We owe a very special thank you to each of them: Errol Isip of Model Hunt, Mandy Lieveld an NYC-based Runway Coach, and Ezra Jones founder of THEFSTATE.

Crystal Allen from Eyes Like Mine Inc. made a guest appearance to discuss her Miss Blind Diva Empowerment Pageant, and Cocoa Rivers gave great skincare tips on Style Me Up Nat. Many thanks to both of these ladies!
