Welcome 2 Bedlam (The hottest sunglasses in the universe)

As a lover of sunglasses I was ecstatic to find this awesome sunglass company BEDLAM. I wasn't happy about sharing my exclusive sunglass find with Everyone (sometimes a girl likes to keep a few fashion secrets 😉)

I had a change of heart because as a buisness woman  I know that word of mouth is everything and this company is so phenomenal I would love to see it prosper. 

 Black Wall street picked the brain of  Ms. Bettie Sixx about her brainchild. So without further ado WELCOME 2 BEDLAM. 

BW-Can you tell us about your company bedlam and what sparked you to use such a unique name? 

BL-began Bedlam in October of 2010 with my business partner B.Hall. I have been making accessories and embellishing glasses since I was a junior in high school, so for about a million years now, lol. I started embellishing glasses because I actually wear prescription glasses and I used to be teased for it or told that I would be "prettier without glasses," So instead of conforming and asking for contact lenses I decided to start embellishing my own glasses and I just fell in love with it. 

    

   When I decided to make a business out of what I do, I wanted a name that reflected my personality and style sense. I am a little crazy, weird, awkward, abnormal, eccentric, whatever you want to call it, lol, but I still love very beautiful things so I needed a name that embodied all of that. I was going through a thesaurus with a close friend of mine and we stumbled across the word Bedlam, which means the place of uproar and noise; beautiful chaos. And that stuck. I think that "beautiful chaos" is the perfect description for the type of woman that I am and many other women as well.  

BW-What does bedlam sale?

BL- we sell custom embellished eyewear, shoulder eppaulettes, ties and bow ties. We used to sell many other types of accessories but we've decided to hone in on our perfected skills. Also there are so many other great earring makers out of the bay area and we really want to offer something aside from that. 

BW-Who is Bedlams ideal customer? 

BL-Bedlam's ideal customer is someone who is abnormal and they relish in their abnormalities.

BW-What made you start your own company?

BL- Honestly, peer pressure, lol. I really had no desire to make a business out of what I do but my family and friends kept pressuring me into do it. I am very introverted person and I am sort of a recluse so I really wasn't looking forward to the wave of popularity I received, but at the end of the day I am glad that I took their advice. I love Bedlam and all of the Bedlamaniacs. I wouldn't trade it for the world. 

> Thank you for giving a little insight into this amazing brand

Behind the lens with Al Cole

Welcome to Black-Wallstreets interview with the man behind the lens Al Cole. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Cole on a photo shoot and was so pleased with the results that I want to share him with the world. So if your looking for a photographer he's your man.

 BW- Can you tell us a little about yourself and  How did you first get involved in photography?

AC- Born in New York City, raised in Harlem as an only child…  Alfonza Coleman III aka “Al,” had a passion for the arts & crafts at a very young age.  He especially loved drawing.  A trait inherited from his late grandmother J.H. Blades & his Uncle Ivan.  He spent many weekends with his grandmother and she enabled him to express himself through his artwork.  His Uncle Ivan, often sent him customized gift cards for his birthday, holidays and just because he felt like it – his Uncle being a very talented artist himself.  Al was just a natural; he had a natural eye and could create masterpieces from sight or from memory.

Later on in life, he attended high school at A. Philip Randolph CHS and in his senior year he met and befriended his photography & art class teacher Mr. Biles.  He was a top student in both his classes and then Al joined the yearbook committee that Mr. Biles supervised as the photo editor and was given his first camera, a simple Canon Digital 5.0 MP.  It was love at first click for Al; the yearbook was a huge success.  Al was around for every event; some students even nicknamed him “Mr. Paparazzi,” because he was always around clicking.  This love affair continued, and he carried it to college at Tompkins Cortland Community College in Dryden, New York.  He studied Digital Photography A.S.

Five years later and after a lengthy photography sabbatical… he purchased his first DSLR Camera, a used Canon EOS Rebel XS from a co-worker who was upgrading his own camera equipment.  It was the perfect start up camera to rekindle his love for photography.  Wasting no time, he jumped head first into his very first project as the set photographer for a movie called “Love, Sex & Kung Fu,” written and executive produced by his martial arts instructor, Professor Mahaliel Bethea Sr. better known in the entertainment world as “Sensei Mo.”  He was nervous at first and had forgotten a lot about the basic functions of a REAL camera, but he was determined and he re-taught himself through trial and error. Fortunately, his EYE for THE SHOT never left him.  His photos for the movies were a huge hit among all those involved with the project, and a lot of work followed.

In early 2011, he started Alcole Photography on facebook, twitter & Model Mayhem.  From models, to actors, athletes, makeup artists, hairstylists, designers and just people that wanted to work with his brand.  Alcole Photography is building a name for himself.  He takes a personal approach to his business.  It’s all about building valuable relationships with his clients.  He understands the importance of delivering more than a just a pretty picture… The job is to communicate a specific message to a predetermined audience in a way that will stand out and get noticeable results.  That is what visual communication is all about.  His shoots are fun, chill & creative.  He offers direction in both posing and expression, patiently walking you through the shoot and no matter what your experience level to make sure you rock it.  Not just his shoot, but the next one as well.

BW- What do you find most challenging about photography? 

AC-The business side of it is challenging, there are times I wish I didn't have to deal with it. The paperwork, the followup, collecting money, being a bill collector, etc. I'm the CEO, COO, & CFO and all their Executive Assistants rolled into one package. I just want to SHOOT!!! LoL

BW-What is your fantasy shoot?

AC- I love a creative shoot where everything is in place, my favorite model is Angel Reigns, makeup artist is Josiah Immanuel Irby & EloStyleGuru on the Styling... Give us a dope location and we will take care of the rest.

BW- Thank you for giving a little insight into the man behind the camera.

 How can potential clients contact you for photo shoots?  

AC- FB/ IG/Business email?

Your favorite authors, favorite author. Mr David L

I want to highlight one of my favorite authors David L. He has written numerous books 5 to be exact 
1.  Chalk outline confessions.
2. Over your dead body.
3. My life is a movie
4. Represent.
5. Chalk outline confessions ( the remix).

I think you should support the brother because he is a great author. I have read all of his books and love them. I guarantee the read  will be worth your while.

Here is a conversation to get to know the man behind the pen.  
Black Wallstreets interview with  David L.

BW-Can you tell us a little about yourself?
DL.- David L. is much more than an author.  He is the CEO/President of his own publishing company, long time New York Knicks and Giants fan, native of planet Brooklyn, NY, and enjoys spending his free time playing Madden football on his X-box, watching re-runs of Married with Children, and spending time with friends and family.

BW- What sparked your interest to write books?
DL-Being the owner of an incredibly wild imagination sparked my interest in writing books!  Instead of sitting back complaining about how a movie could've been better, I instead would visualize how to actually create a new storyline using the previous blueprint.  Many storylines that I watched growing up did not have accurate representation from an African-American perspective so I created my own storylines in my head.  About a decade ago, I finally began putting my thoughts onto paper and the rest is history.

BW-  What do you find most challenging about writing?
DL-The most challenging aspect of writing is the promotional aspect required to make your writing careeer successful.  These days, everyone is calling themselves a writer, thus opening up the market for more "fly by night" wannabes.  True promotion requires diligence and time, ultimately taking away from the time required to write a novel.

BW- What made you start a publication company?
DL-I began my publiction company out of necessity because when I first began writing my first title, I sent my manuscript to well over 100+ agents and publishing companies.  After ongoing rejection letters, I decided to put it out myself.  Once I became a known name in the literary industry, many of those same agents and publishing houses began reaching out to me for representation.

BW- If up and coming writers were interested in publishing with you how would they go about it?
DL- Up and coming writers should visit my website at: www.totalpackagepublications.com in order to inquire about a writing career.  There they will see a step by step guide on how to forward their manuscript to one of my many reviewers.

Everyone should have A1 credit. So if your credits horrible follow these tips.

Obtaining great credit is pretty easy if you have the right tools.
1. Obtain a free credit report from www.annualcreditreport.com (no credit card info needed)
2. Dispute EVERYTHING. Most people don't know that these agencies that call and harass you have to prove that you owe them money so dispute it.
3. Write a pay to delete letter. Basically your telling the credit agency that I am not taking responsibility for this debt however if you can prove it's mines I will pay the debt but  your company has  to take it off my credit report COMPLETELY. Not list it as paid but wipe my debt clean ( Only send this letter if you have the money to pay. If you donor have the funds to cover the debt DO NOT SEND THE LETTER). 
4.Apply for  a Secured credit card from Bank of America or Orchard Bank. A secured credit card is when the consumer puts a deposit down on a CC from 300- 4900 and that is your spending limit. At the end of a year the bank will refund your deposit back.




Once you fix your credit PAY YOUR BILLS ON TIME. Even if you have to pay with automatic bill pay. Just do it.


Comment if you have any questions, I will answer them all.
Also put your email in the comment box for a copy of the pay to delete letter. 

N.Y Luxuries!!!!!! Who doesnt love candles?

Hi my name is Cherina Hamilton-Hall and I am the C.E.O of  N.Y Luxuries a luxurious candle company.  Who doesn't love candles is what was on my mind when I started my candle business. I love strong fragrant candles but there were so many candles (plain looking ) that were supposed to smell like cookies, candies, and deserts but when I got them home the aroma of the candle did not last and they smelled horrible when lit.  




I decided that we diva's that love to be pampered deserved to indulge in luxurious candles that not only lit up  the whole entire house but  that matched the decor of your home, baby shower, wedding, bridal shower etc. N.Y Luxuries uses the best ingredients that will tantalize the senses as well as leaving you feeling euphoric.






We also believe that every diva is different and cater to the needs of every individual. Is there a specific fragrance you cannot live without?  Well we will customize a scent for an additional $5.  Don't see the color candles that you want? We will customize it for you also depending on the color selection up to 2 are free.




Come on and indulge in some luxury ladies. Treat yourself don’t cheat yourself.

                                       

Welcome to Black Wall Street

What is black Wall Street? Black Wall Street is a blog that will highlight black owned businesses throughout the world on all 7 continents weekly. There is no question that as a community the black dollar does not revolve around as many times as it should. Especially when it comes to putting money back into our own communities. The problem is not only the lack of money spent supporting black business but by other communities as well. Black Wall Street’s mission is to bring about  more awareness to this issue in the hopes that more people will make the conscious effort to support black owned businesses. Black Wall Street will continuously drive home the importance of Black business patronage through every media source available to us.

Please feel free to contact us to have any business highlighted that is black owned. If you are tired of spending your money with people who do not shop, live, and put back money into your  community then stay on the lookout for different businesses being highlighted. Nail salons, beauty parlors, clothing stores, book stores, restaurants, cab companies, farms etc…. etc…..etc…… so that you the consumer can go and support a sister/brother.

“We succeed if others join us in stimulating economic growth within Black communities by supporting Black-owned businesses and professionals,”- Anderson.
