APPRECIATE YOU FOR MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE!
SHERWIN ROACH
ESDIAR
Entertainment
I met
Sherwin about two years ago. I was
walking back to work after my lunch break when I saw him taking pictures of
birds. He had a big camera and as I was
walking past I thought to myself, “Girl, you know you’re going to need a photographer!” I turned around, ran to him, spoke for a few
minutes, and he gave me his business card.
We had a meeting, noticed we had common goals and I noticed his
strengths where I had weaknesses. He was
someone I knew I had to work with. Time
passed and our schedules prevented us from getting together to create magic but
with time and lot’s of patience, God made it possible for us to come together
to create a beautiful project for breast cancer. We are just getting started but between his
projects and mine; you are sure to see great works from a wonderful mastermind,
Mr. Sherwin Roach! I thank you Nah’Sheem and look forward to what God has in
store for us!
KELLEN
MARIE
When I was looking for a salon to shoot my public service announcement,
Kellen was the first person to contact me.
She told me she knew a person that owned a salon with a breast cancer
theme. She spoke with the owner,
connected us, and a meeting was set! Had
it not been for Kellen’s caring heart, the PSA would have been shot in a nice
place but not the perfect place! Kellen,
I thank God for you and look forward to working with you in the future!
DREW &
PRO CUTS ATL CREW
905 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive
ATLANTA, GA 30314
Kellen connected me with Drew, the co-owner of Pro Cuts Atl. We spoke on the phone and a few days later I met
with him at the barbershop/salon. He was
very receptive to my plans to shoot the psa and decided to tie it in with his
breast cancer themed salon, Pro Cuts ATL DIVAS.
His goal is to have breast cancer information in the salon to give to
the men and women in the community. Like
me, Drew believes that it takes a village to get things done and reach one,
teach one! He recognizes that breast
cancer is still a condition that is not widely discussed in the black
community. Once he committed himself and
barbershop/salon to the project, his entire staff was on board. They were willing to help in any way
possible. I thank the staff at Pro
Cuts. I plan on being a permanent
customer because when you’re at Pro Cuts, you’re at home.
COLA &
PRO CUTS ATL DIVAS
905 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive
ATLANTA, GA 30314
When
the original hairstylist wasn’t available, I received a call from Miss
Cola. Her enthusiasm shined through the
phone. She told me that she would love
to participate in the psa and after our conversation I looked forward to
meeting her. When I walked into the
salon, Cola knew it was me and gave me a warm heartfelt greeting. It felt as if I was meeting a family member
for the first time. After speaking I
realized how passionate she was about breast
cancer and alopecia. She wants all her
client to look and feel beautiful. She
pays attention and goes above and beyond for her clients. The hours I spent at Pro Cuts ATL DIVAS were
the best I’ve ever had at a salon. There
is a positive energy there and I encourage you to make an appointment. While Cola does cater to the needs of people
with cancer and alopecia; she serves everyone.
Natural hair, weaves, eyebrows, and lashes are her specialty. I thank you Cola for the treasured experience
and I look forward to a long professional relationship.
TAMMY & ROBERT BOLTON-
THE PINK FROG FOUNDATION INC
When I posted the need
for volunteers for my event, Robert and Tammy Bolton jumped in to help. I went
on their website, read their mission statement and knew they would be great
assets to our breast cancer public service announcement. The weekend of our shoot was a busy one and
even though Miss Tammy had a prior engagement; she still stopped by and we were
able to get great footage. She also met
with the breast cancer survivors and they had a very pleasant conversation. I thank Miss Tammy and Robert Brown for their
time and the beautiful things they are doing for breast cancer. I will volunteer if they need me and look
forward to a working with The Pink Frog Foundation in the future.
Reel Talk Rajheem Tv
Show
When
Rajheem found out what I was doing he was on board. We exchanged numbers, had a brief
conversation and I was emailing him my information. He wanted to interview me for his show and
while I like being in the background, I knew it was a positive thing to
do. When Rajheem arrived he brought a
very positive energy with him. His
personality brightens things up and he makes the most uncomfortable person feel
comfortable. We had to do several takes
because my nerves were shot but Rajheem was able to put me at ease and he
conducted a wonderful interview. I love the passion he
has for the things he believes in. I
look forward to working with him again in the future. Rajheem, I thank you for participating in my
public service announcement for breast cancer and wish you well on all of your
endeavors.
Finally, I would like
to thank Miss Brown and the other survivors for sharing their stories. Knowing they have survived such a terrible
disease gave everyone that participated hope! They love God, are beautiful, and
are living full lives.
There is life after breast cancer and together
we can work on prevention and treatment.
