Hello, I was just thinking about how digital media has allowed us all to channel our style and share information.
Here is the show that started it all for me three years ago in Janet’s attic,‘Real Talk’ with Janet & Karen, your entertainment/lifestyle/health/motivational mommy moment web-series starring two ladies reinventing one moment at a time.
Let me know your thoughts.
Paula Patton graces Dec/Jan Complex cover
She is a Hollywood actress with her first breakout superstar role with Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible franchise and yet she manages to genuinely smile and laugh as I interviewed her. Paula is enjoying her moment and wants us all to know that you can STILL be a nice person on the way to the top.
Paula talked about how taking care of self as a wife, mother, friend, and person was #1 on her list for keeping it ALL together as a momma in her 30’s. She shared how exercise is a must, wearing lipstick and dancing with her son is high on her list as it relates to renewal and reinvention.
We love her at TBNM!
Here is my interview with Paula Patton, let me know how you keep it together? Follow me @Thebrandnewmom.
I love an inspiring story.
Meet Agnes Davis, CEO of Swim Swim Swim I Say, a company dedicated to empowering parents, toddlers, and the elderly on the joys and benefits of swimming.
It wasn’t long ago, Agnes was unemployed due to a wrongful termination, at that moment a life-intervention appeared on TV while watching NBC- Today Show. Become inspired and learn what she did next.
Here is a recent interview I conducted with Agnes for Black Enterprise.com – Brand New You!

Thank you to Black Enterprise for hooking up a workout session (will air next week on BlackEnterprise.com) with celebrity trainer Mark Jenkins.
Mark and I taped an upcoming show for BE’s ‘Brand New You’ about getting in shape on a dime with easy workouts.
Mark has an interesting story, he once was an overweight kid who joined the armed services, got in shape and created Brand Mark Jenkins to empower everyday people to get moving mentally and physically.
He followed his passion and the celebrities discovered him through his authenticity and now he is the go-to-trainer transforming the mind and body of modern day icons from Mary J. Blige to Beyonce and D’Angelo (killer abs in ‘How Does it Feel).
Let us know your thoughts on the show. We appreciate you for watching and please spread the word and post a comment. Sending Brand New Love!
Janet Shields Scott and I had this idea to do a show about ‘Real Talk’ from our perspective. ‘Real Talk’ was taped in late March 2011 and as you can see it was very … well, authentic and then some.
Influencer Panel for Coca-Cola with June Ambrose (Celebrity Stylist) and others
Last Friday, as I was preparing to leave the gym after an Olympic workout with all my accoutrement, I-pod, pedometer, agua and a smile you would believe what happened next?
The program director at my gym asked me if I was interested in becoming a certified fitness instructor? W-O-R-D??!! All I could think … you have made my day, month and year — thank you.
Let me tell you — it was only a few years ago when an instructor would ask me, “Have you thought about getting a personal trainer and a nutritionist?”
The answer back then was, “Absolutely, do you mind paying for it?” LOL Continue reading

Hello Sexy Mommas,
I have a challenge for you … ready?
Are you ready to take both your ‘brand’ and sexy back?
Let’s get fit together.
Each week I will post video with my weight count and you can send me yours and I will post a few (we are in this together).
At the end we will have a grand prize (to-be-determined) for the person that came closest to their weight goal.
Are you in? If so, get moving mommas.
Remember, its not a size game its a life journey.
Here’s a brand new mommy tennis workout.
