What has been your recent involvement in charity and how does it impact the community?
I've always sought out different organizations, groups or individuals to donate or host fundraisers for. The Blessing is, I come from a giving family so being able to give back comes naturally. A few months ago, I was given the honored of being asked to be a Love Ambassador for “Love Jones Foundation”. It was founded by the legendary R&B singer, Glenn Jones. I grew up loving many of his songs and attending his concerts. Therefore, knowing his foundation gives kids and Seniors the opportunities to enjoy live music and Glenn actually taking the time to visit the Seniors, perform and raise money, It was a no brainer. The other Charity organization I've chosen to donate to is “Little Fannies Heavenly Housing.” I've chosen this charity organization because not only it's mission touched me, the Owners are like my family members. Any of us at any given time could become homeless or has known someone who's been homeless. I believe that any and everyone deserves a chance to know that someone is giving genuine help and assistance to them. I'd also like to say the effects on the community would be when I host my events these organizations would also support me. I've said many times...it's a Blessing to be a Blessing!

What have been some of the things your hiatus has helped you to accomplish?
I wouldn't call it a hiatus. I'd like to call it an alignment. My spirit had to be realigned with my purpose! Now, I'm more focused and aligned mentally, creatively, spiritually and soulfully! Sometimes life starts moving faster than your thoughts and you have to step back and reconnect. There’s many reasons I use my Circles and or Handprints. The Circle is to keep me grounded and know to keep people in my space that’s on the same page as I am. Keep the circle protected as well as knowing that everyone one and everything is not allowed there. Also, it keeps me aligned to know whatever was Great will be Great again. What are some of your immediate goals for your businesses and how does this affect that? My immediate goals for FeFeDesigns would be to have community events held at my Studio in Crete, where the surrounding neighbors understand they don't have to travel miles to attend events that will happen right in their own neighborhood.
Why do you feel obligated to "make a change" and have an impact on the greater good of people/the industry?
My first obligation is seeing others happy and succeeding! Therefore, I'd like to say that if I could soften the ground for someone else to succeed without the blood, sweat, tears, lies and roadblocks I've been through, that would be true success.
What words of wisdom you would like to share with everyone that's reading this?
I'm an extremely Spiritual person and believe that more things in life happens for the good when you have good energy around you. It's mandatory you protect your spiritual space and not allow everyone in. Do your best to stay at a steady pace where your spirit aligns with your purpose. Getting out of your own space slides up on you sometimes and you have to look around and evaluate your own energy then clear it up. I believe when you walk in a room, your SPIRIT and ENERGY should speak to you and for you before you open your mouth. Lastly, always stay true to yourself.
What are some things readers should look out for from you?
I have a couple of new lines coming out I can't wait to show you at the relaunch May 11th 2p-6p at my Studio. Also, I will be starting my own not-for-profit organization! So, stay tuned.
