Je'Taun M. Taylor's Great Granddaughter

Hi Sharrie☺️ how are you? Prayerfully better than ever! I have just closed your beautifully written book on its last chapter....and might I say that is one hell of a story!!!!!!! I loved and enjoyed every minute of it....up until that last part....with Nana....I can't stop crying.....who would be that sick and heartless😕😭😢....I despise Danie....my heart aches and goes out to you and your family....on the contrary this story inspired me....you and I have dealt with tremendously the same pain it's crazy....the weight thing I'm still trying to conquer, kudos to you😘😘😘....and my grandmother Cherie was just like your Nana....personality wise always seemingly judgmental yet only wanting the best for us......your story ignited a fire in me that I thought died long ago....it inspires me to to go full head on unapologetically with my dreams and to keep fighting the good fight no matter what life throws at me....your whole family were fighters not only verbally but physically and emotionally....it made me feel as though I was reading about my family without the money lol....I felt indulged in the story as if it were happening in front of my eyes....this book definitely deserves airtime for a movie and 5 amazing stars....I'm not saying that just to be saying that, you definitely can change the route in someone's life just by inspiration and this book was just that! It gave me life, hope, and sadness took me through so many emotions but I loved every bit of it....I would love to write a book just don't know where to start....you know your blessed if you can inspire and change someone through text who has never met you, and that you are! Thank you for this special gift....it will remain with me forever and all the lessons it has taught me.....I will continue to read this book lol I could never get tired of it. Thank you for your story.

Martin Luther King Day and Maybelline in the 1960s







Maybelline was the first Cosmetic Company to feature a Black Model in 1959, Je'Taun Taylor.








 In 1964, Great Lash Mascara was born and featured a beautiful young Black Model, who spoke to the growing liberated female market.  The genius in this Ad was connecting Civil Rights with Women's Rights.






Martin Luther King Jr. was the driving force behind the  the March on Washington, which helped bring about the Civil Rights Act of 1964. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986.
