…. I have trust issues.

Trust issues that stem from my lack of trust in myself. I then project that lack of trust to others, thus validating my own flawed view of the others and keeps the cycle going.

This is what I believe has prevented me from doing the things I say I am going to do, and worse the things I know I am here to do.

New artists in my rotation – 3D Nat’ee

I am not big on new music artists because there are so many crap and even more underground work that would require another lifetime to follow. However, I found this music artists on FB through a video she put out on Black Americans and their relationship with America specifically Law Enforcement. Here name is 3D Nat’ee.

Post by DeLorean.

In spite of the initial images that were hypersexualized (a turn off for me), I watched a video and loved the content and her flow. 3D got skillz. The video is called DO IT FOR THE (Insta)GRAM.

Keep it up 3D Nat’ee, I will be following and supporting you.

Why do I see only Asians working at nail salons?

That makes sense….

In 1975, Tippi Hedren was a Hollywood actress, and when she visited a Vietnamese refugee site in California, women living there were fascinated how immaculate her nails were. She sent her manicurists once a week to train them, and then she persuaded a beauty school to train them and help them to get licenses. They set up the very first Vietnamese-run beauty salon in the US, and seeing their success other Vietnamese followed suit, opening their own. It requires limited conversational English and that helped to fuel the growth of the industry, where some entrepreneurial Vietnamese immigrants started to franchise the business to spread it across the North America, and now even to Europe.
