Here’s a few close-ups. It’s been 8 months since I had my sisterlocks put in and as you can see my hair is no where near locked! I still haven’t found anyone with my hair texture yet (besides my dad, lol)…. By the way, there are no products on my hair. Just spritz with a little water, shake & go  |

Lesson Learned: Why use the Creamy Crack (relaxers/perms) when your hair can be this beautiful NAPPturally? All it does it weaken your hair and burn your scalp.
A few weeks ago I had a brilliant idea to start a business. I’ll rewind to get you up to speed….
So I’ve been working as a research associate managing a breast cancer research study at a local research institution. Since I’ve been there I’ve picked up many skills and I’m glad that I decided to work after graduating with my BS rather than moving back home with my parents. I’ve always been interested in learning more about computer programming, which I had the opportunity to learn. No, it wasn’t part of my job description, but I felt that in order for me to perform my job most efficiently I needed a custom database/programming interface to manage all of the data that I was working with on a daily basis. So after ~6 months of finally getting everything to work as I saw it in my mind, I was very excited to show it to my managers at work. They were extremely impressed at the functionality and how user-friendly it was to use. My boss was so impressed that she asked me if I would leave a template of the program before I left (for graduate school) so that they can use it for other research studies as well. Initially I told her that it would be no problem, but then something eventually dawned on me.
I had a bright idea to start my own business providing support to companies who need to manage large sets of data. I’ve been working on my bright idea since then and I will initially operate under my father’s corporation, Ciabranel Enterprises, Inc. My subdivision will be called Ciabranel D.A.T.A. (Design and Technology Associates).The great news today is that I spoke with my supervisor (not specific at all, but just enough so she understood where I was coming from) and she let me know that they would have no problem setting my company up as a vendor to provide services after I officially resign (since I won’t be able to do it as an employee). I am so excited!
Lesson Learned: Don’t let a good opportunity go to waste.
