Dreams Do Come True

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a statement by Benjamin Ola. Akande, Dean of Webster University School of Business & Technology:


As a child growing up in Nigeria, I was a dreamer. My parents never dismissed my dreams. They were always encouraging. No matter how outright unbelievable my dreams were, they would assure me that dreams do come true. Dreams provide a glimpse of what the future will look like. I wish I could have recorded all those dreams.


Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream was recorded. It was a dream that was played out in front of thousands of people and like most dreams, no one really knew how it would play out. As the dream was recalled over the years, it became clear that this was a significant and compelling vision of the future. Martin's dream was in the form of a remarkable prose on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Most of us can hear him recite this dream in our subconscious. "I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together." It is a dream that visualizes a future where all those things that seemed impossible and improbable will happen despite overwhelming obstacles.


Barack Obama

The election of Barack Obama was a manifestation of Martin's dream. I would like to believe that Martin Luther King's dream highlighted how difficult it is to make change happen. Martin spoke about how mountains and hills (obstacles) shall be made lower and rough places (institutional changes) will be made straight. The recognition was that monumental changes of this magnitude take considerable time. Indeed, it takes the force of nature to break through the harsh reality of status quo and history.


Dreaming enables us to transcend the present and position us on the balcony for a better view of the future. And, because dreaming offers no restrictions, the greatest dreamers are often characterized as crazy and out of touch with reality. What history has shown us is that you may vilify them, you can criticize them, and you may even assassinate them. But, you can't kill a dreamer's dream. MLK's dream took a long time to come to fruition, with small significant steps and some big setbacks along the way. But on Nov. 4, 2008, the full realization of the great civil rights leader's dream came to pass with the election of a junior senator from Illinois as the first African American President of The United States of America..


Martin Luther King taught us that adversity is a lot easier to overcome than success. And that is the power of dreams. He knew it would happen. He even foresaw that his own demise may keep him from seeing his dream come true. "I've seen the promised land," he said. "I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the Promised Land." Forty-five years later, his vision is still unfolding. But one thing is crystal clear. Dreams do come true.

Introducing the Unbraider for Braids!

I have just received this good news for the benefit of millions of people who love braids!

We are bringing the Unbraider to Nigeria!

Simply read and watch the demonstration video to see how the Unbraider works.

Here is the latest release on wrist issues and braiding from the Unbraider Company. Natasha is available for interviews.

Wrist issues


Wrist pain, strain, and weakness is a problem that can really have a negative affect your everyday life and since many people do hair for their friends or children, they can encounter this problem. Natasha Anderson-Imara, president of Glamour Devine first encountered this problem when speaking with stylists who were new to braiding and cornrowing. Many stylists use a twisting technique or rattail comb when unbraiding hair, causing undue stress on the wrist. One client solved the aching wrist problem by wearing wrist braces during the more active portions of her practice. Her e is another solution.

The Unbraider has been engineered to take down 6 to 8 braids at a time.
The only product on the market designed and engineered to do this.
Has been tested across the United States by braiders and braid wearers.
A hand held tool that will allow you to take down your braids 8 times faster.
Engineered and designed to take down Micro Individuals and Corn Rolls.
Engineered and designed to minimize hair breakage and loss.
Designed to both take down braids while at the same time comb out unbraided hair.
This is a 2-in-1 process.

Borrow A Leaf From Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf

"Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf is a magnificent leader and an amazing woman."
~ Laura Bush, the First Lady of the United States of America

To all the women in Africa
Borrow a leaf from Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
The Mother of modern Liberia.
Follow her golden footprints in the golden sand of time
From the heart of Morovia to the soul of Wisconsin in Madison
From the soul of Wisconsin to the bowels of the Colorado
And from bowels of the Colarado to the pantheon of Harvard.
Where she waited at tables to pay her dues and her fees.
She was found worthy of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority
And finally she won the crown to be the Queen of state
As the first woman in Africa to become the President
And Head of state of a nation.
She is the "Iron Lady" who has won her Medal of Freedom.
