked away to push photography all the way. #SL: Talk about your business Studio360 Imaging. What inspired you to create it?

SH: Around 2007, I owned and operated Studio360 in Los Angeles. It became the largest minority-owned photography company in LA. I had over 40 people on staff that included makeup artists, wardrobe stylists, four assistants, and 10 interns. We also had retouchers where everything was in-house. Once I built up my retouchers, we did retouching for many companies. At the time, I was heavily shooting celebrities like Tyler Perry and Gabriel Union. We were picked up by E Entertainment, MTV and VH1. My company did everything from reality shows to Clorox campaigns. #SL: Were there mentors who helped you carve your niche in this industry?

SH: Yes, my mentor Henry Schwartz shot everybody from Marilyn Monroe to Michael Jackson. He made me understand that the business of photography wasn’t just photographing people. He helped me understand what it was like to have a staff, dealing with agents and also not dealing with agents. He was about 80 years old when I met him. He was an amazing mentor.

#SL: You’re a founder of DH Magazine which is based in Houston; tell us where the idea came from to start a publication?

SH: I’ve been working in the magazine business for a long time. For the past 10-15 years, I’ve shot for New York magazines.

I utilized this to grow something in Houston. DH Magazine is a way for people to have a platform in the city. Being a photographer, I’m the one that designs and shoots for it. We’re doing our own distribution.

I’ve been able to interject celebrities into it. Sponsors advertise for the magazine and our fashion shows. DH Magazine is only four months old. The magazine looks really good and people are enjoying it. #SL: Of your artistic and leadership roles so far, which do you enjoy the most?

SH: Right now my favorites are my fashion shows. That’s because it’s something that Houston hasn’t seen before. They’re really creative showcases. I’m able to utilize a lot of skills and channels. My shows tell a story. In one of my shows I had a ballerina dancing with a harpist. For another, I had puppies running down the runway. We’ve had breakdancers. We have a queen who is 6’3. We bring in media, PR, and the news channels. I’ve travelled to 37 countries and use my world experiences in the shows for excitement. My bill is to bring these experiences to the audience and make sure they enjoy it. I just focus on the runway. #SL: You’ve written for projects including your own feature film. Describe your writing process.

SH: I don’t consider myself a big writer.

I’m more into directing and producing. I have a few movies I wrote. When it comes that, I plan it out. Sometimes I go overseas and turn my phone off. I’ll stay for about three weeks to a month and focus until I finish. Not everyone goes overseas. I have to be away from where I’m at. There are too many hats to fulfill. I have to be in total silence to write. Even if I couldn’t go overseas, if I got an Air B& B in Dallas; I’ll do that to focus with no distractions. #SL: You’re a guest speaker with Hill Harper’s “Manifest Your Destiny” program for under-served youth. How’d you start working with the program?

SH: “Manifest Your Destiny” reached out to me with their mentorship program. Hill Harper has inner city kids come to Hollywood. My focus is my entrepreneurship and photography. Hill Harper started my guest speaking roles. Once I worked with him, I went on a college tour. That included Grambling, LSU and Howard, and overseas. #SL: What advice would you give someone just starting out in this industry?

SH: The first thing is just to start. Many people don’t ever start. We all have 100 ideas and never start them. Secondly, you can’t really listen to a lot of what others say. Do the research and step out there.

You have to believe in yourself. I don’t believe in limitations. Stay humble. All these things I’ve achieve are great. Then I move on to the next thing. Never get hung up on an accolade. Keep moving.

KIRSTEN TAYLOR MAKE UP ARTIST

Kirsten Taylor is a makeup artist born and raised in Alabama. Kirsten is a young, driven entrepreneur who studied Biomedical Science at the University of South Alabama. She talks with #SociaLIFE.us about her pursuits as a makeup artist and what’s next. #SociaLIFE.us: How long have you been doing makeup? How’d you get into it?

Kirsten Taylor: I’ve been doing makeup for about three years. It’s been a journey. I’m 21 years old and from Birmingham, Alabama. I moved to Mobile for college. At the time, my major was Biomedical Science. For about a year I kept up with my science studies. I went through depression and thought that it wasn’t for me.

I’ve always been creative and artistic. But people often told me that I wouldn’t make money pursing the arts.

Being in college and having a job didn’t always work out, especially for my major. So I started doing makeup on campus just to make some extra money. I always knew how to do my own makeup. I started doing my friends’ makeup. From there, I started popping on campus. I got so overwhelmed with doing makeup that I figured there was a better way to handle it. #SL: Do you have mentors that showed you the ropes in building clientele and managing your business?

KT: One of my classmates told me about a girl named Angela Clemmons. She was known for her makeup showcases. They featured local musicians and artists. She brought people together and told a story on the runway. When I reached out to Angela I didn’t have high expectations. I asked if she was willing to give me any suggestions. I needed a bit of guidance on the business side.

Angela saw the potential in me when I met her and did her makeup. For one Mardi Gras event, she had 30 clients asked if I could be her assistant. She was like, ‘You do the faces and I’ll do the eyes. I’ll give you $10-15 off of each face.’ That night I came out of there with $300. I was her assistant for a little over a year. Angela helped me brand myself and understand the business side of makeup. I learned how to work social media for my benefit. It does take somebody to push you to get to where you need to go. After I wrapped up assisting Angela, I started a college campaign and passed out flyers on campus. I held forums on makeup and did giveaways all the time. I partnered with my South Alabama campus and worked at their fashion shows. I did makeup for the girls. #SL: You’re very involved with your social media platforms. Tell us about your campaigns.

KT: I started #TheKayKampaign. It’s more than just a hashtag. It’s a way of life. Our mission is to M.O.V.E which means to motivate, operate, validate and encourage a new era of entrepreneurs and visionaries. Our slogan is to enjoy the movement and live the lifestyle. #SL: What advice would you give to aspiring makeup artists?

KT: Follow your heart and passion. Never second guess if you’re going to be successful. If you love what you do, you’ll do your best. Don’t doubt yourself. Even if you’re not great at what you love to do, keep working on it. In turn for dedicating yourself to your life’s purpose, God will make sure you’ll grow in your talent and opportunities. #SL: What are your short-term and long-term goals?

KT: I’m trying to graduate college. I changed my major to Marketing and Public Relations. I love the program so far. It definitely goes hand in hand with my focus. What separates me from others is my branding skills and how I market myself. In the future, I’d love to own my own agency for branding and media marketing.

I’d cater to makeup artists, photographers and hair stylists. My company will contract employees for movies and other client’s needs. I would love to move to Atlanta or Houston.

GEORGE “GOLDENBOY” PHELPS CUSTOM EYEWARE DESIGNER & ARTIST

From eyewear and artwork to producing mixtapes, GoldenBoy is a Texas-based artist whose creative works reach multiple platforms. His custom eyewear collection has garnered a solid following, and clientele that features the who’s who among Hollywood and juggernauts in the sports world. GoldenBoy shares details about his projects and inspirations with #SociaLIFE.us. #SociaLIFE.us: When did you decide you wanted to pursue art? Was it early in life?

GoldenBoy: When I was a kid, I was a prodigy. A lot of people would come to look at my art.

But being from an urban background, it was not really looked at as a cool thing to be an artist. You could be a rapper or ball player though. I became not too motivated by art. Later in life, I picked it up. Art has been what I always wanted to do. #SL: How’d you get into designing?

GB: I really love fashion. I’ve had the opportunity to make an impact on fashion and style here in Houston. As far as my eyewear designs, God gave me the knowhow. #SL: How long have you been creating sunglasses?

GB: About 3 years ago I started my eyewear brand, Sky Trues Custom Eyewear-True to the Skies of Flyness. It’s been a great experience. #SL: Are there artists that’ve deeply influenced your works?

GB: I don’t really have any major outside influences with my work. Nobody does what I do. It’s pretty much about creating what I choose to. That especially goes for my eyewear.

Nobody influenced my eyewear collection. #SL: Your eyewear clients include artists such as Bun B, Paul Wall and 2 Chainz, and former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson. How did you cross paths with these stars?

GB: Part of it was through social media. People started tagging my work and then my following grew. The other part of it was my music. As a musician, I work with a lot of artists.

A number of people admire my fashion taste and my collection of works. They end up purchasing my eyewear too. #SL: What’s your creative process with your eyewear? Do you sketch a lot out?

GB: Customizing sunglasses varies for me. Sometimes I sketch and plan ahead. But I’m more of an abstract artist. Most importantly, I open the door and let God in, through my creations. #SL: You’re also a musician. Describe your sound.

GB: Yes, I’m a hip hop recording artist. I would describe my sound as simply authentic music. Everything just flows. I’ve worked with Rick Ross, Mike Jones, T Pain and Akon. #SL: How do you feel about social media and its usefulness in opening doors for artists?

GB: Social media is a key. Having a clean brand, a clean logo and something that stands out can change your life. I would advise artists to hashtag everything and get other people to do the same for you. Align yourself with successful and likeminded business people. Step out of the box. For expanding your reach, start at the peak hours on social media to get those hours in. Don’t be old fashion. Try something new. #SL: What are some of your goals for the next three to five years?

GB: I see myself at a higher level, globally. My work is already in Dubai. I’ve sold over 10, 000 pairs of glasses. #SL: What hard lessons have you learned about yourself in this business?

GB: I’ve learned to be more dedicated. I try not to let outside opinions influence me. I can’t do much negative vibes. A lot of people will tell you what you can’t do. I would tell people to follow your own dreams. Listen to people who’ve done what you want to achieve. Anything else is unnecessary. #SL: What advice would you give your younger self?

GB: Don’t waste your time. Don’t wait and get swallowed up by life and materialistic stuff.

I would definitely say to be more focused. I share these lessons with students. As you and I are talking on the phone today, I’m at a middle school for a mentor program. I talk about my life and how I’ve done it. I believe in giving back to the community. It’s the best thing to do, especially when you have a little influence behind you.

Angel Lee Modeling -Jackson, MS

ANGEL LEE

#SociaLIFEus: Tell the readers about yourself and your business?

MODEL COACH

AL: Well I’m originally from McGee, MS. I’ve always loved modeling and was eager to join the industry. I started professionally in 2010. I would drive the 40 minute commute to Jackson, MS for opportunities.

I initially began with different troupes. It became difficult because I wasn’t the ideal size or age. It was then that I decided that I wanted to become a leader and help models feel empowered. That’s how I started Angel Lee Modeling. We officially began in January of this year. #SociaLIFEus: What’s the hardest lesson to teach newcomers?

AL: I have to teach that this is a cruel Industry! I teach them that they have to develop thick skin. There will be days where you are chosen and the next you’re not.

You have to have Tough Skin. #SociaLIFEus: What is a good way to get started as a model?

AL: My initial question would ask them what TYPE of model that they want to be. There are different types.. runway…editiorial/print…urban. If they are petite, I would recommend trying editorial/print work. It’s very difficult to be a runway model if you don’t meet the height requirements. #SociaLIFEus: What differentiates your agency and trainings from others?

AL: Well I try to be very fair. It takes a lot of confidence to be a model. I teach them to be humble but not passive. It’s important to go for your dreams. Also, never let someone tell you that you are where you are because of them. Strive Higher! You have to be strong. I want to empower them. #SociaLIFEus: What’s the biggest success story for you?

AL: Mississippi Fashion Week was a huge success for us! I was able to work with great models. Also, Pink the Runway will be a great event. It helps to raise awareness for Breast Cancer. I’ll be the runway coach. #SociaLIFEus: Do you have other endeavors that you pursue?

AL: I also have an apparel line called Ajukm. It’s a reflection of self. It’s a line primarily for ladies but I do have a few unisex pieces. The line includes T-shirts, tanks, caps, and jumpsuits.
