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.

Design Essentials had a one on one with Afrobella.  There was Q & A during the discussion.

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.
