One thing that I love to tell other people about me is that I am a child of God. I thank God every day that there is a God and for saving me from myself. Felecia: The fact that you quit your job and stepped out on faith to start your business is amazing. Can you tell me just a little bit about that? ● It’s so funny because when I first started my business, I didn't really believe in God like that. At that time, which was in 2021 I was very young and very lost. But I started to have. this idea of starting a black doll company that I could not get out of my head. And because I was a broke college student, and knew that it was such a great business idea, I started to really go for it lol. But in th

  Written By:Felecia Causey Models:Deja and Destinee Carroll I wanted to write this blog after scrolling on my timeline and hearing parents' concern about the experience they have had with a school or teacher.  As I recall some of my horrible experiences with some of my kids' teachers. I think last year was one of the most trying years. My husband and I have always told the kids you do your part and if it’s not making a change or we don’t see a change we will step in. If you don’t protect your kids' future, push them to work hard, or be their voice, I can tell you know one else will. We first must tell them to do what they need to do, be respectful, study hard, and ask questions.  Although schools have the mission statement, “No child left behind”, the question is are all the adults working in the school system feel this way.  Before I go into a couple of my experiences, I would first like to say that I respect many teachers, and I believe that they are underpaid and unap

Many young girls get bullied by their peers because the bullies are jealous or even intimidated by her uniqueness. As parents, teaching our kids that they are worthy and enough is so crucial. With the rise of kids committing suicide, it’s really disturbing that not only are kids' bullies, but also adult, like teachers, family members, and sadly sometimes even parents.   Why does it matter what color a person's skin color is or how they look? Although de

Written By: Felecia Causey Photography By:Felecia Causey Model/Featured: Quintasia I came across this young lady's story on her mom's Facebook page, and I knew instantly I wanted to share her story on my blog. I could imagine the emotions that her and her mother went through. They had to come against this new struggle and fight for something that’s very important to a woman and a young girl. In a place where how you look is very important. Most women feel like their hair is everything. We live in a country where billions of dollars are being used on hair products, hair services and more. When this young lady thought it was just a piece of hair coming and didn’t understand what was going on I’m sure she was scared and confused. Then a mother sees and does not instantly know what is going on. I'm sure she instantly becomes frightened of what she has to do for her daughter. After the visit to a specialist, they diagnosed that she has alopecia. As any mother her first thought w

The day he was born I was with my older two children doing their online therapies. I went to the bathroom where I had a little bleeding. I called my doctor where I was told to come get checked out. Of course, I wasn’t in pain, so I decided to get my children together and make plans for them and then my husband who was in the academy came home on his lunch break to take me to the hospital. We got up the stairs and the nurse checked me out where she said I was in labor, and the baby was coming “today”. I immediately started to cry and ask for a second opinion. The second nurse came in and said we have to get you to labor and delivery now, I can see his head. From that moment until he came out was 9 mins. He was diagnosed with a bpd and under-developed lungs. He stayed in the NICU for over 3 months, and he had to go home on ox

  Photography By:Felecia Causey Written By: Felecia Causey Thanks so much to all the beautiful little princess and their parents!! In a world where the color of someone’s skin plays a major role in something as simple as a fictional character. Growing up I never cared about the beautiful princesses' ethnicity because it didn’t matter. As many of us as children we enjoyed the singing, the dancing, and the lesson from the movies .  We didn’t care if the character was pink, blue, red, black, white, or green because that’s not what we saw first. Recently I found out one of my favorite cartoons, The Little Mermaid, will be shown in live action, and instantly the child in me became super excited.  I was happy that one of my childhood favorites movies, I would be able to watch it with my daughter.  As the reveal of the casted mermaid and the preview trailer came out, the ugly behavior of people both old and young had social media and the web roaring with hateful backlash.  As I watch thes
