to be hacks and t so tell me about the story of these beautiful hats sharon i've always loved fashion for one thing all right my mother taught me how to do so when i was a young girl she herself was an amazing fashion designer so one day she's decided to sit me down at the sewing machine and i just was a natural all right so she could because she only had to show me one time right after that i went on when i got older i went on to our fashion industries high school with a scholarship i was selected from my junior high school to go and so it was just perfect because it was just love being creative and fashion is is my thing like i said my mother was a designer she would design clothes for me my sister so she would just ask really unique outfits for us to wear even our friends benefit from some of her designs because you know she wanted us all to look nice and as pretty little girls you know we we had our little designs then you know it was really a wonderful tea and today we have a belgian chocolate so it's naturally no caffeine very high nitty accident so i'm going to say smell it before you put a sugar let's face it in c because a lot of people don't like sugar in this  yes i love the room on this one isn't it nice yeah and frankly to tell you the truth it taste delicious without any is what is there at all and that's that's how the brits are you know like you that has that little soul of sweetness yeah y know it was delicious you know and i like it just like that yeah yeah i mean there's nothing better to me than hats and t it's all dainty you know yeah it is really it's a serious about like you said it's confidence when you put on a have a when i walked into this room and i was like oh my goodness when you tell us hats i didn't even think about hats like the not these are facts you know you go to some stores and it's just low regular hats is just amazing and i just want you to tell us you know what made you start or decide on hats versus other fashion while i did study fashion apparel design and as a result of that i took an elective just putting all the colors together you know just as the people designing an apparel design but hats witches and love them because they like you said they give you confidence and it helps you that you know to that that same kind of expression right you know ladies and t and been alleghany and you know things like of that nature so it's a great confidence builder and i noticed that i mean i i put this i came here confident but i guess when i put the phone i was like yes look at me i feel good i look beautiful and that's really this is a really wonderful thing that you're doing yeah you know and now tell us about  how you work this in with cancer because i know you are a cancer survivor and yes i was tell us a little bit about that story i am a cancer survivor and being a case of survivor i know how important it is for women in their especially me being a breast cancer survivor sometimes women struggle with their images right so with the habs we we do have events right ok and it was events where we do fundraiser is an fashion have confidence and style and be a lady and when you crown right we have to learn how to you know we have around you everything women because women are so powerful we godless to what we go through  there being strong is it when you know really when you see like the first ladies in churches and you see them with the hats like oh my god even my mom she has a million hats it's like my mom look at that hat if you go to  power like fifty pair of hats and that's the one thing i remember about my mother when she goes to church she's always has these outlandish hacks and i just maybe that's where i picked it up from because i love hats truth so it's just it's fantastic that you're doing this and helping women build self confidence you know also tell us about some of the workshops that you're doing for cancer survivors to help them to to heal well i'm also an author i'm a cancer wellness professional life coach so i meant women who have who are going through the journey women who are looking for someone to educate them on how to come through that process  so that's what i do i just empower women ok i'm power women through their journey and beyond right now now is the new york company where you work for other organizations to do what you do that is my organizations are all women straight talk and that's going to be a much broader topping because as women we have a voice right and so we want to be empowered to use our voices right not just in health but in environmental right ok it is the prime in all health things that we can voice our opinions on as well that also related to health of a horse and it's all about health and wellness and culture and style and things of that nature so it's a very very broad topic and it gives women a chance to to have their voice be heard and to be able to empower other women around that's beautiful not any idea when that's going to they are very soon very soon form or fashion we're all impacted by cancer and so we like to support women and families caregiver you know and so it's just exciting for me to be able to give back in that way be well like i said emotionally physically spiritually because we're the ones who know we shall family be we take care of the family right and with such an important with such important leaders women know to do that more and that some of the things that we need to implement in our programs and workshops we implement that to show you how to self love right ok it is if you don't feel when you know it's about self love first and then just understanding how important it is to have our strength and be able to take good care of ourselves like us that love ourselves and be an example right we have to be an example well i tell you like with it i tell a lot of my friends always start in the morning with tea because rea and it really helps me to to think about why am i here what's my purpose you know what's my day going to be what was my focus and this is it really heals so i try to get my friends into doing and i have some of them to do with but these are some of the things that i talk to women about doing this for themselves if you're at work take a few minutes when you're at work poise of a couple to sit and just do nothing you know it just helps to de stress and that's what we need to do more we need to implement time in our lives much more than we do so that we can now and then focus on other people once we've now focused on ourselves and healed ourselves and so i can you know understand what you're saying about it so clearly process yeah and up always ailments it helps with so many different things i mean people didn't realize that the red sea and the honey bush that it has just as much on antioxidants as the green tea and so it's becoming more popular here now than before from jamaica and we grew up drinking more herbal teas we drink like ginger root we drink pepper and we drink sorrow you know those are some of the teas that we drink you know growing up and so that's really what got me into tea because it's not just the health benefits but also just having the conversations around the dinner table with your family that's also another thing that helps in healing helping people to come together and bonding and things like that so i think that's so needed today yeah that's wonderful that's absolutely wonderful and love love to learn more about her and love to learn as much as i can yeah i mean i'm excited i can't wait for us i know we've been talking about doing something together with the hats and because you this is really something and it's something that's going to help to motivate people and help them to again about being beautiful like i do a workshop i am beautiful for kids and so something like this it's so important for you to think that she beautiful because if you don't have self esteem problems and people can bully you and so when you do more things like this i think it really helps society whether it's a child or an adult to help them feel good about themselves absolutely i just can't win either way you look totally different person exactly and that's what it does self self confidence building and it's comfort for and it hasn't been one time that i've noticed that when i bring these hatswell that people custom for people i do ok i do make them custom they all their only customer me but like i said i use them in my pants to help fund raise so you know for organization and i love know because people that yeah i say that all the time you never know like you say what they're going through and that's what people have to be careful with their word is why you know just because you have a problem this need to put it on somebody else that's why and you might say that one thing and puts them over the edge that's rather waits for them to take their life or to take someone else's life so you have to be so careful especially today because people are going through so much exactly is so hard to do  and help someone to just do some magnificent things just by talking to them and it's contagious because if you do it for someone else and they see hat makes them feel and then they are inspired to pass it on  small world and it's again you have to be good because you never know who knows who absolutely right that's right exactly actions that's right you never know who's watching you have to know who's watching or exactly i'm so glad that i you and i mean thank you for coming on the show to talk about on this wonderful thing with hat and the works of that you do to help women that were going through cancer because that is it's such a disease that it's it takes over everybody's life like you said absolutely it's a wonderful thing that you're doing with the workshops and the hats because people see this her this is what she does so just
