Who? Valaira Sa-Ra Smith

Where? I was born in Bronx, New York City but currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia

What do you do? I am a model, actress and singer as well as an entrepreneur who owns an Event Planning and Fashion Show Production Company called VUE Entertainment.

What inspires you? my mother, my husband and my soul-mate-sister friend! These people inspire and encourage me. They are my biggest fans. Also strong people who have overcome adversity inspires me.

Why are you Fly? I am fly because I never give up on myself and my dreams. I am a very determined woman and I always stare fear and rejection in the face. I allow those negative aspects of life to propel me forward. I am fly because I am limitless. There is nothing I can’t do or be. I am fly because although I may get kicked down from time to time, I always get up and take off running!

Advice: Remember who you are! Know that you are what you think you are so always think you are fabulous, fierce, and fearless!!!! GO GET IT!

More beautiful quilts, wonderful carpets and rugs.

MOM and POPism

Street art and photography come together in this exhibition focusing on the evolution and possible demise of New York City storefronts. Very smart idea. I often think about the art behind signage, particularly storefronts. They used to be unique, and grand, now they are just okay. Read more about MOM and POPism here.
