Natasha founder of New Jersey Black Business (NJBB) As a small business owner prior to NJBB, I realized the power that social media had in terms of building clientele, and ultimately revenue, however some of the black-owned small businesses had no presence from a marketing/advertising perspective for their business via social media and potential clients were unaware that a particular business existed, even so close to their homes. I wanted to support Black Owned Business and I knew others that desired to as well, so as a result NJ Black Businesses was born!  http://www.njblackbusinesses.comyour resource for black owned businesses in New Jersey.

Healing is not an event; it is a process - an INTENSE process of owning responsibility of our human experience. When the woman owns her power, she heals herself.  When the woman heals herself, the universe elevates. Dr. Crystal Jones decided to master the art of holding space, but first she had to do it for herself. She uses her title as doctor to return power to its rightful owner. Dr. Crystal began doing a lot of crisis work (suicidal attempts/active drug usage) for women that put it together for the world. She spent countless hours holding women through their recognition of highest self. This was the work she was called to do http://drcrystaljones.com
