J'Smith's Summer Blklst Fashion Show Case (with Twisted Rose Metal Designs)

Hi Guys!

Thanks so much for reading. I hope all is well. This past weekend on May 28th, I was given the honor of attending a very special event in collaboration with Black Fashion Week USA! I was invited to J'Smith's summer show case for her Blklst clothing line! Along with the incorporation of accessories from Twisted Rose Metal Designs.

As expected, I was very pleased.l However, I was even moreso touched to see that all business conducted was in efforts to support black owned businesses. The fact that the entire event was created and supported by my own people was even more touching than the jaw dropping fashion, jading jewelry or tasty VIP food menu :p

All in all, I had a great time and would love to thank Black Fashion Week USA for yet another amazing event that I am so happy I was a part of. Also, I would like to shout out the photographer for taking such great images for me to add to my blog. And thank you to the designers who gave me such appealing eye candy to look at during the show! Below are the images and links to everyone's websites so that you can check them out and join the wave!

About Me

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Calynn, 17x Award Winning businesswoman, media personality and former pageant queen (Miss United States Universe Tourism 2021, Miss World America Nation 2020). I started this blog when I was barely 15 years old in January 2011 as a supplement to my application to the retail business internship at the downtown Chicago Nordstrom mall! I stayed there for 3 years learning the fundamentals of everything fashion business from sales and marketing to media and modeling. This was a phenomenal foundation to my career as it gave me the rudimentary knowledge and competitive edge that I needed to be successful! From there, I went on to college and obtained my first degree in Business and Humanities (the arts and social sciences). I wrote as a freelance journalist and editor for several large publications and hosted live cable television for two years. I walked countless red carpets being a VIP media guest at major industry events all over the country

38 Underrepresented World Wide Talents That You Need to Know!

In a world where so many great entrepreneurs and artists can become famous at the act of one viral video online, it's easy to get lost in the misconception that with social media's "power," anybody who is talented is already known. After all, it isn't as difficult to gain exposure and "get big" as it was 20 years ago before the Internet's Massive Media takeover, right? Partially yes, however, social media also makes the market 10x as saturated as it was 20 years ago. Thus, are you really that much further ahead if all of your competition has the means to one-up you, free of cost and inconvenience, just by posting to their online accounts? It's a lot to think about. That is why we here at The Fresh Faces Project work hard to make sure that the artists and entrepreneurs and do-gooders who are underrepresented and don't get the fame and acknowledgment that their talents merit are given a platform. That platform is us. When creating thi

Living My Best Life Tour: Studying At Harvard, Winning Awards and Walking The Runway!

Hello all! Thank you so much for returning to my blog and reading this post. I have so much to tell you all because the last few months have been CRAZY! I'm not even sure where to start. I guess I'll begin with the awards that I have been so blessed to receive within the last two weeks. I have NEVER in my entire career of almost a decade managed to take home five awards in such a small time frame! I received two Virtual Visionary awards for Entrepreneurship & Community Service, two awards given by the Sara Williams Scholarship Fund with proceeds benefitting research at St. Jude Children's Hospital, and a Service Leadership award from the pageant system that I represent as their current Miss World, the Miss & Mrs. America Nation Organization ! It was so much fun to have the honor of strutting the runway at their Nationals Fashion Show a couple of weeks ago alongside my amazing sister queens! Prior to this, I hadn't modeled in a fashion show since I was a Fashio
