Hey Y’all! I am so excited to share my very first fashion haul video. I recently featured Ola Clark the owner of Oshun Boutique, LLC in Vicksburg, Mississippi on the blog as a Dope Black Woman business owner. I ordered several pieces from her shop, including her bomb azz shapewear and decided to do a haul video! Oshun Boutique carries comfy, fashionable clothes for ladies ranging from size small to 5x. She sells out quick so you have to be ready to buy and literally for the f

NinabayandCo is a mother and daughter operated brand. Schelli Jones and her mom hand-craft bags and accessories. Schelli sews and her mom crochets so there is a variety and uniqueness in the offerings. When Schelli began her business as a hobby, she originally had the idea to give her mom something to do and potentially make extra cash as a retired grandma. Schelli set out on a personal journey to learn how to sew and the rest is literally history. Schelli Jones was born and

So I am always encouraging people to nominate other Dope Black Women to be highlighted for the blog. This nomination was so timely and the interview was perfect.

They are gentle enough that even my preteen daughter is able to use them on her sensitive skin. All ingredients used a

Tammie and I go back...way back! She is one of the first people that I met when I landed on the campus of Mississippi State University in the summer of 2000. She was the tiniest, sweetest person I met that summer. She was helpful and just gentle. Fast forward 20 years and she is still that same tiny, loving, sweet, helpful, and gentle spirit. Tammie Cooper, born and raised in Moss Point, Mississippi is now an Orlando, Florida resident. She is a marketing maven, consultant, m

So for a few months I'd see a few of my Facebook friends posting about Yoni bars, oils, and steams. I noticed that they were all referring to the same person. I sent a message to the young lady who was handmaking the items and inquired about them. Little did I know that I was meeting with THEE Yoni Goddess, Doula, and CEO of She Blends Natural, Stephanie Dort-Brown. Stephanie is a native of Belle Glade, Florida, and the creator of her own line of all natural Yoni products. Wh
