*NAPPY PROFILE*
DAYANA SMOOT- BAG DESIGNER
DAY-23 ORIGINAL BEADED BAGS
AT THE INDIANA BLACK EXPO THIS WEEKEND, I WAS STOPPING AT ALL THE AFRICAN BOOTHS TO FIND SOME UNIQUE PIECES. AT ONE OF THE BOOTHS I STOPPED AT, MY EYES WERE DIRECTED AT THIS YOUNG LADY WITH THIS FLY BLACK, YELLOW, GREEN, AND RED BAG. SO, I HAD TO STOP HER AND ASK ABOUT THIS BAG. SHE POINTED TO A YOUNG LADY THAT WAS STANDING NEXT TO HER NAMED DAYANA AND TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS THE DESIGNER. DAYANA WAS SPORTING A CLUTH THAT WAS IN THE SAME COLORS AS THE OTHER GIRL’S BAG BUT ALSO WAS WEARING THIS FUN HELLO KITTY BOOK BAG THAT SHE MADE. HER DESIGNS ARE FUNKY, FRESH, AND FLY. BUT THIS IS NOT THE BEST PART THAT MADE ME EXCITED ABOUT MEETING THIS YOUNG LADY…..DAYANA IS ONLY 17 YEARS OLD!!!! I LOVE IT!! I LOVE MEETING YOUNG BLACK PEOPLE WITH A GOOD HEAD ON THEIR SHOULDERS AND BLESSED WITH THIS ABUNDANCE OF CREATIVITY. IT JUST MADE MY HEART SMILE. NAPPY OR NOT….SHE WAS BORN ON TO THIS EARTH AS A NATURAL BEING….AND THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF WHAT VIVA LA NAPPY IS ABOUT. UPLIFTING BLACK WOMEN THROUGH ART, MUSIC, NATURE, FAITH…AND MAKING SURE OUR YOUNG BLACK WOMEN GROW UP TO BE POSITIVE ROLE MODELS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MOTHERS OF OUR FUTURE GENERATONS.
KUDOS TO YOU MS. DAYANA SMOOT….YOU ARE ONE OF THE SHINING STARS OF THE FUTURE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BUT MOST OF ALL, STAY FOCUSED AND TRUE TO YOURSELF!!!
