Enchanted Events of Atlanta Event Makes Essence.com

I just got exciting news that the Enchanted Events of Atlanta Event was featured on Essence.com in the Star Gazing section! This is the second time this year that I have been on the site. Yay! Here's the picture of me and Alisha Nesbitt:

Look Another Female DJ!

The Enchanted Events of Atlanta event went well. All of my Atlanta peeps came out to support me and my client's new event planning company. As usual people were surprised that I was "good." At the beginning the party, the bartender said, "Look another female dj!" with a sigh. By the end of the night, I had his respect and requests too lol.

I finally placed a DJ Nickiee quick mix on the site for those who haven't heard me. Send me an @ reply on Twitter, and let me know what you think. I admit I would have more bookings if I provided a mix, but I haven't had the time and patience to sit down and record one.

I finally got the clippings of my article in Sister 2 Sister Magazine. Yay! So, I emailed the article to 10k people, and guess what? A publisher called me about writing a book. I told her that I would have it completed by the end of the summer! When one door closes, another one always opens.

Back from Atlanta

I had a great weekend. I flew to Atlanta for Curly Girls Rock for a natural hair mixer that GoodGirlPR and DJ Nickiee sponsored it was so packed (Lil Kim was on my flight by the way). I put business cards in each and every gift bag, and I already received two business leads.

I got a change to spend time with my friend/Soror, LaKisha, from law school. We went to a restaurant called Truva and then to Cafe Circa. I had so much fun.

The next day, we had brunch at Park's Edge. I ran into artist, Eric Roberson. He said that I looked familiar. Is that from Twitter lol? Then, we made a quick run to Atlantic Station where I had a meeting with my client, Enchanted Events of Atlanta, at Strip. Of course, I was tweeting and a fellow publicist, Keisha of Prominence PR, joined us. Keisha is going to cover the red carpet while I'm on my female dj tip. Trina's publicist, Alesha, wanted to meet with me but I didn't have enough time. I am looking to build more relationships around the May 14th event.

After which, I was off the the airport and back to New York. Sometimes, quick get-a-ways are necessary. I met some really cool people.

This week is jammed pack. I have several proposals out and they all look promising. I'm going to work my but off until Friday. I actually have to go to Raleigh, NC my clients, Tea and Honey Blends launch event. Ironically, I have all the press contacts in that area from the Women's Power Summit. My goal is to have solid press and venue contacts in all major markets. It's going well.....

I hope everyone has a productive week!

Music Evolution

I am have been up all night listening to music. Sometimes, I forget about the reason why I started to dj. I love music, and want to share my ear with others. DJing is about being organized. By listening to songs, you understand the vibe of each song. Just because two songs are the same BPM doesn't mean that they can be mixed or blended. They have to share the same feel. If you don't LOVE music, you will not take the time to figure this out...

Good night! Let's see if I go workout in the a.m. I have a jam packed day! Meetings and cocktails with Lucky Magazine. I want to be a Lucky Girl...

Happy Easter

I'll be in New York for this Easter holiday. I'm going to cook, too. I am actually a really good cook if you can believe it. My sweetie said that he didn't think I could cook by looking at me. What is that supposed to mean lol? I really need to go home and visit my family. My grandparents are getting older and are not the same. I am so glad that I went to law school in Colorado to be closer to them. I admit time just flashes by in the Big City, but I do not forget the people that helped me. My grandmother and cousin, Terry, have been the most supportive of me when I decided to start my business, and I am still paying them back.

This week was very eventful. GoodGirlPR is growing like wild fire by using my DJ Nickiee platform to support it. I literally have five PR pitches scheduled next week; two of which are with a cosmetic dentist and a plastic surgeon-sounds fun. I hired a sales person as well, and he's good!. I also had a great lunch meeting with Bossip.com. And, last night, I fired yet another intern, but I hired three. As much as I want to mentor people, I don't have time for people's excuses and bullshit. Three strikes and you're out!

The DJing world is cool. I still have to get the DJ Nickiee brand together. I would say on average, I DJ twice a month. In fact, I am djing a red carpet event for a company called the Enchanted Events of Atlanta in May (the invite is above). Honestly, I am inviting every Atlanta based publicist and event planner in the Atlanta metro area. It's all about working smarter not harder. I get it now.

Happy Easter.

Sister 2 Sister Magazine Here I Come

I need to start blogging more (I always say this lol). I think I may have more time now. I have two assistants, and an overall staff of 23 people and counting so that means more time for me (one would think). I finally set up my turntables in my new pad, and they don't have dust on them. I am still on my mission to succeed as a female dj (deejay). Program directors are definitely paying attention and sending me sample airchecks. Last week, I had the opportunity to DJ at Deejays for Japan. See the picture of me and DJ Chris Washington above. The lineup was cool - D-Nice, M.O.S., just to name a few.

Sister 2 Sister is also doing a column on me in the magazine. Crossing my fingers on Lucky Magazine! Also my right hand, Natasha Boyd, is being featured in Redbook. Press begets press; therefore I am predicting me and my team will be in many more magazines in 2011/2012. I do own a PR firm (lol). I come from a school of thought that believes that if you want something, you have to do it yourself.

Last week, I had an awesome interview as well, and I hope that I inspire people to start their own business. Click HERE to tune in.

You'll be hearing again from me very soon!

2011 is approaching. I have a good feeling about '11. I do. I'm spinning at a private party in BK. Yay! Above are the details. See you there!

Merry Christmas

Hey, guys! Merry Christmas. What a week! I have been moving so fast that in the past two weeks, I have lost my credit card, cell phone, and wireless card among other things. I need to slow down, and I am using today to do so. I have been totally neglecting my blog. I simply need to download the blogspot application for my Blackberry. Sometimes, I get so busy that I don't have time to do simple things. In fact, I need to switch to Wordpress in the next two weeks and rebrand. Bet! Djing is going well. I am djing New Years Eve. and on January 5th. I will be sure to post the details. Stop by. Have a blessed day, and thank you for reading my words.....

Silent Thunder

Hi, everyone. I have not been here in a while. I'm been super focused. I'm in the best shape of my life and back into sample sizes. I vow never to let others distract me. Honestly, I just want to hang up out Type A, smart, and focused people. Call me a snob.

DJing is picking up. I just DJed a fashion show at the Brooklyn Museum, and I will be working heavily with Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute's Foundation F.F.A.W.N. in the upcoming year. In fact, they featured me on their website this month. To see my spotlight, visit http://www.ffawn.org. I would say, on average, I DJ twice a month which is good for me since I'm so busy.

GoodGirlPR is buzzing in the media world. This month, we had three placements in Essence, one in inTouch Weekly, one in Sister 2 Sister Magazine, one in Redbook, the National Credit Union Magazine (we're doing banking PR now), one on INC.'s website, a plethora of blogs, and I met with some major, mainstream editors this month, one of which asked me to be their business partner. I've transitioned into the mainstream world, and that has been my focus since January. I am very particular about the events I attend now.

Last night, I met the producer of the CBS's Early Show, and he knew who I was which was an honor. He said, "You have street cred." His comment reminded me that I am on the right path. I'm all about surrounding myself with people who are positive, consistent, and appreciate what I have to offer.

In 2011, I will commence a DJ Nickiee campaign. GoodGirlPR has been my brand priority for the past two years, and I'm proud to say that my company is fully branded. I need GoodGirlPR to uplift my other businesses and goals, and that has been my strategy since day one. Sacrifice! There is a time and place for everything.

Back on Two-A-Days

Everyday, it amazes me how Type A I am. If I don't go hard, I don't want to go at all. I love working out, but I've been so busy trying to build my businesses that I admit, I have not been as dedicated to workouts as I should be. This summer, I have been slacking. I still run, but I have not been lifting weights. Weights are what ultimately sculpt your body. I'm back on my tw0-a-day workout schedule indefinitely until I get back to this picture taken in June. I practice DJing again too. Yes, I can mix and blend to perfection, but DJing requires practice, and I have that under control now as well. Consistency is key for both of my pastimes!

Check out my new interview on Sheblogs.com.

Back to the Big Apple

I've decided that I will be living outside of New York once a month. I'll surprise you with the destination every month. I need to explore as much as possible while I don't have any children. I have the freedom to go and be any where that I want to, and I am definitely going to take advantage of it.

Been on Hiatus

I came to Denver for a few days, and I have been here for almost two weeks. Working, of course, but at my pace. Sometimes, the energy of the city can be overwhelming. Everyone is in such a hurry. Everything is a fire drill. Everything is magnified. I need a break from time to time. You have to step out of the norm for clarity. I know that I've said this before, but it rings so true each time.

My grandmother said, "I have never seen anybody work so hard." Today, two people commented that, "Rome was not built in a day." So, I think it is time to establish work-life balance starting today. This trip gave me so much perspective.

DJ Nickiee Covers Hot 97 Summer Jam for inTouch

Hey, guys. I've been so busy with all of my projects. I know I need to blog more.

Today, I am covering Summer Jam for inTouch Weekly. Stay tuned for tomorrow's blog post to see who I am interviewed. Have a great day!

DJ Nickiee & In Touch Weekly

Hey, I am pleased to announce that I will be covering events for In Touch Weekly. I am so excited. Stay tuned for event posts!

What Happens In Vegas...Stays In Vegas

On my way from five days in Las Vegas. I met the most interesting lady on the plane. Flying is such a great way to network! Vegas was great! I partied a little at the Wynn Hotel and worked a lot as usual. My friends and I came out for the Floyd Mayweather fight. I had no idea that it was so ghetto or perhaps there are some new fashion trends that I don't know about because I am one with my laptop. Trips always open my eyes as usual. Everyone on the trip said that I work too hard and for me not to burn out. The problem is that I never think that I work hard enough? Well, I am going to try to keep up with my blog. I am just so busy. If don't blog, just know that I am very focused. I think I am done for the night. I have been up working since 6:30am PST.

Crunch

As much as I live in the gym, I am still djing at Crunch tonight. A great venue to practice. I am djing at the newest NYC club, Covet, tomorrow night as well. Should be cool! I have been extremely busy trying to take over Manhattan lol. Stay tuned!

Getting Organized

I didn't blog about this, but I had to replace my computer in October. I have been spending the past four months organizing and strategizing how to dj while maintaining my other endeavors. I am definitely going to be DJing more, and you will be seeing me a little bit of everywhere!
