Sunday (March 18th), Media Girls LA, the networking organization for women of color in media teamed up with influencer and model Miracle Watts for the first stop of the four-city “Miracle Watts Presents: Beauty Meets Media Tour.“  Miracle and the organization sought out to unite influential women of color in beauty and media to address topics surrounding their respected industries and self-preservation.

Kicking things off in their birthplace of Los Angeles, women from all over the city joined met up at a private location and enjoyed many activities including, a photo booth provided by Memory Lane Photobooth, complimentary makeup touch-ups by Chic Studios and complimentary polish changes by The Pink Ong.

Designed to engagement, inspire and educate, the event provided attendees with a two-part panel. The first panel featured Dr. Kami, Dom Brown, Nizhoni Cooley with MJ Jackson as the moderator. The second featured panelist was Miss Diddy, Milan Rouge, Hello Barbie and was moderated by Bria Myles. Each set of panelist offered personal advice on building brands, collaborations, remaining true to your business ethics, believing in your brand and more. They also shared their personal experience from working in the fields of media, entertainment, and branding.

Following each panel, everyone was able to mix, mingle and enjoy the event’s delights. Attendees were served Cîroc, Honey Qween Lemonade and Aquahydrate water by Maddiva Concierge during the whole event, while they indulged in shrimp-n-grits and other appetizers from What’s On The Menu.

As an advocate for true beauty and wanting to put her statement of purpose in action, Miracle chose one lucky winner to receive the ultimate makeover. The contest winner enjoyed a day of pampering before attending the event.

“Everyone should feel beautiful about themselves and should feel comfortable in the skin they’re in,” Miracle says.

The tour is set to continue with stops in Washington, D.C., Miami and Houston, be sure to grab your tickets.
