Fashion Bomb Daily is now doing exclusive editorials!
When I first started Fashion Bomb Daily in 2006, I did it as a way to showcase and highlight the beauty of women of color, and to build up my resume to get hired at a fashion magazine. I never would have imagined that 10 years later, I would be the Editor-in-Chief of my own online magazine and multimedia platform! Getting to this point has taken lots of hard work and sacrifice, but the job is not done.
Each week, Fashion Bomb Daily will publish an exclusive shoot, whether featuring a celebrity, socialite, artist, or model.
I am excited to debut these beautiful pictures of model Margarita Lievano (@margarita_lievano) photographed by Karl Eldridge and Neil Buchan- Grant, shot on location in beautiful Cuba.
Stylist Aisha Paparella (@aisha_paparella) clothed our subject in pieces by Fabryan London and Monika Dolna Couture.
Hairstylist: Latenda Kalimba (@latendahairsalon) gave Margarita long tousled tresses that helped create a vacation look that was both stylish yet effortless.

We hope you enjoy these shots! Please stay locked to our Instagram stories and Snapchat @ClaireSulmers for previews of our upcoming shoots. And if you would like to submit your own editorial, feel free to email them to submissions@fashionbombdaily.com.
Love + Light,
Claire

Claire’s Life: Talking Women & Entrepreneurship with Crystal Streets, Mina Say What of Power 99, Marilyn van Alstyne, Yolanda Keels-Walker of the Business Babes, and Danielle Dawkins of McDonalds Philadelphia

19-3-claire-sulmers-mcdonalds-philly-fashion-bomb-daily-women-entrepreneur-business-babes-crystal-streets-marilyn-alystyne-victoria-beaty

Did you know that black females are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs?
But entrepreneurship is not easy–we need guidance in order to truly embrace our full potential. Thus, several panels and seminars are popping up around the country so that women of color can network, seek advice, and grow!

I had the sincere pleasure of speaking on one such panel in Philadelphia, alongside stylist and jewelry designer Crystal Streets, Marilyn Van Alstyne of EMVE Management Group, Yolanda Keels-Walker of the Business Babes, and Danielle Dawkins of McDonalds Philadelphia. Mina Say What of Power 99 was our illustrious moderator.


Each panelist offered insight on their background before launching into advice. We all agreed that taking care of finances is key. It’s important to set goals (and write them down!). Don’t be afraid to receive and ask for help. Having a great team is necessary (but finding the right team can take some trial and error!). And life is too short not to go for your dreams.

For the event, I wore a printed dress from Nobody Jones Boutique:

My co-panelists were fly!

Crystal Streets rocked a flirty Zara dress, Topshop knee high socks, and Gianvito Rossi pumps.

Yolanda Keels-Walker of the Business Babes uplifted a chic jumpsuit with a foxy fur stole and Sophia Webster ‘Boss Lady” pumps. I love it!
It was a fun time, and I will definitely be doing more panels on Women in Entrepreneurship (and I plan on coming back to Philly!)

Stay tuned for video!
Until then, what do you think?
