So I got a haircut. And no I don't like it, but it's symbolic of how I want to transition into my new life. A lot of things will be cut out of my life that I loved, but they may be toxic. When wanting to grow healthier hair, it's always necessary to get the 'big chop.' And it's hard. I'm currently in the remorse stage. But I'll get used to it. There's nothing better than getting comfortable in your own skin and living your best life with a healthy and solid foundation. P.S. Look out for my BIG BIG VIDEO TOMORROW!!!

Hey Guys!! First off, how was your spring break? I hope you all enjoyed your time resting and working on your tans. Now, have you had your coffee and newspaper? Unwanted traffic? Loaded with assignments or a major project? Great. Welcome back. I want you to take these next few weeks like a grain of salt. Yes it's Sunday and tomorrow is the day we get back in the shop and set the tone for the week. We've learned how to rid ourselves of the Monday Blues . Today is no worse than tomorrow; better yet, it's as good as yesterday. This week will be a challenge, but you are always up for a challenge. Obstacles are how we polish our character and we want to be dynamic. One obstacle we haven't really acknowledge is the person you see every morning after washing your face. No, not your spouse, it's you. We are our greatest critic, and at times our own demise. Why? Because only you know exactly what you go through. Your daily battles don't always end with triumph....

Hey guys!! Today's blog will be short (kinda) because I want you to read this article an awesome friend sent me. The article is very uplifting and motivated me to try something new. Sometimes it's hard to take someone's word for it when they are the only ones to back it up. Well today you'll get a taste of someone else's life and I hope that it'll secure any doubt you may have. And in addition to that, once a week I will post a message from an outside blogger so that you guys get the chance to hear other voices. This piece was written by Aerial Adams, an undergrad at Howard University. I read it and became inspired immediately. I'm not going to spoil it so, without further ado, click the link: Link Happy Sunday! -Vernell Allen CEO Expand Your Horizon

Hey Guys!! Congratulations! You've made it to the end of the week. We both did, and if your week has been anything like mine then I know this weekend will be everything for you. But we're not done yet. Today is Friday and you'll be grinding until the clock strikes five. Today's motivation will be given by me; however, it will really be created by you. We've been so serious this past week, which is great, but I like to say, "even Einstein took time to laugh." So today's exercise will be fun, hands on, and maybe a little childish. In the end, it will undoubtedly deem just as effective as the actions we've taken thus far. So, remember all that we have discussed: doing instead of doubting; building confidence; trying new things that are uncomfortable; being the best version of yourself; improving patience; discovering purpose. It's a lot, I know. But everything we've discussed (and will discuss in days to come) has brought us to today...

Hey Guys!! How's your morning going? Mine has been pretty relaxed. Well not really. I haven't had my coffee or small breakfast so I don't feel the same energy I usually have, but I can't let that stop me. We've all had to skip meals before, right? As I make my way to the office, I can't help but think about those moments when we skip out on major opportunities. Before I moved back home, I had the chance to work in the film industry, my ultimate dream. The field I love most had opened it's doors ever so slightly, but enough for me to put my hand in the gap and see what it was like to be on set. But I said no. I had to say no. Remember discussing  patience and how it keeps us from getting ahead of ourselves? Sometimes we have to turn down good opportunities for great ones. And I love what I do now. I love blogging and inspiring you guys to chase your dreams. I love creating designs and making  shirts and I want to continue doing this for a long time. ...

Hey Guys!! I apologize for not posting a new blog yesterday, but I'm sure you didn't notice because you were too busy being great. Excellent! It's only Tuesday and already I am piled to my ceiling with assignments and projects. My  business is still developing, so I'm constantly working to perfect products. If you guys are interested in improving your brand, please check out my website here . Okay, enough of that. Even though I'm swamped, I've kept a clear mind. My objective everyday is to improve my craft. We have to do so in order to remain proactive. Remember, we are aiming to be our best selves everyday and every moment! Now, if I'm being completely honest, I am a bit stressed because there is so much that I want to share with you guys. My vision. My designs. My story. The thought wires me, but I have to calm down. There is a quality that all dream chasers must have in order to steer clear of heavy disappointments, unnecessary risks, and spiraling...
