Angelia Robinson- Official Music Video for Who R U?


 

Inspirational Recording Artist, Angelia Robinson, who is a spokesperson for the Diva By Cindy Brand as well as a Sunshine Promises Board Member really put her hands to the work on this day. Her music video "Who R U?" which touches the issue of being judged based on your past has been changing the lives of millions since its' debut. It was only fitting that it become a part of this very special day in order to bring even more empowerment to these women, many of whom have had their self-worth stripped from them. "I have worked in the human services field for over 20 years and at My Sister's Place Lodge for 9 years. I can say, I have never been to an event that did not parade the mentally challenged, the mentally ill, or the homeless; as these poor people let us help them. No one felt demeaned, talked down to, glared at, or pointed at because the circumstances of their lives lead them to where they are now. The greatest gift the ladies feel they received was being special and being loved; being loved unconditionally. " says Linda Day, Staff Coordinator at The Sisters Place Lodge of the feedback from the 1st Diva Project. We intend to keep this very same spirit with every Diva Project.

 The Diva Project May 2011


I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to read about and even consider supporting my vision to help women. This is my passion but I could never make it happen alone. God may be my source but he puts his people in position to help execute HIS purpose and plan for all of our lives.

 

Love and light,

 

Cindy

The Diva Project interview with Cindy Tawiah

THE VISION



The Daughter of Diplomats, Cindy Tawiah, was born and raised in Ghana, West Africa. Pushed to pursue a career in medicine by her family, Cindy got her first taste of manufacturing when a chemistry teacher gave her a helping hand for a project. "He said, 'I'd like to teach you a practical application; I want to show you how to make lipstick and nail polish.' " It was then that the beauty seed was planted. Before that seed could grow Cindy, followed her parents' wishes and went on to receive a Bachelors degree and career in nursing. Still, something was missing in Cindy's life. "I was disillusioned, depressed. I prayed for a sign. If someone upsets today, it's a sign for me to leave, I wanted to leave and open up a hair salon." That morning as Cindy, went about her duties. She saw that sign, and immediately drafted her resignation letter. But the path to Cindy's dream wasn't easy. With no formal training or experience Cindy, set out to open her first salon. She was turned away from several different banks and multiple rental properties, but she persevered. Cindy, finally found someone who was willing to take a chance on her. In February of 2004, she began reaching out to victims of domestic violence in an effort to renew their sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Partnering with two local shelters, Cindy brought 40 women to her salon, where they received new winter coats (thanks to donations from community), a home-cooked meal and a full day of beauty, complete with facials, hairstyles and manicures. Cindy felt satisfied with the direction in which her life was headed, but at the end of 2006 she noticed she had quite a turnover rate in her salon. Unsure of what to do, she turned to her friend for advice. "He said, 'You need to find your purpose' and I thought "what is he talking about?" My passion is women and beauty. My purpose," I thought was my passion was beauty products. In February of 2007, Cindy, put together a plan of action. She wanted to create a line that was natural and alcohol free. That's when the Diva By Cindy, hair-care line was born. "I wanted them to be products of integrity, something I would use and stand by, something that would empower women; Hence the name, 'Diva.'
