Towanda has always had a keen interest in the beauty and skincare industry since she was a child, but after meeting the “Skin God” Charlotte Wilson of Glow Skin Enhancement, she took actions into her own hands. Towanda decided to take her acquired knowledge and create her very own skincare line called “Ladybug Skincare” backed by Charlotte Wilson. The products are created for all skin types, and gives the user a young, natural, and refreshing glow. Her mission is to educate others on how to keep their skin looking and feeling healthy, one step at a time. With that, she plans on spreading her knowledge across the world, and become a Go-To for all things skin care. The affordable line features A Bar Day & Night Soap, Timeless Ageless Morning Toner, Timeless Ageless Day Moisturizer, Timeless Ageless Night Lotion, Anti Aging Serum, and Glow Sunscreen.

Towanda Braxton is known to the world as an internationally acclaimed singer, actress, entrepreneur, and executive television producer. Best known for her current role as the star of WEtv’s hit series, Braxton Family Values. The dynamic creative transitioned to acting, after auditioning and being accepted to the distinguished Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. Towanda had her acting premier in Misguided Behavior, directed by and starring Carl Payne.

"After you turn 40, your skin changes a bit and the products you used in your twenties don’t work anymore. Partnering with Charlotte Wilson was important to me because Age is timeless, and I want to help women reflect that in their skin," Towanda says in an exclusive Rolling Out interview.

Lady Skincare can be purchased exclusively on ladybugskincare.com.

BRONNER BROS CANCELS AUGUST 2020 BEAUTY SHOW DUE TO COVID-19

​Presents exclusive digital format with education, virtual competitions, and beauty trend release #theshowwontstop

​With the help of innovative technology, Bronner Bros. will be offering an exclusive digital experience designed to meet the needs of the multicultural beauty industry. The core of the virtual BB Show will be education and networking between stylists and brands. Other features include the opportunity to:

• Connect: A digital marketplace will be available to exhibitors and buyers, where they can preview live demos of new products and services for sale
• Elevate: Advanced educational classes on cut, color, weaves, natural haircare and other techniques, all presented by leading master instructors
• Learn: A series of webinars on topics such as financial health, how to safely re-open your salon or barbershop, how to disaster proof your business, and maintaining your health behind-the-chair
• Showcase: A hallmark of BB Shows, competitions will be live-streamed in an exciting and fun display of the industry’s top talent

COVID-19 has had a particularly devastating impact on the Black beauty industry. Multicultural barbers and stylists represent nearly 25% of all cosmetology professionals in the US and contribute to the textured haircare category’s estimated annual economic impact of $2.51 billion. According to a 2019 Nielsen Report, African Americans also account for nearly 86% of the total spend in the ethnic hair and beauty aids category.

​“If my father, Nathaniel Bronner, Sr., was here, he would challenge us to find a way to maximize this moment. So, the Show must go on,” said James Bronner, SVP of Show Operations. “Our goal is to help the Black beauty industry stay inspired, engaged, and educated. We have faced challenges before, and there is no doubt that we will come out of this better and stronger—because we’re in this together.”

Julie Dexter is my Beyonce

​If you are a true "SPEAKER" that follows When We Speak TV, you will know that Julie Dexter was the first live music concert I attended when I moved to Atlanta in 2008.  Back then, I wasn't really familiar with the Atlanta music scene, nor any of the indie artists in the city but I was invited by my business partner, Chet, so I went......and to make a long story short, I have been a Julie Dexter fan ever since.  

​I always make the reference that Julie Dexter is my Beyonce.  What I mean by that is, although I would love to meet Beyonce, I get just as anxious when I see Julie Dexter, as I would if I saw Beyonce!  I really admire Julie because not only is she a great vocalist but she is also a supporter of When We Speak TV!  You may remember that a few years back, I sat down and spoke with her at the release of her album, New Again.  

​Since then, she and I have definitely seen one another on several occasions at musical events like the Atlanta Jazz Festival....and of course this year, she performed at the Jazz In The Alley Concert Series, which When We Speak TV is an official partner!

I think it goes without saying that Julie Dexter is one of our favorite people, that's why I am so excited to have the opportunity to speak with Julie Dexter for a segment of  What Do YOU Speak? 
Definitely take a moment to watch it ...BELOW IS A SNIPPET FROM THE INTERVIEW ......and find who told Julie that, "The Best Thing A Woman Can Be Is A Singer" , which changed her life.  I hope you enjoy it!

Hammonds House Museum Presents A Virtual Evening with jessica Care moore on May 29

​​Atlanta, GA --- Join Hammonds House Digital for An Evening with jessica Care moore. She will read poetry from her new book, We Want Our Bodies Back, and engage in conversation with Hammonds House Executive Director Leatrice Ellzy Wright on Friday, May 29 at 7 pm. Tickets to this virtual event are free, but an RSVP is required. Register HERE.

jessica Care moore is the founder and CEO of Moore Black Press, executive producer of Black WOMEN Rock! and founder of the literacy-driven Jess CARE Moore Foundation. An internationally renowned poet, playwright, performance artist, and producer, she is the 2019 and 2017 Knight Arts Award Winner, 2016 Kresge Arts Fellow, NAACP Great Expectations Awardee, and an Alain Locke Award recipient from the Detroit Institute of Arts. moore is the author of The Words Don’t Fit in My Mouth, The Alphabet Verses the Ghetto, Sunlight Through Bullet Holes, and the critically acclaimed Techno Choreopoem, Salt City. Her work has been published in numerous literary collections and she has performed on stages all over the world including The Apollo Theater, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the London Institute for Contemporary Arts. moore lives and writes in an historic Detroit neighborhood with her son, King Thomas.

​Reflecting her transcendent electric voice, We Want Our Bodies Back is a searing poetry collection filled with moving, original stanzas that speak to both Black women’s creative and intellectual power, and express the pain, sadness, and anger of those who suffer constant scrutiny because of their gender and race. Fierce and passionate, moore argues that Black women spend their lives building a physical and emotional shelter to protect themselves from misogyny, criminalization, hatred, stereotypes, sexual assault, objectification, patriarchy, and death threats. We Want Our Bodies Back is an exploration—and defiant stance against—these many attacks.  You can purchase copies of the book HERE from Charis Books & More.
 
Hammonds House Museum is generously supported by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, Fulton County Arts and Culture, and the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs.
