The Struggle Is Real


Experiencing humiliation is humbling yet a hard pill to swallow. After sharing news with people I felt of things coming to fruition, everything I believed turned out to be taken away. I was expecting my second child & weeks into my pregnancy I was informed there was no heartbeat. After being out of work since 1/15/16 I started my own jewelry business and in that time applied for a grant. Today I received a rejection email of not being a recipient for it. Prior to these two humiliating moments I was called to audition for a commercial I did not get called back for. I ask myself, "When am I going to get a fucking break?" It sounds raw but you know what...I am human. One cannot help but to be in their feelings for a moment when you bust your ass to achieve things in life when odds are against you. As a woman of faith I have to believe there is a great blessing around the corner. I will not curse God because this is what the enemy wants. The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want. Psalm 23

Taking a dream and making it your reality.

Elie Tahari has an inspirational story. Born in Jerusalem and sent to an orphanage after his parents divorced and later to an Israeli Air Force boarding school in Haifa; he managed to migrate to the US as an electrician. He moved to New York and sought work in the Garment District sleeping nights at a YMCA or the benches of Central Park. He learned about the retail business while selling clothes at a boutique in Greenwich Villiage. Elie then began to design women's fashion inspired by the NYC nightclub scene. Tahari became one of the first fashion designers to open a boutique on Madison Avenue in 1974. Today Elie Tahari is an American luxury designer for men and women with his clothing gracing five continents, more than 6,000 US stores and in five free-standing boutiques. That's a long way to come from sleeping in YMCA's and on park benches. Today model's wore t-shirts expressing love for ET as he cut the ribbon to the new lay of the ET shop in Saks Fifth Ave.
