Valerie Harper: Class Act

Rhoda aka Valerie Harper rocked the head wrap back in the day

I still love love the Mary Tyler Moore show and all the spin-offs especially Rhoda.

Remember how fabulously stylish, classy, fearless, driven and funny Rhoda was? She rocked the movement then and now. The reason Rhoda was so authentic is because she was played by Valerie Harper — a truly fearless, driven, stylish, classy fighter and winner. #TeamValerieHarper BNM, has Valerie Harper’s brave outlook inspired you?

Do We Need To STOP Branding And Be Authentic?

As read on Oprah.com

I think how often as a PR/Branding and Mommy Expert I use the world branding when coaching a mom/client.

Too many times to count.

What I’ve come to realize  is that individuals are more concerned with “getting paid” “making it big” and simultaneously compromising self just to get ahead and score a minute of fame instead of being strategic and enjoying the fruits of their labor for an extended duration. Continue reading

Who Is The ‘Brand’ New MommyTM

She is every hue of the rainbow and represents the quintessential woman, age ranging from 30-50, and learning each day to find balance as she ‘re-define’ mommy-hood on her terms and ‘re-new’ her career goals (or launch a new passion).
