HIGH HEEL EXPECTATIONS: WOMEN'S NETWORKING EVENT

 On Saturday April 9th, 2016 I presented everyone with my first event

HIGH HEEL EXPECTATIONS: WOMEN'S NETWORKING EVENT.

As a single mother of two, I was tired of seeing women just being mean, shady, not supportative, negative or plan old hating on one another. After, a bad experience with an old HS friend I wanted to do something to bring women together. I wanted to help bring positivity between women and have them learn how to be a support system, A REAL support system for all women to know that there are others that understand them and made things happen despite struggle, setbacks, negativity, race and lack of support.

I had female geared vendors, I had light appetizers provided by Chef Bryant Hargrove and dessert provided by Maggie's Sweet Indulgences along with a panel and audience discussion.

The main part of the event was the panel which consisted of three beautiful women:

A native of the Dominican Republic Jeannette Miguelina, who had the example of her mother who came to the US in the early 80's and only worked a job for a short time before becoming an entrepreneur in New Jersey and didn't let language, race, being a mom and wife be an excuse as to why she couldn't be her own boss. The example of her mother made her the women she is today: a Paralegal, owner of Deli Delish Grocery, owner of Truck Permits Express (specializing in trucking permits) and part owner of Pink Diamond Entertainment. For a female in her early 30's she is a perfect example of what anyone can accomplish with obstacles as long as they are dedicated and serious.

Lynn Hobson a Washington DC native and is a Hip Hop Publicist, Life Coach and Author of "Diary of HIP-HOP Publicist." I first met Lynn Hobson when her then client Kaylin Garcia a former cast member of Love and Hip Hop: New York was doing a workout and game session in Englewood, NJ. My daughter was participating and despite being someone who is famous, her personality reflected humbleness. I knew I wanted Lynn to be part of my event, just from the short interaction I had with her. Sometimes you meet people and their personalty is an essence of beauty, and that is what I saw in Lynn. I was so delighted when she agreed to work with me. Lynn had a past involving domestic violence hasn't let that stop her. She was so encouraging, despite her fame she is supportive of other women. She made it very clear to those in the audience that building a relationship with God was very important and talking to him is what moves her everyday. As of today Lynn's roster of clients consist of  the Hip Hop duo and Love and Hip Hop: New York cast members BBOB as well as Ceaser and Dutchess of Black Ink Crew.

I was looking for another inspirational women, that was not only doing something positive but could be that kick in the butt to make you get up and do something. So while speaking to a women in a Facebook group i'm in she suggested Pastor Dolevera Derilus. While speaking to Dolevera she informed me she was a Get It Girl Life Coach. Get It Girl by itself sold me, because every female need someone that says "get it girl." Speaking at the event Dolevera mentioned she had negativity thrown at her but overcame the negative by proving that she could do whatever it was she wanted. No matter what life throws at you, you have to ask yourself "how bad do you want it?" If you really want something you have to keep going no matter what until you reach your goal, but don't stop there, keep going. Dolevera also made an important point on who you surround yourself with. You can't get to where you want to go if you have negative weight holding you down, that is a very important because that one negative person you have around can suck your hopes, dream and happiness right out of you. You need people around that let you know you can do it and that will support you while you are making it happen.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

LOVE AND HIP HOP DRAMA: Dear Ms. Wallace

As I was googling these random new cast members (half I have never heard of) I came across the on-going love triangle with Peter Gunz - Tara Wallace and Amina "Buddafly" Pankey.

Now being a female who has had a similar love triangle, I can understand this going on for maybe a year or even two. However, this will be the 3rd season with this nonsense. 

Anyway, it has come to light that Tara Wallace is allegedly pregnant by Peter Gunz and Looks like she is trying to keep the secret on mute while hiding her tummy with a jacket from the Mute shop - such a coincidence lol.

Of course while getting backlash from the public she posted:

So, i decided to write Tara a letter.

Dear, Ms. Tara Wallace,

Let me interject my lovely thoughts on this triangle.

 1) I will and can give my opinion since I watch the show, which gives it ratings which get you paid. If there weren't people watching hunny your bills wouldn't get paid!!!

2) I never knew a female who was so pretty, seemed as if she had some sense but yet keeps making a fool out of herself for a check. I mean where is the SELF RESPECT? Your man of 12 years cheated on you. got married for love or legal issues--- whatever, had a baby on you, still flaunting around with his "legal wife," while you- instead of ending the relationship you continually open your legs to it. Now,there are plenty of insecure women like yourself that go through this daily, but I don't know any that would repeatedly go on TV or wanna be in the spotlight so the world could see how dumb they are.

3) When will you - Ms. Tara Wallace love yourself enough to let go of that trash? I'm not blogging to trash you, but wondering when will you see the light? I love setting people up. Let me help you after you have this alleged baby you are carrying. Let me take you to the other side of life, called HAPPINESS, you deserve it. Hit me up, I got you.

Mona Scott Young is the one capitalizing off your life drama, not making you as a black women, black mother look classy but rather more like ratchet. I did watch for the entertainment but I have a daughter and this is the type of entertainment I don't want her thinking is "COOL." This isn't what real life is. Making one rich because they played a fool for the world. That's why they have comedians. 

That is all.

Best regards,

A Love and Hip Hop Hollywood Fairy Tale

Last night's finale of LOVE AND HIP HOP HOLLYWOOD  was somewhat surprising, it was full of relationship makeups and breakups.

Ray J and Princess seemed to be over after he football dodged her and she fell in the pool. Ray J ended up surprising Teairra Mari with a LV luggage bag. The two seemed to be tongue friendly and cruising on the highway ending up in a cute scene on the beach.

(Scratches Record)
That didn't last long.

Ray J and Princess are back together and according to Teairra's interview with Radio Host Yesi Ortiz, her and Ray J are cordial but nothing more. 

Amanda and Fizz obviously are over after she couldn't keep her distance from the side piece she cheated on Fizz with. Moniece and Fizz planned on working on a better relationship for their son. Seems like Fizz was leaving the door open for them to possibly rekindle what they once had.

Hazel E (shakes head)  the poor child. All season she has been pitiful.
She was Yung Berg's booty call, but confused it with love and thought she was going to be wifey despite the obvious. Hazel wasn't clear on her position and her so called friend  Masika won the prize of being Berg's wifey.

She lost her friendship with Teairra and in order to rekindle that friendship she asked Teairra to give Berg back the song he gave her.

What world does Hazel live in? This chick is lost. Smh.

Then we all heard her "four page letter" that she had written, Berg ended up taking that song back and gave it to Masika. 

I don't know about you but Hazel's version was a hot mess, but Masika cleaned it up with her version.

Hazel was the shows train wreck, trying to gain fame on the show since she seemed to fail on all her other attempts. She was the shows pity case, you couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

As for Berg, him and Masika are a couple,  despite him punching her and pulling her hair after the taping of the reunion. He was fired and she is holding her man down despite what anyone thinks.

Omarion and Apryl, hmmmm their scenes were rather boring despite his momma trying to bring some sort of drama. 

Omarion, your girl is pretty, your baby is cute and wish you luck with Maybach Music.

NEXT...

Souljah Boy and Nia Riley.  Despite her never revealing who her baby daddy is and Souljah acting as if he wasn't ready to settle down, they experienced a miscarriage. Souljah wasn't as supportive as he should have been. The couple make up and break up constantly via Twitter.  However, as of late Nia tweeted "they are working on it. " 

Ouch, Masika. Karma can be a bitch

Early this morning Christian Ward aka Yung Berg from Love and Hip Hop Hollywood was arrested in NYC for allegedly attacking his girlfriend and Love and Hip Hop Hollywood co-star Masika Tucker.
They were apparently arguing while at the Gershwin Hotel. Yung Berg ended up grabbing her neck, threw her to the ground, dragged her by the hair and hit her in the face.
Meanwhile,  on Twitter Hazel E tweeted "Karma is a Bitch."
The drama from this season of Love and Hip Hop is non stop. 

Masika reportedly is sticking up for Yung Berg and blaming his actions on liquor. I could have guessed she would, that's young and dumb love for you.

Stay tuned...

Does Moniece SLAUGHTERS Amanda?

Well I must give Moniece Slaughter a round of applause, she knows how to smack the hell out of a chick. To bad she doesn't use the same amount of effort when it comes to her mothering skills.

Last night's episode of Love and Hip Hop Hollywood regarding Moniece, Fizz and Amanda was juicy. Amanda was creeping off to breakfast was her side dude but got caught by Fizz. Moniece looked at a house with Fizz and put it out there that she better get a room if need be, while flirting. Amanda called a meeting with Moniece to set boundaries but ended up getting smacked and her hair pulled by Moniece.

Now, I'm definitely not a fan of Amanda but I was confused how Moniece thinks she can have any say about anything.
She doesn't have a place to live and she doesn't have her son. However,  she is a concerned mother (yeah, right).

I don't know how they do in the West Coast but Moniece would have  had only 1 maybe 2 times to try a chick from the East Coast and she would have got dealt with. Amanda sweety, don't call someone crazy or delusional if you aren't ready to throw down.

Is it really over between SOULJA BOY and NIA RILEY???

Earlier today Soulja Boy posted on Twitter that he was single and posted his cell phone number.

He has since taken his number down and  recently tweeted he had to change it. However, he tweeted about what he wants in a relationship.

Nia Riley also tweeted she had to change her number and seemed rather ungrateful for her fans concern and words of advice.

Soulja Boy and Nia are currently on Love and Hip Hop Hollywood and Soulja Boy also recently appeared on Sisterhood of Hip Hop with his Ex-girlfriend Diamond.

From the looks of it so far their relationship hasn't come across as peaches and cream, despite the fact Soulja Boy was playing daddy to Nia's daughter.

All we can do is a grab a bucket of popcorn and watch Twitter and VH1 for the continuation of this story.

Hazel E has moved on!!!

Boy oh boy, Hazel E of Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood has moved on and reportedly dating Chet Hanks.
Chet is Tom Hanks son and is 5 years younger than Hazel E. She definitely isn't cashing checks but she is cashing in -in the relationship department. 
Let's see how long this last, maybe it will help boost her flat- lined rapping career.
Stay tuned...

Teairra "Songless" Mari

Can you name a Teairra Mari song off the top of your head?
Well I can't, nor do I care to look one up.
However,  Ms. Teairra has been a very loud character on Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood somewhat of a thuggish Diva.
Well as a viewer, I can only suggest a few things:
Instead of investing her time into buying feminine hygiene products and contracting BV, she needs to signing contracts. Also, Ms. Teairra you need to focus on yourself! !! Get your life besides worrying about Ray J who has moved on. Time is money boo.
Let's hope she takes advantage of her time on Lhhla.

Nia Riley --- Gets around

Ever since appearing on Love and Hip Hop Hollywood,  Nia Riley has become more relevant. 

Having been in a lesbian relationship with Diondra Sanders and supposedly sleeping around with married basketball player Al Horford before returning to Diondra. Nia is quite scandolous despite her innocent demeanor on Love and Hip Hop.

She has never fully disclosed who her baby daddy is, but I'm going for Al Horford. 

Apparently,  Nia was homeless do to a poor relationship with her dad and was living with Diondra who gave her a luxury car, and now has jumped to Souljah Boy who is taking care of her and her daughter.

Hmmmmmm, Nia knows how to rump shake around, and hustles in and out of different beds.
