WTK: Nicole Willis

World, say hello to Nicole Willis of Party Sitters!
To all the event planners please think twice when thinking about inking NO KIDS ALLOWED on your next invite. Party Sitters provides on-site event child care. Yup, kids can tag alone and be entertained in a whole different area than the adults! Is this not the genius idea?! 


I love these pictures because they truly show who this woman is. I met Nicole at her home back in July for the WTK photo shoot and it was all about her family as soon as I hit the door. 

So Michelle Obama-esq

  

I played Candy Land to, even though I'm not pictured
.

  

Above all, some might shy their untidiness away from the camera. Not Nicole, this is her everyday life and as you can see she handles it all to well!

WTK

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm always ecstatic about the next Women To Know.

My team and I (it feels so good to say that!) spend a good amount of time scouting the creme dela
creme for WTK. So to introduce Ms.Leslie Short on ninamdot is a huge deal for me. Ms. Short
is currently dedicated to her company K.I.M Media where she does marketing, event planning and branding. Before this Ms. Short proudly held the position of marketing director for FUBU.  She has been around the world twice, lived in Tokyo, and holds the title of a champion! Ms.Short is a beautiful, well spoken, calm individual. She not only made us feel welcomed but schooled us on some many subjects. For example, Africa and the image of how t.v. tries to portray that everyone is very poor. She's been there done that!
*singing: Been around the world and I I I

Enjoy beautiful pictures from inside the home of Leslie Short in NYC!

WOMEN TO KNOW: Crystal Kendrick

WTK:

Crystal Kendrick is the woman behind The Voice of Your Customer.

The Voice of Your Customer is a minority owned marketing firm that assists clients to penetrate niche markets using survey research, focus groups, secret shopping, business training, and media campaigns. 

I have to say that I just love meeting new business women here in Cincinnati. The Voice of Your Customer office is located in the Walnut Hills area and you probably pass it all the time driving down Gilbert Ave. Crystal was also kind enough to allow my camera and I into her home. Take a look at the photos below:

Gotta love those nude heels!

In the office.

The cutest breakfast nook.

WOMEN TO KNOW

Meet Tiana Tribble, founder of the support group Breaking the Cycle Foundation. Once a month Tiana aims to support youth between the ages of 6-17 emotionally while their parent(s) are incarcerated.

So, not only should you know Ms. Tribble but support her and her positive efforts to BREAK THE CYCLE!

These are head shots taken by ninamdot for BCF web-site.

YES! A proactive individual that didn't sit and complain

about what wasn't available in her area and took

heed from God that she would be the leader of this pack!

WOMEN TO KNOW:

Another beautiful woman that I have the pleasure of knowing!

EVERYONE MEET: Sharlee.

Our foundation came by the way of: "Um, excuse who did your hair?" The lady I asked this question to in a Wal-Mart parking lot 10 years ago gave me the name of the salon to where Sharlee was styling at the time and she did me all the justice in my short hair lifestyle!

She is a good friend of mine who has always been very supportive, super non-judgmental, and humility pours out of this woman (she has been this way since DAY 1 and I know her personally. (she does not put on! )
