Ignite

“When you live in love and light, you will not go unseen, ignite the world with every flame of your being.” ~Unknown

Greetings Readers!

We all possess a powerful energy that dwells within. A vitality that gives us drive and inspiration to pursue greater. An intensity that, quiet as kept, is like a smoldering fire just waiting to erupt into an inferno of vulnerabilities, passions, desires, possibilities and purpose. Now let’s admit it, highly creative individuals are some of the most captivating beings on the planet. They are wild and courageous. They are spontaneous, sensual and stimulating. They are evolutionary and revolutionary and they are often a rare combination of all the elements: fire, water, air, earth and ether. There is a hint of mystery that exists around these enigmas that draw curious attention. People want to know what really lies behind the gift? What makes you different? What makes you so fascinating?

The highly creative are deep thinkers that seem to live life in a constant brainstorm. They are passionate in their approach and readily embrace next level ideas. Now although many of us have those embers burning down deep, it is the divinely creative soul who allows that slow burn to rise to the surface like molten lava and flow freely. These beings are fueled with intention and do not operate in fear or doubt. They are restless, bold risk takers who are motivated by progress and accomplishment. For them it is a moment of unleash to be fierce, unafraid and unabashedly who they damn well please; to be confident they will prevail and to walk through life with the courage to blaze one hell of a trail... and leave the ground smoking. 

When you are highly creative (and for the record, this is when you begin to tap into your feminine essence), you realize that it truly is in your DNA and what comes to you organically would take most a lifetime to create. Once that match is lit, no matter where you go, people will notice it. You will always be different and you will always standout. Like a moth to a flame, there will be something peculiarly enticing about you. You will have the natural draw of a magnetic field and it will be strong. Now watch what I say... your aura will have your magic on FULL display. You will glow so bright, they will have to turn off all the power in the world to affect your light. This is a heavy burden to carry, but definitely worth the weight and the wait.

This "Ignite" concept was so sultry and we couldn’t have pulled it off without featuring someone who could make the energy literally jump off the page and meet you where you are. So we invited the gorgeous and super sweet, Asia, to join us and embody the heat we knew we needed to communicate with this project. Yep, she brought that FIRE! Enjoy the images that follow from our "Ignite" concept and remember to continue to pursue your dreams, find your purpose and let the flames of your soul burn endlessly.

Ambition

"And one day she discovered that she was fierce, and strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears." ~Mark Anthony

Greetings Readers!

When you are a woman of color, and more specifically, a black woman, you grow up knowing that circumstances that are not within your control may or may not work in your favor. You realize your experiences will be much more challenging and getting ahead will be more difficult. You will be expected to be more educated, more hardworking, will be paid a lot less than your counterparts, and will still be overlooked for well-deserved promotions. This is a disparaging condition of our reality. What is even more defeating is when we do FINALLY get ahead, we sometimes get amnesia and forget to reach back and grab a hand. This is probably the part I LEAST understand. Well despite everything we have to go through as a group, we are incredibly gifted, highly ambitious, strong beyond our wildest imaginations, more cabable than we will ever receive credit for and have the most powerful entrepreneurial spirit of them all. 

A black woman's ambition is energetic and unmatched. When we have to deal with the day-to-day excuses for why we can't receive more pay, but can continue to be assigned more work, more projects and more responsibility day after day, month after month, year after year while continuing to watch others climb the ladder, we eventually activate our natural creative ingenuity. We first start thinking of ways to improve our skill sets so that we can be better prepared for opportunities that may come down the road. Next, we start brainstorming on our interests and ways we can use our gifts and talents to start our own businesses and begin to create our own possibilities. Our backs are rarely against the wall without options and a back-up plan. It is at that moment we begin to cultivate the necessary habits that will bring us success on our own terms. 

As women of ambition, we are convinced there is nothing that can stop us from achieving our next level goals. We become fearless in our achievement and relentless in the pursuit of those things that set our soul on fire. Black women we are sacred warriors! We know how to turn pain into power and allow our ambition and drive to take us to places where ambivalence and doubt never will. We know how to believe in ourselves, connect with our energy source, move in silence and applaud our own efforts rather than wait on the hand claps of people who are not invested in our advancement. We're willing to get our hands dirty for the sake of succeeding and we remain passionate and committed, all while knowing others are watching, but will never admit it. Keep working your goals, Queen and putting action and implementation behind those plans. We are redefining excellence in business ownership, academia, media, politics and yes, even in a corporate culture dominated by everyone BUT us. We have a commanding presence and are an invaluable source of knowledge and expertise. Don't let anyone speak anything less over your life. 

The "Ambition" Concept introduces model, Divinity, an independant and ambitious young woman who is also an unstoppable rising entrepreneur. Everything about her speaks FIERCE! Please enjoy these images from our "Ambition" Concept and may the flames of your heart's desires always be unquenchable.
