HOW DIVINE would it be to Actually LIVE Your Dream!

-Were thoughts I often ponder until recent; I was afforded and began to EXECUTE the Purpose (for My Dream).

GREETINGS, I am the Creator of [b]Partners of APB[/b]
(Purposed to Share My gifts as a Philanthropist)
During my expedition, I discovered what areas to apply my gifts.
I am fortunate to work in and passionate about the Arts of Entertaining; [b]Actress, Producer, Hostess, Model.
[/b]
I worked in Corporate America majority of my adult life. A few of those years- I spent pursuing Acting in Film and Theater. After much prayer and getting past fears of the unknown, I finally resigned and became Radical with my Purpose.

I had matured in connecting with people from all genres of life and felt I could “Act, Tell, or Live” anyone’s story whether Stage or Film. But (just) acting wasn’t enough for me. I grew overly enthusiastic of how I could link being a server and an artist.

After taking inventory , I observed there had been a great number of people who were acting or working in other fields, yet were oblivious to their Purpose. I attended events specifically targeted towards actors and people who had similar desire but Not many truly knew their “Why”. This spelled out ‘NEED’ to me, thus birthing Partners of APB (ActPrayBreak).

Partners of APB ‘GET IT’!

Partners of APB IS the LIGHT & Movement that deliberately demonstrates
that you Can Entertain; Act, Sing, Model, Write, Poet, etc without compromising
your spirituality and beliefs. I felt it would Only make sense to develop a team of like-minded Artist who were responsible to the Audience.

Prayerfully taking into account the demand, I had revelation that the Entertainment Industry has such an astronomical impact on the world. While there are several programs that cater to the Art- there still seem to be a lack of Self knowledge and Intimacy. There are also a magnitude of expeditionary learning and Drama in some Private and Public Charter Schools, as well as traditional electives in the Public School System. We are certain that when [b]Partners of APB collaborate[/b] within the scope of Public ([b]Education[/b]) Arts Program- the Organic and Creative Appeal to the Arts will be and or become less than Excellent.

Partners of APB are indeed growing and are EXCITED to share with as many inclined and are receptive to the Mission!

Partners of APB Host Quarterly an

Cupcakes and Stories in the “A” …….

How often do you get the opportunity to wind down, kick your feet up, and just get ‘Pastry Wasted’- without a feeling of guilt? Hmm- I had to sit and ponder that one. Yes, many of us try to escape the norm of our every day hustle and bustle; but in today’s society- actually taking a breath has become an oxymoron. We equate going to our 9 to 5, paying bills, taking care of our spouses and children (you know carrying the torch of the Modern Day Superwoman) to living the Dream. But, if I may be brutally honest- Superwoman saved everyone except for herself!

Whether you are married or single, as a woman- You’ve had to wear that ‘Superwoman’ hat at least 1 period in your lifetime.

On the Exterior- we look Damn good! But if the lighting in the room is right- you may just be able to see a few bruises or dried tears. Mac, simply can’t hide the pain! But the wonderful thing about being Superwoman- (ups or downs) is being able to SHARE our Story.

This past Sunday- I was invited to hang out in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, GA at J’Doah Salon. Women from all walks of life gathered for a Day of Pampering!

Music, Pastries, Cupcakes, White Chocolate Strawberries, Organic Caribbean Cocktails, Beauty Tips, Make-Overs and a little Red Carpet Treatment was but a mere highlight of the Evening!

Sponsors: Venue: J’Doah Salon, Flips Beauty Lash House, V Lashes Midtown, Jaxons Pastries, Blushing Berries-Metro Atlanta..to name a few- zealously Championed to Pay it Forward.

Guest of Honor, Denise Wiggins was the Mastermind and Superwoman responsible for this Soiree!

I would submit that Denise is a Woman after God’s own heart. Her philanthropical condition is symbolic of a vessel. She exudes service and Unity. ‘We are mighty- when we work together’, says Denise. Although, Denise isn’t the first Superwoman to advocate for women, she has definitely snatched the baton and is relentless in making Power Moves for the Kingdom.

Denise is the Founder of LipSynk Cosmetics and a Self Published Author of My Struggles God’s Glory. She is dedicated to Empowering Women and conveying, “No matter the struggle- you Can overcome!”

Denise reflects on a time when she was a single mom and forced to make ends meet for her 3 children with little government aid. She didn’t allow being a single mother to hinder her. Like myself, her children were/are her biggest motivation. Denise attributes other positive women as a beacon of Inspiration.

Denise’s relationship with God- grew immensely. After prayer and petitioning God as to what her divine purpose was, Denise researched the Cosmetic Industry. Reading and Studying were just as important as food to her. There went her journey.

Denise was a bit reluctant (to share her struggles) in the beginning for fear of shame and being too transparent. But with support of her husband and God reminding her- that it wasn’t about her; She remembered her “Why” and shortly afterward birthed her novel, My Struggles God’s Glory.

The magnitude of her mission is no secret. While branding her baby, Lip Synk Cosmetic- Denise learned the Art of Connecting with Women. Her team began to grow. In addition to God being Center of her life- she is ever grateful for her Husband, Daryl, family and close friends.

As if this Superwoman’s resume isn’t already extensive; Denise now shares her story throughout the United States with hopes that it encourages each woman.

As a writer, I serve no justice for the lives that were touched at this Colorful and Warm Event, but as a woman I definitely left feeling Empowered and am too ready to grab the baton and join Mrs. Denise Wiggins in her mission to Purposefully Be the Called, Motivator for Superwomen.

Hey MOVERS and SHAKERS…….

Coordinating, Networking, Bookings, Promoting, Sponsoring, Vending, Marketing and etc usually is the Matrix for Organizing a successful Event. Many have no clue of the magnitude behind production. There is a clear, significant difference in being the planner and the invitee.

Reserved for V.I.P.

If you haven’t gotten the memo by now- allow me….Atlanta, GA has a reputation for being one of the most competitive, urban, Southern, hospitable, pretentious, inspiring, inconsistent, prosperous (all in one) cities in the US. Why do I use such an illustration? Easy, Perception. Some may find it difficult to adapt to and others- fit right in!

After haven resided in the city for several years and being active in entertainment; one of the more observations I have been aware of is-Imagery.

“CAN I BE ME”

Our eyes appeal to Growth, Wealth, Success….. We love some Lights, Camera and Red Carpet. We even fool ourselves into thinking- we have finally arrived! Tuuuhu

There are, without a doubt, a lot of contributors to the birth of this type facade. I’ll refrain from naming (for now). However, I will submit that success should definitely Not be measured by a zip code, vehicle, or what department store you patronize- rather Your internal growth.

In No way- am I implying that having nice possessions is a bad thing. Or that you should even be okay with mediocrity. No Way! Rather a simple declaration- that “things” don’t “Measure” success. I’m totally All for cheer-leading. But I feel (somewhere along the way) the messages have gotten misconstrued. ‘We’ want the trophy but not everyone is up for the challenge! Unfortunately, we’d rather believe ‘building the Empire’ was done overnight.

Working in the Entertainment Industry has certainly taught me truths about myself, quickly. Not everything is what it appears. Simple arithmetic has shaped and predicated my thoughts and behaviors.

If “IT” does not Add to Me… “IT” is taking away!

Now, as I thrive- I realize there are a few applications that would yield the real “VIP” incentive.

Principles are very Practical but a reflection of Living In Your Authentic Truths!
