Event Recap: Red Carpet Launch Event for The Hair Architect Show

EVENT RECAP - Red Carpet Launch Event for The Hair Architect featuring Celeb Stylist & Author Keith Campbell - Studio 450, NYC - May 4th

In the fall of 2009, camera crews followed Keith Campbell as he visited the campuses of four major hair design institutions in the Tri-State area. The Hair Architect Show features exciting challenges, insight into Keith's high-profile lifestyle, the strong competitive aspects of the hair-styling industry and real-life drama of talented students yearning to win and jump-start their careers. The show launches TODAY (May 5th) on Essence.com @ 5PM.

Last night, Keith Campbell held a private screening of The Hair Architect Show at Studio 450. The show was definitely entertaining spliced in with emotional drama as well. I am excited to watch the full webisodes and super excited that I was able to get first dibbs on seeing the show. Keith Campbell is so nice and super talented!

Monday Morning Inspiration...

A friend passed this along and I immediately thought of you...I found inspiration, I hope you do to!

Philippians 4:13 --- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.

FAB Member: Patricia Rodriguez

"I just want to say THANK YOU for these words of encouragement. I graduated about two weeks ago and I've been searching for a job nonstop. It's frustrating because I feel like I'm trying as much as I can, but am getting discouraged by the lack of responses. When I read your blog today and I saw the words "one day these life lessons will be the foundation of your success," I smiled. I know that being on my own and looking for a job during these economic times is difficult but one day I will look back at it and thank God I was blessed with the opportunity to learn so much. So once again, thank you for your words and all that you do. You truly are amazing!"
