*FEATURING YOU* with PHILLY NATIVE RYAN POWELL!!!!!!.............VIEW MORE

 The first time I fell in love with Ryan Powell's work was last fall when he took this photo of me below at the Philly Fashion Week Ready-to-Wear showcase! His style just captures the moment.... any moment... and made me feel like I was the only girl in the world looking back at it! =)

In the eyes of the photographer, he's more than just that but rather a "Time Stopper" & I whole heartedly agree!! I would have to say for me, the eclectic photo artist has an incomparable style as all his photo's deliver a warm feel and makes you feel as if you were there! 

Since we've met, I have been following his work as well as growth and HAD to sit down with him to share his art with the world! See more of Ryan Powell's photographs and get to know the published photographer here, through our exclusive interview below!!!........click the link to view more.

This was the best Odunde that I have ever been too! I don't know why..... but it was just something about the energy in thoses streets of South Philly that ooozed peace & love!! The streets were packed as ususal, but there was no violence...no negativity.....there wasn't even enough air space for that.Lol. The vibe was just too powerful!!

It was a really great feeling to be in one place at one time with sooo many people that appreciated art, individuality, music, dance, style, and most importantly African culture!!!
