The best way to describe myself and how most would probably describe me first is: CREATIVE. I don't think I could function properly if I couldn't be creative and share it with others. I enjoy pretty much anything that allows me the creativity to express myself. I have a long list of creative things I enjoy and affectionately call myself a "Black American Domestic Goddess". My interests include, but are not limited to writing, style, sewing, cooking, any kinds of crafts, crochet, knitting, (my newest interest) interior decorating, music, dancing, jewelry making, photography, make up, fashion illustration, beauty, (getting more into) graphic design and of course HAIR. I love all hair but afro textured hair really excites me.
I am a writer: I'm a glutton for reading and writing. Outside of God and those I love, it's an important component of my life. AGrlCanMac is my very first baby. This blog will always hold a special place in my heart. I help my mother with her fiber arts business blog: http://fibersofmybeing.blogspot.com/ and I have two other blogs: CreatividualWorkshops.wordpress.com/ (my creative blog) and Money Growz on Treez (my financial blog).
I am the Sr. Beauty Editor for http://www.exudemagazine.com/. EXUDE is an interactive, online magazine reaching out to the young urban, minority professionals. We cover everything from fashion, beauty, music, lifestyle and current events. Check us out when you get a chance; we are making moves!
I also am an entrepreneur:
I created and own Sofysticated Phunk accessories where I design and create one of a kind accessories.

I am a freelance make up artist. Many moons ago, I was a beauty consultant for Clinique and now I do my own thing servicing the greater NYC area but (if the price is right,) I am open to traveling as well. I do editorials, print work, fashion shows, weddings and special events. I am excited to be moving into doing makeup for tv and film and special effects makeup work.
