Vida has added a new item to the line up. A sarong!
I have added new designs that depict the Diaspora and the Underground Railroad. This art reminds us of a history many people do not want to talk about. The circles represent the lives that were captured. The purple inside the circle represents the royal blood. The yellow represents their souls.
These designs can also be seen on other items. Check out the store. My Vida Store

In the 2020 Issue, Queen B Travel gave us some great tips for road trips. We know many people are about to hit the road for the summer.
Before I Go
by Brenda Derrick
I prepare for a road trip about a week before. Packing clothes, getting snacks, checking distance and mapping stops along the way.
If driving my car, get it serviced a few days before leaving.
After we arrive and check in at the hotel, we go to Walmart to get some things.
Buying things when you get to a location makes packing easier and the car not so crowded. We got boogie boards, snacks and went to the beach.
Just getting away from your regular routine expands the mind. Just do it.
I became a travel agent because I love to travel. I help make dreams come true.
