The Fashion Arts of Humanity Fete Awards!

Hi guys!

Thanks again for reading! I hope you all are doing well:) Today, it is my absolute pleasure to inform you about a very important cause that I support. This fall I had the honor of attending the televised Fashion Arts of Humanity Fete Awards as media. I must say that my experience was grand. Everything was well worth the commute. So, a huge thank you to the Executive Director, Renita Garrett and all of her staff!

You would think that my favorite part of the event would be the fact that I was gifted a $50 gift card that I thoroughly enjoyed. However, my favorite part was interracting with so many awesome talents. I got a chance to meet a phenomenal photographer who was nice enough to snap some shots of me. I got to meet a fierce fashion model, Deandrea Brown, who really touched my heart with her beauty both inside and out. And, I even got to briefly chat with the lead singer of the rock hard performance band, The Fox and The Hounds. You will be seeing them featured on the blog as Fresh Faces soon enough because they were amazing ;) This, along with meeting such nice staff made me feel so welcome and I am grateful that I had this experience. I hope to be able to come back next time!

Here's a little more information about Miss Renita Garrett and the FAHF Awards:

" Fashion and Arts Humanity Fete ( FAHF)  is an annual live event production that honors humanitarian achievements in the fashion and arts industries. FAHF honors non-profits, individuals, and  businesses that use the arts to advance human welfare.  This awards show is infused with arts entertainment, performances, and special guest appearances.  FAHF wants these humanitarians to know that their work is not unnoticed and appreciated by even those who may not benefit directly from their service. We are all one; one good deed helps all. Additionally, this awards show provides encouragement and motivation for others to become volunteers and/or humanitarians. "

 "Renita Manley-Garrett earned her BA in English from Northern Illinois University and her MPA from Governors State University. She has worked as a Life Coach for the formerly incarcerated, an English teacher, and a professional image/style consultant. In 2010, Renita created what is now The FAHF Awards and in 2013 used its successful platform to found The Arts of Humanity, a 501(c)3 dedicated to creative humanitarians. Both 2014 and 2015 productions of FAHF sold out and currently, the production is being developed for nationwide broadcasting. Renita’s successful production of The FAHF Awards has earned her a feature on Jet.com, an interview on the Ernest Fenton radio show, and lead to the creation of a new web series, The Arts of HumaniTEA. In 2014, ComEd awarded Renita with a Neighborhood Hero award for her works with The Arts of Humanity. Renita is also the Chicago Correspondent for Looktothestars.org, the web’s number one source for celebrity charity news where she’s interviewed Ta’Rhonda Jones from Fox’s Empire and Clay Aikin among others."

About Me

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Calynn, 20x 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 a

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

The Search For "Mr. Right": 2 Years On Every App Taught Me This

  Over the last 2 years, I've been conducting what some could call a "social experiment." I have been single (by choice) for the better part of the last 2.5 years and had an epiphany a little over 2 years ago to give online dating services a shot! While it hasn't been the most miraculous experience, it has certainly been a valuable one! And, I strongly recommend that anyone who is looking to settle down with a life partner, give them a try! Maybe you don't need to sign up for almost every app known to man like I have LOL, but at least try the major ones. This blog is a detailed account of my findings as a young, sweet, successful woman with online dating.  For clarity, I've added the below chart for you to understand who I am and what I have to offer versus what I am seeking. This foundational knowledge is key to comprehending the results of my "experiment." I, as a 26 year old woman who is the CEO of a successful small business ( www.caycomcreate.co
