Although there is such a thing as a competitive drive, Roselinde Ngozi’s reputation is such that she’s customarily ignores it.
After all, as far as she’s concerned, that isn’t merely a bad thing.
“I ignore life’s competitive drive. It can be distracting,” Ngozi told Making Headline News this week. “Instead, I focus on creating, not competition…creativity.”
RAISING THE BAR
PURE CLASS — A gifted and notable speaker whose craft caters mainly to people ranging in ages 28 to 52 — to those who have experienced divorce, bad break ups, or romantic pains, Roselinde Ngozi acknowledges — this Ohio businesswoman’s eloquent voice is steadily attracting more of a global presence.
Speaking of creativity, Ngozi’s reputation is such that she’s also overwhelmingly creative, most notably as a women empowerment speaker, as well as an accomplished recording artist.
A Columbus, Ohio businesswoman, Ngozi is the mastermind the forthcoming single entitled, “Girl Gotta Grow” or #GGG, a hit that will be officially released in the coming days, the Nigerian native announced earlier this week.
“Although life and business are highly competitive, I do my best not to get entangled with competing,” Ngozi said. “I focus inwardly and upward to avoid being distracted by life’s competitive drive. I like to win, though winning to me is doing my best, giving my best, and mastering my best.”
MASSIVE IMPACT — Ngozi’s reputation is such that she’s also overwhelmingly creative, most notably as a women empowerment speaker, as well as an accomplished recording artist.
For Ngozi, 39, she certainly has gone to great lengths to put forth a masterful, immeasurable display, particularly with regards to establishing creativity through her brand which, in essence, has set her apart from other businesswomen who engage in a similar line of work.
For what it’s worth, though, she credits much of her sustained success to the sometimes challenging “process,” in large part because she’s knows full well that in order to achieve greatness, one must trust the dreaded process.
“What I like most about being in business is the process. The work it takes to become an authentic brand inward and (outward). I enjoy the results…to see women engaged in their healing, reminding them of their power and willingness and readiness to take action to become better.”— Roselinde Ngozi
For what it’s worth, Ngozi credits much of her sustained success to the sometimes challenging “process,” in large part because, well, she’s knows full well that in order to achieve greatness, one must trust the dreaded process.
A gifted and notable speaker whose craft caters mainly to people ranging in ages 28 to 52 — or to those who have experienced divorce, bad break ups, or romantic pains, Ngozi acknowledges — this Ohio businesswoman’s eloquent voice is steadily attracting more of a global presence.
That, to her credit, is especially vital, considering many of Ngozi’s peers sense that her best and brightest days in her selected profession are well ahead of her.
“My personal mission is to help women heal,” Ngozi says without hesitation. “Women are powerful beings. I believe when a woman heals a nation rises. My expertise is healing and growth management.”
GLOBAL PRESENCE — An empowerment speaking career that spans 15 years, Ngozi’s credibility has soared in recent years, courtesy of her regular appearances by way of international broadcasting, radio interviews, and social media.
And then there is her featured message, one Ngozi has adopted as her own, thus applied to her immeasurable movement in the process.
“My message is to call out the victim mentality and challenge women to take responsibility and action in three fundamental areas: emotions, relationship, and finance,” Ngozi said.

BLAZING HIT — A Columbus, Ohio businesswoman, Ngozi is the mastermind the forthcoming single entitled, “Girl Gotta Grow” or #GGG, a hit that is will be officially released in the coming days, the Nigerian native announced earlier this week.
“It’s imperative personally to be sure I break the cycle of my mother’s brokenness in order to protect my daughter’s innocence,” Ngozi said. “I am a Nigerian woman, raised in America. I have searched for my Nigerian father — just found him — and is on my way back to reunite with (him). This is significant, because I am the first born daughter to an IGBO (one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa). man. He is the elder of the village, honorary chieftain and a Bishop.”
That Ngozi is preparing to return to her native establishment is a “huge deal,” she said, largely because connecting with her father is, in many aspects, synonymous to her quest to having connected with her God-given purpose.
VALIANT LEADERSHIP — “My personal mission is to help women heal,” Ngozi says without hesitation. “Women are powerful beings. I believe when a woman heals a nation rises. My expertise is healing and growth management.”
“As a first-born daughter, (my) story is significant, because finding my father was a part of my personal healing management plan, which is what I share and present to women in workshops and as a keynote speaker.”
Eloquently stated by this progressive, thriving businesswoman, whose reputation is such that she customarily ignores life’s competitive drive.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.(Romans 8:28 KJV)
Jessica Miller doesn’t shy away from the notion that she’s overwhelmingly grateful to God for bestowing upon her an array of blessings.
Amongst those who highlights her grandest of blessings: her newlywed husband, Daniel Miller.
Having exchanged nuptials on November 10, 2018, amongst the Millers’ notable achievements is continuing a credible business venture that Jessica Miller started some three-and-a-half years ago in Humble, Texas.
SEASON OF THE REBIRTH
IN GOD’S TIMING — A couple who resides in Newark, Delaware, Daniel and Jessica Miller are co-owners of Happy Hands & Feet Transportation. A business that went into full operations in Summer 2015, Happy Hands & Feet Transportation is geared largely toward providing safe transportation service for children at a reasonably affordable rate.

A business that went into full operations in Summer 2015, Happy Hands & Feet Transportation is geared largely toward providing safe transportation service for children at a reasonably affordable rate.
A distinctly unique business that is nearing its fourth year of existence, Jessica Miller acknowledged that Happy Hands & Feet Transportation is extremely ideal, considering it allows her the keen flexibility, particularly as it relates to attending church regularly and spending quality time with family.
Especially now that she’s a newlywed.
DELAWARE STATE OF MIND
FAMILY FOCUS — By and large, it is due in large to love and support Jessica Miller routinely exemplifies for her family that has fueled her fervent desire to start a transportation business that figures to have similar success in Delaware.
“This is very special, because I left Texas for the first time in life while flying for the first time,” said Jessica Miller, explaining the exciting developments leading to her marriage to Daniel in early November. “And (then I) got married to a wonderful man of God, who’s from Philadelphia.”
Together, not only has this couple — whom, prior to tying the knot, had been separated by 1,518 miles — formed a solid, Christian-based union, but their unyielding love has inspired them to collectively establish what could appropriately be dubbed Happy Hands (North) now that a second location is in operations.
SOLID SUPPORT — Interestingly, now that she’s been blessed to marry a big-hearted, godly man who understands the importance of loving his wife as Christ loves the church, it’s safe to assume Happy Hands — North — best and brightest days are well ahead of it.
The Millers, by all accounts, are especially giddy to have relaunched Happy Hands in Delaware, considering Jessica Miller had built a solid clientele in her native establishment, during which she customarily provided services for over 70 families in Texas.
“It’s my passion,” said Jessica Miller, summing up her excitement for the second location of her the family business.
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
DOING IT GOD’S WAY — The Millers, by all accounts, are especially giddy to have relaunched Happy Hands in Delaware, considering Jessica Miller had built a solid clientele in her native establishment when she customarily provided services for over 70 families in Texas.
More than anything, though, Jessica Miller said a transportation business of this nature is ideal, in large part because it provides what she describes as safe and dependable door-to-door pick up and drop off transportation services.
TREND SETTER — A distinctly unique business that is nearing its fourth year of existence, Miller acknowledged that Happy Hands & Feet Transportation is extremely ideal, considering it allows her the keen flexibility, particularly as it relates to attending church regularly and spending quality time with family.
In addition, Jessica Miller credits the founder of JMD Transportation, LLC, as well as It’s On The Way Delivery Services as other local businesses in Texas that have greatly helped enable her to fulfill her entrepreneurship endeavors.
“God gave us all purpose and gifts in our life, especially to help one another,” Jessica Miller told Making Headline News during a March 2018 interview.
By and large, it is due in large to love and support she routinely exemplifies for her family that has fueled her fervent desire to start a transportation business, one that figures to have similar success in Delaware.
ALL LOCKED IN — More than anything, though, Jessica Miller said a transportation business of this nature is ideal, in large part because it provides what she describes as safe and dependable door-to-door pick up and drop off transportation services.
“Having 16 grandchildren, whom had to walk to a school (on a number of) occasions, I don’t want children walking to school,” said Jessica Miller, whose venture accommodates children from pre-kindergarten to high school. “(I love) seeing the smiles on little ones’ faces.”
Interestingly, now that she’s been blessed to marry a big-hearted, godly man who understands the importance of loving his wife as Christ loves the church, it’s safe to assume that Happy Hands — er, North — best and brightest days are well ahead of it.
IN THE NEWS — “God gave us all purpose and gifts in our life, especially to help one another,” Jessica Miller told Making Headline News during a March 2018 interview.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose,” Jessica Miller, reciting the familiar Biblical passage that is housed in Romans 8:28, said during a March 2018 with MHN.
Because after all, Jessica Miller doesn’t shy away from the notion that she’s overwhelmingly grateful to God for bestowing upon her an array of blessings.
Amongst those who highlights her grandest of blessings: her newlywed husband, Daniel — whom, much to her delight, just happens to be her most-celebrated business partner.

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.(Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV)
DALLAS — Victoria Evans had no lofty idea.
In fact, she couldn’t even see it, quite frankly.
Then just like that, God stepped in and revealed Himself as only He could.
PIECES OF SUCCESS
DESTINY STEPS — A credible life coach and recent graduate of Jonesboro’s Life Coach School of Arkansas (or LCSA), Victoria Evans is the mastermind behind the soon-to-be-released book entitled, “Pieces Of Me,” her newly-assembled written document that is expected to help advance the kingdom mightily.
For Evans, amongst the things she discovered was that God’s revelation had come wrapped up in a promise, a pledge that would ultimately change the overall landscape of her life.
Never mind that she wasn’t so swift to embrace that about which was unfolding right before her very eyes.
“It took a while to accept what was put in front of me, but I made a decision to follow God’s promise,” Evans, a Jonesboro, Arkansas-area author, told Making Headline News this week.
For what it’s worth, it’s wasn’t until Evans steadfastly followed God’s lead that she, in turn, was introduced to the vision for which she was created.
NOT TOO EARLY — While a release date for Evans’ book has yet to be determined, Evans told MHN on Thursday that her new project is scheduled to be available this summer and that consumers can began requesting presale orders.

While a release date for Evans’ book has yet to be determined, she told MHN on Thursday that her new project is scheduled to be available this summer and that consumers can began requesting presale orders.
Evans is scheduled to take part in an East Coast promotional radio tour in June, during which she will promote her new book. Also, she will be the keynote speaker at a commencement in the coming months, during which she will be afforded the golden opportunity to promote “Pieces Of Me.”
AND THE BIBLE SAYS…
To her credit, Evans’ “Pieces Of Me” figures to be an constant page-turner, primarily because it is centered largely on reaching people whom she says are “silently dying” or “suffering in pain,” particularly from the struggles they sense are too embarrassing to speak about, she said.
“I want to be a voice for others,” Evans says without hesitation.
It is, by all accounts, because of her eloquent voice through “Pieces Of Me” that has proven to serve as not just a spiritual spokesperson for those in dire need of breakthrough but, above all, her voice through her writings is indicative of just how much God has entrusted her to help enrich and empower the lives of His people for such a pivotal time as now.
GOD’S LEADING LADY — For Evans, amongst the things she discovered was that God’s revelation came wrapped up in a promise, a pledge that would ultimately change the overall landscape of her life. Never mind that she wasn’t so swift to embrace that about which was unfolding right before her very eyes.
Never mind that she initially wasn’t so swift to embrace that about which was unfolding right before her very eyes.
“My message through this book is that it is okay to go through struggles and sometimes feel like we aren’t going to make it, but it’s what we do to grow from it that matters. We get to choose to live or die in those situations. Not just physical death, but spiritually as well.”— Author Victoria Evans
Although she’s already fielding favorable feedback from a book that is months away from its official release, Evans emphasized, among other things: “I hope that the people that know me now can look at me and feel that (they are) much more empowered to live out their dreams and know that there is nothing you can’t do regardless of adversities we face.”
A book she needed somewhere in the neighborhood of a year-and-a-half to compose — “I began writing the book the summer of 2017 and I finished at the end of 2018,” she said — Evans is thoroughly convinced that “Pieces Of Me” is in alignment with her divine purpose.
“I know this book is a part of the purpose God has created for me, because every one of us has a story to tell,” Evans said. “We just have to find a way to tell it. Some choose through music, others through art. My choice was writing.”
And what a remarkably compelling masterpiece it is.
VICTORIOUS VICTORIA
NATIONAL IMPACT — Evans is scheduled to take part in an East Coast promotional radio tour in June, during which she will promote her new book. Also, she will be the keynote speaker at a commencement in the coming months, during which she will be afforded the golden opportunity to promote “Pieces Of Me.”
Never mind that she initially wasn’t so swift to embrace that about which was unfolding right before her very eyes.
“Not many people know my background or the things that I have faced in my life,” said Evans, adding that another book is surely forthcoming. “And, for a lot of it, I chose to keep quiet in fear of hurting others. It came to a point in my life that I had to make a decision: Do I choose me or everyone else? I had to choose me. For the first time in a while, it was like breathing that first deep breath after drowning.”
Talk about appropriately picking up the broken pieces, all of which were designed to catapult her to her destiny from the outset.

PRESSING FORWARD — To her credit, Lieutenant Shelly Carter is empowering girls and women to build their confidence, courtesy of her annual Girls Future Firefighters Camp, an event that is centered largely on bringing awareness to what this firefighter-turned-businesswoman describes as a “lack of females in the fire service.”
For a 19-year-veteran of the City of Hartford Fire Department, Lieutenant Shelly Carter has learned, seen, and discovered a lot.
Still, even to this very day, Carter doesn’t shy away from the notion that she’s clinging to one crucial concern.
“What I realized was there are few women who know about becoming a firefighter, because no one never presented the idea to them,” Carter told Making Headline News during a weekend interview. “My goal is to empower girls and women and to build their confidence.”
To her credit, Carter is doing just that — and much more — courtesy of her annual Girls Future Firefighters Camp, an event that is centered largely on bringing awareness to what this firefighter-turned-businesswoman describes as a “lack of females in the fire service.”
“My girls will leave my camp knowing that there are no obstacles that they cannot handle,” Carter, 49, said.
A credible, community-wide event that is entering its fourth year of existence, Carter emphasized, among other things, that while a date has yet to be determined for a Girls Future Firefighters Camp that customarily takes place during the summer months, now is still an ideal time to promote it as a strategic way to create change in one of the world’s most respected industry.
A native of Hartford, Connecticut, Carter began her fire service stint with the City of Hartford Fire Department in July 1999, during which she was assigned to what is known as Engine Company 9.
Interestingly, she assumed responsibilities as a structural firefighter until she was promoted to Driver/ Engineer in December 2011, this after having turned in a masterful display while functioning diligently in a predominately male role.
SETTING MAJOR TRENDS
WE’RE ALL IN — A credible, community-wide event that is entering its fourth year of existence, Carter emphasized, among other things, that while a date has yet to be determined for a Girls Future Firefighters Camp that customarily takes place during the summer months, now is still an ideal time to promote it as a strategic way to create change in one of the nation’s most respected industry.
As it turned out and much to her delight, one favorable effort had ultimately given way to even more sustained success for Carter, who holds Bachelor’s Degree in Fire Administration from Charter Oak State College and is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Anna Maria College.
That’s because Carter was eventually assigned to the role of Driver/Engineer for what is known as Engine Company 10 and 16.
MUCH RESPECT — A native of Hartford, Connecticut, Carter began her fire service stint with the City of Hartford Fire Department in July 1999, during which she was assigned to what is known as Engine Company 9.
Then in August 2015, P. O. Carter was installed as Lieutenant in the Fire Marshal’s office, where she is currently working as a Fire Prevention Lieutenant, Arson Investigator, as well as a Fire Code Official.
In addition, Lieutenant Carter has been detailed to the Special Services Division, as well as the Training Division as an accomplished instructor, a development that has benefited her mightily, thus sums up in large part why her annual Girls Future Firefighters Camp is absolutely essential.
A MASSIVE IMPACT
SHE GOT THAT RIGHT — “My girls will leave my camp knowing that there are no obstacles that they cannot handle,” Carter, 49, said.
“My personal mission is to show girls and women that they are strong and very, very capable,” said Carter, a devout woman of faith who’s also an accomplished minister. “My hope is that they will begin to think outside the box and explore non-conventional careers such as firefighting, which is so rewarding.”
Given how Carter has been blessed to move up the ranks in an industry that is dominated by her male counterparts, and it’s no wonder she has appropriately assumed the illustrious role as a spokesperson for ladies who aspire to delve off into the fire fighter arena.
GIVING BACK BIG TIME — All things considered, Carter doesn’t shy away from the notion also that it is her civic duty to give back in a big way and, most importantly, inspire other women to become empowered about one of the world’s most respected industries.
“The people that inspire me to do this camp are the faces of the little girls that I see when I step off the fire truck,” Carter said. “And they are amazed that I am a woman.”
All things considered, Carter doesn’t shy away from the notion also that it is her civic duty to give back in a big way and, most importantly, inspire other women to become empowered about one of the world’s most respected industries.
HATS OFF TO HER — “The people that inspire me to do this camp are the faces of the little girls that I see when I step off the fire truck,” Carter said. “And they are amazed that I am a woman.”
“(I’m doing this) for all the women who are in the fire service who have been looked over or pushed aside and treated unfairly,” Carter said of an annual camp that’s geared mostly toward girls ranging in ages 13-to-18. “For the women who’s shoulders I stand on that have paved the way for me to be here…for me to be a firefighter.”
All the while deeming it essential to reach back and help others follow suit.
“To God be the glory for the things he has done,” Carter said.

CLASS IN SESSION — A native of Washington, DC, William Sessions is the mastermind behind “BFF, Inc.” his credible nonprofit organization. “BFF’s goal is to provide you with the wisdom, knowledge, and proven experienced techniques that’s required for you to make it to your next place of destiny, Sessions told Making Headline News this week.
William E. Sessions, Jr. turned 50 years old on Friday.
Surely, he’s basking in the glory of a moment that only God arranged to transpire.
“I’m liking this 50 thing already. Happy Birthday to me,” Sessions wrote in a Facebook post just before midday EST on Friday. “God is so greatttttt!”
A spirited, enthused post that was accompanied by the hashtags, #It’sNotOver and #I’mHereBecauseofCalvary, amongst the reasons that Sessions is especially giddy about reaching the big 5-0 is due in large part to the fact that God continues to steer him to the divine destiny for which he was created.
Consider, for instance, how Sessions, a Mount Olive, North Carolina-area businessman, has gone about providing an entirely unique twist to the acronym, BFF.
Although BFF is commonly referred to as one’s “Best Friend Forever,” Session has appropriately made this familiar acronym apart of his business venture.
A native of Washington, DC, Sessions is the mastermind behind “BFF, Inc.” his credible nonprofit organization.
IN HIS ELEMENT — Having been inspired by his uncle, Elder Levoin Troublefield, and his mentor, Clifton Smith, among others, Sessions is overwhelmingly grateful that God has strategically arranged for him to walk in his purpose.
Widely known as Best Foot Forward, Inc., Session’s BFF provide is designed to provide others with strategic, effective information that will great enhance and add value to their life, particularly through his efficient motivational speaking, life coach lessons, workshops and seminars, spiritual enlightenment, as well as through his involvement in community events — many of which are geared toward helping to empower, enrich, and strengthen the lives of others.
Powered by the slogan, “Speaking Words Of Life,” BFF’s goal is to provide clients with the wisdom, knowledge, and proven experienced techniques that’s required for you to make it to your next place of destiny, Sessions told Making Headline News this week.
For Sessions, his rise to evolving and ultimately finding his niche as an accomplished Life Coach and Peer Support Specialist emerged amid a trying season in his life, he acknowledged.
“The competitive drive in life that propels me for this business comes from the determination and hard work that I faced at the end of a nearly 15-year (cocaine) addiction. (I’m) desiring to restructure and put meaning back into my life, but with little-to-no information on who I was, what I was created for, and what to do next, I began a fight that I now fight every day, the struggle to get and stay free from addiction.”— William Sessions of BFF, Inc.
To his credit, coupled with the divine calling on his life, the more that Sessions fought, the more he began to discover he had been strategically set aside for God’s use.
UNSHAKABLE FAITH — To his credit, coupled with the divine calling on his life, the more than Sessions fought, the more that he began to discover he had been strategically set aside for God’s use.
Because, after all, God was the Ultimately BFF he so desperately needed, especially during what was a dark season in his life.
“I got back in school and I created a more intense relationship with God,” said Sessions, sounding very much like a man who’s back and better than ever. “I faced much verbal abuse, persecution, and some setbacks, but with coming in contact with the right people and acquiring proven techniques and the knowledge I scarcely gained along the way, I was able to go from a homeless cocaine addict who were counted out by many only to realize that God had another plan for my life.”
And you wonder why God has, quite frankly, been Session’s Ultimately BFF from the outset — even when this addict-turned-businessman had struggled mightily to find a sense of direction in this thing called life.
Today, unlike never before, though, Sessions is fully persuaded that his calling is such that God has assigned him to reach back and help others rediscover their purpose.
AND THE BIBLE SAYS…
“That’s what I want to do with BFF…to help others put their Best Foot Forward and to also know that with BFF, we will definitely become your Best Friend Forever,” Session said.
Now that his nonprofit organization is in full operations, Sessions is now being afforded golden opportunities to share of his assortment of life-changing testimonies.
On May, 11, for instance, Sessions and his team will host a community wide event known as, “Living To Be A Better Me.”
SOLID SUPPORTING CAST — Now that his nonprofit organization is in full operations, Sessions is being afforded golden opportunities to share of his assortment of life-changing testimonies.
An event that will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. EST at Herman Park Center in nearby Goldsboro, North Carolina, professionals — particularly those who struggle with physical well-being, financial freedom, mental well-being, and spiritual enhancement — will be able to share and dine with each other, during which they will discuss how to become what Sessions calls, “a better me.”
“Everyone who wishes to thrive in 2019 needs to be present,” Sessions said.
GOD’S PLAN — Today, unlike never before, though, Sessions is fully persuaded that his calling is such that God has assigned him to reach back and help others rediscover their purpose.
Having been inspired by his uncle, Elder Levoin Troublefield, and his mentor, Clifton Smith, among others, Sessions is overwhelmingly grateful that God has strategically arranged for him to walk in his purpose — this after having pressed and persevered through arguably the darkest season of his life.
“What I like about the vision and business that God has given me is that I’m able to see lives drastically changed, because someone cared, said Sessions, whose ventures accommodates people and groups of all ages and ethnicities. “It is the greatest feeling in the world to have others come back and tell you that they were moved or positively changed by the things you’ve spoken or assisted with in their lives.”

DEFYING ALL ODDS — A native of the Bronx, New York, Jesikah Lei is the proud owner of dual businesses as the CEO of Allure-Hair & Lashes and jNewYorkBoutique.
So what exactly did Jesikah Lei do to deserve the various forms of hardships that disrupted her life and resulted in a devastating blow to her faith?
Nothing at all, to be honest.
“I’ve been homeless, raped, beaten, abused…a lot,” Lei, a New York businesswoman, told Making Headline News this week, recalling the tumultuous, emotionally-driven experiences through which she had endured long before she was blessed to become an entrepreneur.
Despite all through which she had gone, one pivotal thing remained the same.
That is, Lei never shied away from her faith in her Creator.
“God was and is my Savior,” Lei says without hesitation.
For Lei, a 42-year-old single mother of two, that certainly proved to be the case in the life of a young businesswoman, who knows full well what it’s like to diligently press and navigate her way through arguably the toughest of obstacles.
FOUGHT HER WAY THROUGH — For Lei, one favorable development had ultimately led to another, and before she knew it, jNewYorkBoutique was up and running, in full operation — all while God continued to work behind the scenes, thus preparing her a table in the presence of her enemies in the process.
Heck, even when she was forced to land a job at the tender age of was 14, God was right there.
Even when her young body was violated time and again through physical and sexual abuse, God was right there.
Even when she vacated grade school prematurely, God was right there.
Even when she had given birth to her first child as a teenage mother, God was right there.
And, amongst the things this devoted single mother-turned-businesswoman has discovered is that God is still very much right here today unlike never before.
A native of the Bronx, New York, Lei is the proud owner of dual businesses as the CEO of Allure-Hair & Lashes and jNewYorkBoutique.
Talk about making a dramatic comeback for the ages.
“I actually started my business while living in a shelter five years ago. All I had was an idea, a prayer, and a plan.” — Jesikah Lei
As it turned out, that was just about all she needed to jumpstart a business that is benefited her mightily — this after all the hell and chaos and unnecessary foolishness she had to endure.
“Once I received a call for my Section-8 apartment,” I knew at that moment God had answered my prayer,” said Lei, giving God His rightful credit. “Now, the plan? No so much, yet (Lei is laughing now) “So, I started doing my research on how to start my very own online boutique.”
And the rest, as they say, was history.
And, for Lei, one favorable development had ultimately led to another.
And before she knew it, jNewYorkBoutique was up and running and in full operations — all while God continued to work behind the scenes, thus preparing her a table in the presence of her enemies in the process.
ROUND TWO — As her Lei’s Allure venture, it is a business she established some two months ago and is still “growing in product,” Lei said.
As her Lei’s Allure venture, it is a business Lei established some two months ago and is still “growing in product,” she said.
“I joined many Facebook groups for support and learned purposes as well,” said Lei, explaining the essential steps needed to establish her business. “A new journey for a new me.”
For Lei, it was just the much-anticipated fresh start she needed, considering even during her season in the wilderness, her support system seemed practically nonexistent, she explained.
Still, when the dust had settled, God was right there — had been there, really, from the outset.
“I had to think of a plan to get myself and my son out of poverty, and I knew that fashion had always been a passion of mine, so, I decided on opening my very first online clothing boutique,” Lei said.
Much to her delight, her business went into full operations in July 2018.
Much to her delight, it had been flourishing ever since.
For the record, Lei would be the first to admit that she didn’t need anyone to feel sorry for her. Credit her idea, prayer, and a plan as the reasons why.
“I said, ‘Enough is enough,’” said Lei, explaining her motivation for choosing to turn to entrepreneurship. “I knew that God would hold me down.”
Indeed He has. He’s been holding her down ever since.
Talk about making a dramatic comeback for the ages.
“My son’s kids and granddaughter are the reason for it all,” Lei says of her sustained success as an entrepreneur. “I knew that I had to succeed and accomplish my goals.”
Today, Lei has deemed it essential to empower other girls and young ladies to never place their dreams by the wayside.
BUT GOD — “I’ve been homeless, raped, beaten, abused…a lot,” Lei, a young New York businesswoman, told Making Headline News this week, recalling the tumultuous, emotionally-driven experiences through which she had endured long before she was blessed to become an entrepreneur.
“It’s important for all females — young and old — that no matter the struggle, hurt, or pain, you can do all things through faith and (you’ve) just got to believe in yourself,” Lei said. “Someone out there is listening and will bring light into your dark days.”

DALLAS — Just after midday on Sunday, Kevin D. Walls jumpstarted the final full week of July by posing a rather thought-provoking inquiry to his somewhat sizable gallery of social media followers.
Said Walls in a Facebook post that was accompanied by a pair of inspiring hashtags: “What fear will you let go of this week?”
WALLS OF SUSTAINED SUCCESS
CARRYING OUT HIS VISION — Armed with a wealth of knowledge and experience in is surely one ever-so-competitive industry, Houston businessman Kevin Walls’ primary objective through his venture is centered largely on training people on what he deems “smart financial principles,” as well as connecting what he respectfully labels the “average person” to his financial experts as a strategic way to aid them in managing their finances much like an expert “without having to become one,” he explained.
“Well, I don’t know if it was a competitive drive, because I am competitive,” Walls, during an interview this week with Making Headline News, said when asked how did his competitive drive in life propel him for his business venture. “I think it was more so my spirit of wanting to share my financial knowledge and experiences with others so they can know that they too can win financially.”
It is, by all accounts, due in large part to his immeasurable track record as a financial guru that has greatly enabled Walls, 51, to function mightily in his distinct element as a credible retired accountant, who assumes the notable role as a financial planner.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER — Having been teaching financial principles for more than two decades, Walls has been active consistently in building networks for over 11 years.
Armed with a wealth of knowledge and experience in what is surely one ever-so-competitive industry, Walls’ primary objective through his venture is centered largely on training people on what he deems “smart financial principles,” as well as connecting what he respectfully labels the “average person” to his financial experts as a strategic way to aid them in managing their finances much like an expert “without having to become one,” he explained.
In a nutshell, what it all boils down to, Walls emphasized, is strategically devising ways to help and inspire his clients to possess and savor a carefree life, courtesy of good money management.
UNIVERSAL IMPACT — A Houston-based company that has made some favorable strides since its inception, Walls business venture services mostly individuals ranging in ages 25 to 65. Interestingly, this Houston Willowridge High School Howard University alum has had the luxury of building networks in as many as 17 U. S. states, as well as the District of Columbia, Japan and Canada.
“I love being able to help make people’s lives be better, because I think it’s the irrefutable basics of business,” Walls said. “If you’re not doing that then, in my opinion, you’re not in business.”

Interestingly, this Houston Willowridge High School and Howard University alum has had the luxury of building networks in as many as 17 U. S. states, as well as the District of Columbia, Japan and Canada.
Talk about having an international impact — this after, well, letting go of his fears way back when.
“If I could only share one thing with you about me, it would be that I believe in the value of relationships. I genuinely love people. I believe there is only one business on Planet Earth — making someone’s life better.”— Houston Businessman Kevin Walls
That, after all, practically sums up why achieving customer services goals and objectives is extremely vital to Walls, who credits Jesus Christ, his wife, Esther, as well as a host of friends and loved ones — most notably Jim Rohn, Dexter Yager, John Cummuta, Les Brown, Brian House, Terrance Hawkins, Tim Sales, Jordan Goodman, and Robert Kiyosaki — as amongst those who have inspired him to go forth with his business-related dreams and ambitions.
“I am also very diligent about my commitment to deliver extraordinary results for those I choose to work with,” Walls said. “Spectacular and life-changing results are what I help people achieve. Anything short of that is unacceptable to me. I take this commitment and relationship very seriously. Because of this I will also expect a serious commitment from those I work with as well — in effort and investment.”
WE ARE FAMILY
FAMILY-LIKE ATMOSPHERE — “I love being able to help make people’s lives be better, because I think it’s the irrefutable basics of business,” Walls said. “If you’re not doing that then, in my opinion, you’re not in business.”
Having been teaching financial principles for more than two decades, Walls has been actively consistent in building networks for over 11 years, he said.
In addition, he host a weekly financial webinar event that airs every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. CST at MakeWealthRealWebinar.com.
“I just feel like a person can succeed financially,” Walls said. “People just need to be aware and learn financial principles conceptionally and then be given affordable access to experts that execute their financial plan for them. People are lying to them and it’s costing them a fortune.
MAN ON A MISSION
MAKING MUCH NOISE — A Houston-based company that has made some favorable strides since its inception, Walls business venture services mostly individuals ranging in ages 25 to 65.
“I know that’s a bold statement. I know that it’s not their fault that they are in the financial state they are in,” Walls continued. “They have cleverly been seduced by the Alliance of 4, using a process call AIDA. I feel it’s my fiduciary duty to not only bring awareness, but also an affordable solution.”
All the while greatly empowering people on the importance of letting go of fear.
This week and beyond.

DALLAS — Although the first month of the New Year is about reach its midway point, 2019 is already shaping up to be a rather memorable, festive, banner one for Tyneisha Renai Collins.
For starters, Collins will welcome in her 30th birthday on Monday during a celebratory party with a gallery of loved ones, friends, and close acquaintances.
As if that isn’t enough to bring to all smiles this beloved Arkansas educator and the 2017 Making Headline News Woman of the Year, Collins will witness the much anticipated release of her second book entitled, “I AM QUEEN ENOUGH.”
PRESENCE OF ROYALTY
SEASON OF THE REBIRTH — Although the first month of the New Year is about reach its midway point, 2019 is already shaping up to be a rather memorable, festive, banner one for Tyneisha Renai Collins, the mastermind behind her newly-produced book entitled, “I AM QUEEN ENOUGH.”
A written work that is comprised of a 136-page paperback and 91-page eBook edition, Collins’ sophomore book will debut nearly two years after the release of “I AM QUEEN,” her 194-page initial project that sold in unprecedented numbers and gave way to this Bronx, New York native being the beneficiary of a number of awards and accolades in the process.
“In my first book, I declared that ‘I AM QUEEN’ which sparked a huge movement amongst Queens all over the world,” Collins told Making Headline News during a weekend interview. “Now in the second book, not only am I declaring once again that ‘I AM QUEEN,’ I am also declaring that ‘I AM QUEEN ENOUGH’ to persevere through any and everything.”
A MUST READ —A written work that is comprised of a 136-page paperback and 91-page eBook edition, Collins’ sophomore book will debut nearly two years after the release of “I AM QUEEN,” her 194-page initial project that sold in unprecedented numbers and gave way to this Bronx, New York native being the beneficiary of a number of awards and accolades in the process.
Just like during her ceremonious authorship debut when she created a national buzz through “I AM QUEEN,” Collins’ latest project figures to attract a similar response.
“Tyneisha’s first book has spawned the occurrence of her second book being presented to not only divulge a previously unknown situation, but Tyneisha implodes and explodes in ways that not only confirm her first book’s revelation knowledge, but also through her courage and due diligence she deals with the good, the not so good, and the not so pretty, taking it all in and fully understanding where to go and exactly what to do,” said a spokesperson for Collins’ book at Amazon.com.
“Read, remember, and enjoy, then realize and know it, too, that we all, —whether male or female — can persevere and become and KINGS ENOUGH and QUEENS ENOUGH when we look to our Father, the Lord Jesus Christ in spirit and truth.”
All things considered, Collins, who can greatly attest to what it’s like to press and navigate through arguably the toughest of hardships, emphasized, among other things, that her latest book is a continuation of the her God-mandated assignment.
WALKING IN HER DESTINY — Having commenced to constructing I AM QUEEN ENOUGH in January 2018, Collins need somewhere in the neighborhood of nine months to write her latest book as the manuscript was complete in September 2018.
“The single most underlying reason why I chose to produce this book is because I am a child of God that strives to do God’s work. I saw the tremendous impact that my first book, ‘I AM QUEEN,’ had on Queens all over the world, and I wanted to continue to inspire more Queens through my own life and mind blowing transparency.”— Author Tyneisha Renai Collins
To her credit, Collins wasted little time assembling Book No. 2.
Having commenced to constructing I AM QUEEN ENOUGH in January 2018, Collins need somewhere in the neighborhood of nine months to write her latest book as the manuscript was complete in September 2018.
GOD-ORDERED STEPS — Having commenced to constructing I AM QUEEN ENOUGH in January 2018, Collins need somewhere in the neighborhood of nine months to write her latest book as the manuscript was complete in September 2018.
“I like to take my time when writing and strategically mapping out how I’m going to reach my readings and properly convey my overall message, which takes a lot of prayer and seeking God through it all,” Collins said.
Much to her delight, God certainly guided her mightily through her newest published project just as He had done in the previous one.
Which, to Collins’ credit, has only added to what figures to be a year to remember, considering along with turning 30 and witnessing the release of a new book on January 14, she will be exchanging nuptials with CJay Reed, the love of her life later this year.
HIS QUEEN, HER KING
LOVE AND MARRIAGE — Much to her delight, God certainly guided her mightily through her newest published project just as He had done in the previous. Which, to Collins’ credit, has only added to what figures to be a year to remember, considering along with turning 30 and witnessing the release of a new book on January, she will be exchanging nuptials with CJay Reed, the love of her life later this year.
“My supporters have expressed their excitement about my new book, because in my first book, I left some questions unanswered about my personal life, which led to them being very anxious to read my new book,” Collins, who teaches at Osceola North Elementary School, explained. “My new book lines up with my purpose, because I believe that it will touch just as many lives as my first book. My ultimate purpose in life is to help others become a better version of themselves and because of my obedience and transparency in my books, I truly believe I will always be able to reach QUEENs all over the world.”
LEAST SHE FORGET — Having pressed and navigated her way through an assortment of hurtful, tear-jerking encounters, Collins, to her credit, thought it essential to tell of her life-enhancing, awe-inspiring testimonies in her first book entitled, “I AM QUEEN.” The book was officially released in March 2017.
As for whether her reading audience can expect a third book, while Collins didn’t announce that something of that nature is set in stone, she surely hasn’t totally ruled it out either.
“In regards to writing other books, only God knows what the future holds for me,” Collins said. “But I will say this: if God gives me an assignment to write another book, I will honor His wishes and write another book.”
Then again, Collins essentially sounded very much like someone who just might have another published book in her spirit, given all through which she has gone and had to overcome and conquered.
JUST NEVER KNOW — As for whether her reading audience can expect a third book, while Collins didn’t announce that something of that nature is set in stone, she hasn’t totally ruled it out either.
“I am an overcomer of low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, and rejection,” Collins said. “I will be 30 on January 14 and to celebrate reaching such a monumental milestone in my life that I didn’t never thought I was going to reach, I have decided to gift (my supporters) with my new book.
“Most people buy a house, take an amazing trip, or do something they have never done for their 30th birthday, but in true QUEEN fashion, I had to go into my 30th year in the most unique way — QUEEN style by simply choosing to invest in myself and the world with my second book, ‘I AM QUEEN ENOUGH.’”

And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, so he may run that reads it.(Habakkuk 2:2 KJV)
DALLAS — Some time ago, God gave Christale Thompson a life-changing vision.
Eight years ago to be technical.
According to scripture, “eight,” by all accounts, signifies a “new beginning.”
GOD-INSPIRED VISION
DESTINY STEPS UNFOLDING — Christale Thompson has made some pretty immeasurable strides as the owner and CEO of Jeanelle Decor And Event Stylist, her Dallas-Fort Worth-area venture that is centered on ensuring that each of clients are stress free and, as she appropriately acknowledged, comes away, “knowing that their dreams have come to life.”
For Thompson, her much-anticipated and well-deserved “new beginning” has benefited her mightily, particularly as a flourishing entrepreneur.
“I have been decorating homes and events for eight years now,” Thompson, 36, told Making Headline News this week.
STYLIN’ AND PROFILIN’
And, to her distinctly unique credit, coupled with the purpose for which God has created her, Thompson has made some pretty immeasurable strides as the owner and CEO of Jeanelle Decor And Event Stylist, her Dallas-Fort Worth-area venture that is centered on ensuring that each of clients are stress free and, as she appropriately acknowledged, comes away, “knowing that their dreams have come to life.”
THING OF BEAUTY
MASSIVE SUPPORT — A progressive business that caters to people and groups of all ages, Jeanelle Decor And Event Stylist had come full circle, in part because of Thompson’s solid support system that’s comprised of a gallery of loved one, close friends, and acquaintances.
A native of Eudora, Arkansas, a Southern Chicot County town that is comprised of roughly 2,269 residents according to latest U. S. census, Thompson’s Jeanelle Decor And Event Stylist has given way to this resourceful businesswoman emerging as one of the finest and most efficient event designers in the DFW Metroplex.
PURE ELEGANCE
ONE WOW MOMENT — A native of Eudora, Arkansas, a Southern Chicot County town that is comprised of roughly 2,269 residents according to latest U. S. census, Thompson’s Jeanelle Decor And Event Stylist has given way to this resourceful businesswoman emerging as one of the finest and most efficient event designers in the DFW Metroplex.
As Thompson — who’s widely known as Jeanelle Chris — explained, her steadfast commitment to exceeding her customers’ expectations has given way of sustained success for a business she hopes generates more of a national presence, much sooner than later.
“I love to meet and interact with people. I love to see the reaction on their faces when they see their dreams come to life. It keeps me going.”— Dallas/Fort Worth Entrepreneur Christale Thompson
A progressive business that caters to people and groups of all ages, Jeanelle Decor And Event Stylist had come full circle, in part because of Thompson’s solid support system that’s comprised of a gallery of loved one, close friends, and acquaintances.
“I want to thank Janice Thompson, Kim Dalcour, Shirkari Campbell, First Lady Melonye Batson, and my daughters for believing in me when I was too shy to believe in myself,” said Thompson, who will be hosting her inaugural “God’s Vision” board party in March at a date to be announced.
Now that she’s a little more than eight years in on an event designing business that undoubtedly is aligned with her God-mandated purpose, this young entrepreneur is especially appreciative of the fact that her vision is steadily coming full circle.
Just as God had planned all along.
“It’s important that I inspire others daily by being humble and respectful,” said Thompson, a graduate of Eudora High School and a former student at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (or UAPB). “(It’s important to) let them know that this little black girl from Arkansas rock and will not stop at nothing.”
Now that she’s diligently working her vision through the ever-so-competitive entrepreneurship industry, Thompson doesn’t shy away from the notion that it is her civic duty to reach back and inspire others to follow suit, thus maximize their potential through their gifts.
Just as she’s doing — with God, her Helper, steering the way.
“Follow your dreams and step out on faith,” said Thompson, offering some worthy advice to aspiring entrepreneurs. God got me the rest of the way.”
Indeed He does.
Eight years and counting.

EDITOR’S NOTE:This story on Dallas/Fort Worth businesswoman LaTambria Smith was originally published by Making Headline News on October 11, 2017. Since the release of this story, Smith, a Dallas Skyline High graduate, has announced that she will be releasing a book that will recall her assortment of emotional testimonies, as well as host an empowerment conference that will take place at a date to be announced.
DALLAS — Back on February 8, one day before her 33rd birthday, LaTambria Smith staged to her Facebook page a rather descriptive and touching image that detailed a timeline of arguably the most challenging and tear-jerking moments of her young life.
For starters, Smith underwent surgery to have her cancer cells removed from her cervix in 2007.
DEFYING ALL ODDS
SHE’S STILL STANDING — Dallas-area businesswoman LaTambria Smith is owner of Tam’s Sweet Treats And More, a professionally run DFW-based professional baking business in which Smith specializes in preparing a variety of delectable, mouth-watering desserts.
Approximately a year later, she had a pre-eclampsia, or an emergency C-Section performed, a procedure that gave way to her child being 25 weeks prematurely and weighing just one pound, six ounces.
Two years later, doctors removed cancer cells from her cervix only to have a similar procedure performed the following year.
Then in 2012, Smith had to have another emergency C-Section performed, during which she had given birth to her baby at 23 weeks, a child whom weighed 14 ounces.
THESE CAKES ARE LIT — A business Smith established approximately three years ago, Tam’s Sweet Treats And More is widely known for providing consumers with a variety of sweets, most notably cakes, teacakes, chocolate covered sweets and its famous cupcakes.
Consequently, things would become even more somber in the life of a young woman whose faith undoubtedly was on trial unlike never before.
That’s because later that year, doctors had discovered a softball-size tumor in Smith’s stomach during the C-section. Unfortunately, Smith’s baby passed away three weeks later after a month-and-a-half stay in the NICU. Consequently, she underwent successful surgery, during which she had the tumor removed.
Then in 2015, Smith was hit with more disheartening news when she got word that she had a leaking heart valve due to high blood pressure.
ALL OCCASIONS CAKES AND TREATS — You name it and chances are Smith — this professional baking guru — will hook you up regardless of the occasion.
As if those slew of obstacles weren’t enough to try Smith’s faith, she learned some time last year that the nerves behind both of her eyes were swollen twice their normal size, in large part because doctors discovered excessive fluid around her brain.
While such a heartbreaking sequence of events would bring even the strongest of persons to tears, Smith deemed it essential to end the timeline image with four words that, despite an assortment of potentially fatal occurrences, practically explains why she’s the blessed woman for whom she is widely known.
REMEMBERING AMARI
In 2013, doctors had discovered a softball-size tumor in Smith’s stomach during the C-section. Unfortunately, Smith’s baby passed away three weeks later after a month-and-a-half stay in the NICU. Consequently, she underwent successful surgery, during which she had the tumor removed.
“AND I’M STILL STANDING,” Smith staged to an image that was accompanied by three exclamation points.
All things considered and because of what she had to survive, Smith doesn’t shy away from the notion that while she’s yet breathing, she might as well live life to the fullest — while walking in purpose through entrepreneurship in the process.
“To me this is not only a business, but a passion,” Smith told Making Headline News.
You name it and chances are this professional baking guru will hook you up regardless of the occasion.
A business she established approximately three years ago, Tam’s Sweet Treats And More is widely known for providing consumers with a variety of sweets, most notably cakes, teacakes, chocolate covered sweets and its famous cupcakes.
TAM’S TEXAS TWO STEP
HER REASONS — All things considered and because of what she had to survive, Smith doesn’t shy away from the notion that while she’s yet breathing, she might as well live life to the fullest — while walking in purpose through entrepreneurship in the process. Pictured with Smith in a recent photo from the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis are her daughters: Amaiyah Ross, 11 (left), and Mariah Ross, 10.
“I started in the kitchen with my grandmother as a child and learned as much as I could. I took all that knowledge and carried it over to my adult life. I first thought I would just do it for my girls, but the more I tried and accomplished, the more I pushed myself and here we are now.”— Dallas Entrepreneur LaTambria Smith
Talk about a dramatic comeback to ultimately start and manage a business amid a rash of agonizing setbacks.
“To have my girls watch and encourage me pushes me even more, because I know my passion and drive is a lesson for them as they grow,” Smith said while flashing her big, signature smile.
How befitting to put on display a well-deserved smile, this after having conquered and outlasted and defied arguably the greatest of odds time and time again.
