Rachel Steele - Paparazzi

Hi there! I'm Rachel!

You may have heard about Paparazzi, but let me give you a little secret....it's not just about the jewelry. While we offer $5 & a high-end $25 ZiCollection line, we are changing lives one necklace/ ring/earring/bracelet at a time.

Starting Paparazzi was the best decision of my life. Not only did it bridge a financial gap, but I also gained a sisterhood/support group of women from all walks of life. I'm looking forward to the years to come while helping others build their business

For almost 3 years, I have learned to live life to the fullest and share it with the world. I LOVE what I do!!

Blk.Ed - Renee Alexandria

Hi, my name is Renee-Alexandria . I am the co-founder and CEO of Blk-ed. 

As loving and саrіng mother of a young black child, I was faced with a major problem when she first started school. I couldn't find a backpack, a lunch bag, or anything for that matter in the stores that had an image of a black or brown child on it. I quickly realized that there was a serious need for positive images and representation of our community as a whole not only for children.  My mіѕѕіоn at Blk-ed is to develop custom-designed women's and children’s handbags and accessories, that truly reflect the beauty, pride, and strength of our community.
