Thankfully, life has been so busy with brides, events, the premiere of I Do Over, new ventures, new explorations and making time to take care of my family. However, earlier this year I stopped, called and introduced myself to Jacqueline Nwobu, the publisher of Munaluchi Bride after stumbling upon the gorgeous but obviously different cover that featured actress La La Anthony. As another brown girl in the wedding industry, I felt compelled to simply call and say hello because we needed to know each other. I shared my excitement for her and how much pride I felt knowing that she was leading her own charge to change our industry for the better – level out the playing fields just a bit in terms of bridal publications. We instantly bonded and I shared that I was not in search of anything but offered a helpful hand along her journey. If there was anything I could do, I would always make myself available to her. Before I could make good on my promise, she surprised me by offering the following feature to introduce Diann Valentine and I Do Over to her readers.
Maturity has taught me that whatever we put out into the world – the same energy will come back to us…guaranteed! Spread a little love because it is definitely contagious! For more information on Munaluchi Bride, please visit www.munaluchibridal.com.
My life has not been easy nor my journey smooth, but I know that if I simply continue to walk in my truth of love, faith and excellence – God will do the rest!
Keep spreading the love,
Thanks so much for the kind words Diann! I truly love what you do and your energy is so positive. Keep rising!
Such a beautiful post, Diann! I too, am very exited and proud of both you and Munaluchi Bride Magazine. I look forward to change and equality in the bridal industry. You and Jackie are creating some amazing footsteps.
