If you love viewing live-feed from your favorite celebrity , you'll enjoy the new "Speaker Series" brought to you by Instagram. A day ago Kevin announced there are 700 million Instagram users . Today CEO & Co Founder of Instagram Kevin Systrom interviewed model, designer, and author Ashley Graham. As an interviewer myself, I have to give Kevin a super thumbs up for asking Ashley some really cool questions about her new book, being in TIMES top 100 most influential people, and of course being a model. It was awesome watching the two interact and of course Ashley joked about the lighting being good, hey she's model after all right? Kevin stated that he's def going to read her book "A New Model" : What Confidence, Beauty , & Power Really Look Like .Ashley also discussed being a role model for her sisters, venturing into modeling, and having beauty , confidence , and power . She also loves to encourage others to love yourself , embrace your cellulite, and everything that makes you, you. Kevin Krieger also had her read "Kind Comments" a segment that he and Co-Founder of Instagram Mike thought of where, celebs get to read kind comments people said about them online instead of mean ones . I don't know about you but I'm anxiously looking forward to more of the Instagram Speaker Series and reading Ashley's book. If you're excited about her book and love Ashley , look out for her tour she'll be visiting Jersey, Nebraska, Brooklyn , and more. So stay tuned! Summer, arrived early this year, so if you are looking for a bathing suit Ashley Graham's swim line " Swimsuits For All" is available now. Congrats to Ashley , Kevin, Mike, and the whole Instagram team that keeps Instagram absolutely awesome.

   In one of Mrs.Tina Lawson's speeches she  said "God works even when you don't understand. He is giving you things that you can take out the tool box and use even when they seem bad" .  Powerful words  right? The very things that we learn or go through are the very tools we need to succeed, get free, and free others. Mrs. Tina Lawson is a mother, a wife, a grandmother and a successful business women. There's so much that we as women and entrepreneurs can learn from her.
     Mrs.Tina launched her mentoring group "Tina's Angels" , that meets on Saturday mornings. It's a program  for girls ages 12-14  to learn about not judging others, posture, to be kind, learn to be compassionate, hygiene advice, self-esteem, and more. So far Mrs. Tina has had  a few  meetings with the girls. She's also taken them to see a show Alvin Ailey Dance Theater, where her husband actor Richard Lawson taught the cast. The girls had the opportunity to see the show and meet Beyonce back stage. There's nothing but pure joy on the girls faces. How truly amazing? Mrs.Tina posted a video a while ago with the girls in "IVY PARK" clothing. This weekend Shea Moisture donated hair and skin care products to the girls . They were super thankful to receive the gifts. Mrs.Tina also gave the young ladies  locked journals with their names engraved on them. Mrs.Tina encourages others to get a group of kids from your local church or neighborhood and mentor and spend time with them .Show the youth  some love and attention. She says "It's rewarding and you can change their life" . I love that she also wrote that they are teaching her as well.  It's true in life we all can learn from each other. A snippet of a short film about "Tina's Angels" was posted to her Instagram today. The film is shot by Bianca Ramirez one of the 2017 Boston Marathon Runners. Bianca was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and she received the proper medical care however she took into account that there are children who aren't getting the proper care. So she is running to raise money for the David Oritiz Children's Fund this month.  All of our stories are important and helping one another rise is what it's all about. Mrs.Tina wants you to "B an Angel" , and empower the youth with love and time. Mrs.Tina is a mother to Beyonce, Solange, and her bonus daughter Bianca Lawson, a wife , a grandmother, a business woman, but she's also an angel for starting "Tina's Angels" to inspire the next generation to be powerful young women and use the very tools God gave them to use for good even when things seem bad. So congratulations to Mrs.Tina Lawson , Bianca Ramirez, and all of Tina's Angels. I wish you love , blessings and joy ladies. Power to you all!
