The show was off the wall. If you missed it, I don’t want to be the one to tell you that you missed out, but I will anyways…

YOU MISSED OUT

For real you missed a great night filled with laughter, excitement, a host that can only be described as fab and wild, her name is Shannon Boodram and she was amazing.

We had great prize give aways, great music by DJ Lissa Monet, and all the performances were great, it was the perfect variety.

The fashionable people of our city came out and showed us their style, and they didn’t disapoint. Everyone looked amazing.

Thank you to all who came out to watch the show. Thank you to our sponsors, our volunteers.

I am #SheRocks

8 Jun

I am a dancer

I tell the story behind the intricate beats and melodies as they dance off the sheet music. 

I coax the sun out of hiding,

I am the envy of the rain,

I am the physical embodiment of joy

I am a dancer

 

I am a singer

My voice makes the heavens stop and take notice,

I rhythmically share the words on your lips, the thoughts clouding your mind and the emotions weighing down your heart,

My voice is a message carrier to the soul

I am a singer

 

I am a comedian

They say laughter is food to the soul, so I must be your nourishment,

My humor gives as you wish,

That smile that passes your lips, you may accept as my gift

I am a comedian

 

I am a poet

Where there are only words, I give life,

Where there is darkness, I shed light,

My art is foreplay for the mind,

I am a poet

 Love LaLa

Back in the day memories with Lauryn Hill

7 Jun
Let’s take it back to 1998, when music was great and you could play a full cd from top to bottom without skipping any songs! I came across my Miseducation of Lauryn Hill cd the other day and played it all day long while cleaning my room and running some errands…maaaaan i miss those days where my girls would come over and we would sing every song on that cd over and over and dance like we were in the video! LOL Goood times!

Check out one of my favourite songs from the album…Lauryn Hill ROCKS
 
 
Grab your girls and come out this Sunday June 12th to the Night of Essence She Rocks showcase at 6 Degrees and celebrate these faboulous women doing what they love, showing off their talents, great music by DJ Lissa Monet, prize giveaways and the amazing Shannon Boodram hosting it all!

6 Things every business woman should know #SheRocks

6 Jun

6 Things every business woman should know

 “I’m a business, man” Jay-Z voice.  Ok I know this post is about business women and I used the voice of a man.  However take in what is being said and just how big that statement is.  It speaks to anyone who has decided to make their passion, purpose or art form a career.  You are your business; you are your product, merchandise and assets.   Even if you are not yet up and running as a business full-time you owe it to yourself to invest, grow, promote and develop your business into an empire.  If you treat your business like a “side hustle” two things may happen: 1) you will only been seen as others as a side hustle because that is how you see yourself.  2) You will only make side hustle money.  Do not be a victim to your own ignorance, it’s grind season and time you discover how to get your empire state of mind on. 

  

Stacia Pierce: #1 Ladies Millionaire Maker: Business secrets learned from watching Oprah

1. Successful people leave clues. “For every one of us that succeed, it’s because there’s somebody there to show you the way out.” You can never journey to a new place without a map.  Successful people are checkpoints along the path to success.  Oprah has always been candid about the advice she received from mentors like Maya Angelou, Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier.  For those you admire, if you want their success, be smart enough to model their lives.

2. Reading is the real key to success. “Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.”
 Oprah learned early that reading opens the door to curiosity, passion and self-discovery. Oprah has shown that although she is the queen of all media, her favorite activity is getting lost in the pages of intriguing books.  Inspired reading has the power to release anyone from the confines of ignorance, poverty and defeat.

3. Face Your Fears “Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.” Sometimes, you’re just going to have to go through what ever curve ball life throws you, what ever challenge you are facing…be courageous..Stand up and fight…You’ll make it out on the other side stronger and wiser than ever before.

“There’s no easy way out. If there were, I would have bought it. And believe me, it would be one of my favorite things!”

4. Trust Your Intuition“Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.” You don’t have to have psychic abilities when we are tuned into that still, small voice that is constantly trying to lead us..We always get better results.  Trusting your gut is just good business practice…if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

5. Excellence is necessary to win in life. “I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.” Excellence is doing things right the first time. Your personal excellence will take you further than you could imagine. While you are building your business…take time to consider...Are you giving your absolute best?

6. To move out of your comfort zone you have to change the cast around you“Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.” You have to take the step out in order to go up. Learn to put your trust in those that have seen a higher life by aligning yourself with people that challenge you or even make you uncomfortable

DJ Lissa Monet will make us dance for the night

6 Jun

Do you know who DJ Lissa Monet is, we hope so, if not, then I don’t want to be the one to tell you, you have been been living under a rock..but because I know we all live busy lives, I will kindly feed your curiosity.

Having spun records for the likes of The Toronto Raptors, LeBron James, Ludacris, Drake, Rachel Roy and brands such as Sony Style, Fuze, and the LVMH group – Moët & Chandon, Hennessy, etc, DJ Lissa Monét has captivated taste makers, party goers and music lovers with ego-free talent that delivers the right music and vibe to events that she has spun at with modesty and intelligence.

Shortly thereafter, with her popularity spreading through word of mouth, Lissa started spinning popular club nights across Toronto. She became a fixture for the highly anticipated Wayne Warner events hosted by Hennessey and Moët & Chandon and was soon spinning in clubs in Detroit, New York and Atlanta. Inventive and energetic, Lissa was pleasing crowds while controlling the vibe of the party mixing musical genres such as r&b, hip hop, soul, house/dance, rock, reggae and her favorite, 80s classics.

DJ Lissa Monét was recently awarded the 2009 Stylus Female DJ Award which recognizes the achievements of DJs across Canada.

Recently, DJ LissaMonét has spun at hot spots in Toronto (Rockwood, Nyood, Tryst, Lobby, Century Room, Courthouse). Dream Nightclub in Cleveland, Bungalow 8 & Gypsy Tea in New York City, Aura, Viper Room & Bamboo in Nassau, Bahamas, the opening of Club Rouge in Uganda, Africa.

A one of a kind talent, Lissa excels in any field she chooses whether its blogging, artist development, marketing/ branding or DJing. Her branded mixtapes such as Love Letters and Broken Hearts and the Keri Hilson Miss Perfecton mixtape are still very popular and can be found on her blog for download.

Lissa’s mandate as a DJ is simple: “Good music is good music, no matter what your genre preference.”
