People who start their own businesses and who aren't afraid to make things happen always inspire me, Najwa is one of those people.
Who: Celebrity Styleaholic Najwa Moses aka Naj aka Princess (only to my mother)
Where: This photo was actually taken in a loft space in The Bronx..yup yup the BX is getting kinda fly! I often take photos where I experiment with my hair and make-up and here I wanted to see if I could pull off the fuchsia lips and the turquoise eyes together—I think it's hot! Your thoughts?
What inspires you? Gosh, where do I begin? The what's of MY inspiration include: …me in the not-so-distant future running a powerful entertainment network and sexy and stylish licensing brand that extends into every facet of daily living.……planning and working hard now so that my kids (not yet born..lol) don't have to …..becoming independently wealthy in my 30's so I can truly tell someone in authority to go "f^&K themselves!...LOL.
The who(s) of my inspiration: My mother at my age
Diddy….he said it best: "I'm America's Worst Nightmare"
Oprah—do I really need to explain this?
Martha Stewart-beating the old boys network everyday at their own game..LUV HER!

What: I'm the CEO of Styleaholics Productions. An eclectic lifestyle company that provides unique experiences within fashion, entertainment and nightlife through New Media and events. On the side I provide content for corporate online companies and write for NPR.
Why are you fly? 1. I created a concept 5 years ago that has the whole world following: see The Closet Shopping Party 2. I've got women and straight Men, black folks and white folks, celebrities and wannabe's calling themselves: Styleaholics! 3. I'm willing to RISK everything several times over to build my empire—while others are sweating whether they have the latest iPod/suit/car/computer and their Zip Code. 4. This time last year I would be in a room full of 50 people and be the only who knew about podcasting…haha! 5. I create my own hairstyles—nuff said! 6. I want to empower and motivate others to build their own empires.
Word of Advice: Ladies, please pick up the following books: The 48 Laws of Power, Suze Orman's Young, Fabulous and Broke and Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Something I try and do at least once a week: make myself UNCOMFORTABLE by meeting someone or trying something new. Whether that's going to an event and shaking the hand of an absolute stranger or trying a new dish at a restaurant—it is vital to your growth; personally, emotionally and financially to continuously STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. Remember its Your LIFE, Just STYLE It!
