Bloggers, Brands & Brunch ~ Fro Fashion Week Spring 2012

As a Lead Press Supporter for Fro Fashion Week I was invited to attend Bloggers, Brands & Brunch.  This elegantly planned luncheon for preregistered bloggers & guests was sponsored by Design Essentials.  Beauty, Hair and Culture Blogger, Afrobella was the keynote speaker.  She gave us a very candid and straight forward presentation, where she shared many useful tips on how to become a successful blogger and build your brand.

I jotted down a few of her key suggestions:

*Your logo or name is NOT your brand... YOU are your brand!
*Find your lane and stay in it!
*Be HAPPY for the success of your fellow bloggers!
*Don't allow yourself to be bought and sold.
*Don't allow fear to paralyze you into inaction.
*Dream BIG and Dream FIERCE!

Located in the penthouse of the beautiful Melia Hotel, Atlanta, was the perfect backdrop for a perfect luncheon.


A Who's Who of the Natural Hair Community was in the house.

Actress Kim Coles, Felicia Leatherwood, Master Barber Williams (SofNfree) &  Afrobella
Design Essentials had a one on one with Afrobella.  There was Q & A during the discussion.


Meet the Fro Fashion Week Spring 2012 Lead Press supporters, along with Ms. Tarin Boone.


It was nice to have an established and well respected blogger like Afrobella as Keynote Speaker.  A great time was had by all and we learned so much.

    Hello SistahChick! This was such a wonderful article. The tips you highlighted are very important and something I have been contemplating for some time now.

    "*Your logo or name is NOT your brand... YOU are your brand!
    *Find your lane and stay in it!
    *Be HAPPY for the success of your fellow bloggers!
    *Don't allow yourself to be bought and sold.
    *Don't allow fear to paralyze you into inaction.
    *Dream BIG and Dream FIERCE!"

    The tip on recognizing you are your brand is very interesting to me. I have put so much money into researching information on branding that I am glad you shared this not. Which put a few worries to rest and to continue to be myself.
    Thanks for sharing Sistah. The pictures are wonderful and it is really good to see you bonding with like minded people on a positive level. AWESOME!
