Year In Review

In 2021, I have implemented over 30 new strategies. As a professional visual artist and art consultant, I would say that I have received numerous feedback on my effective strategies. Each strategy was uniquely different for each event that I provided and offered services. During the pandemic which began on March 9, 2020, I provided and offered all of my services online. I had to ensure that each service that I provided was effective and successful. This was challenging for me because I was used to providing services for in person events hosted by Esther Productions, Inc.

I had to completely revamp all of my services online as a result of the restrictions and precautions revolved around the pandemic.

I provided services for the following events that were hosted by Esther Productions, Inc. Among them include 2nd Annual Discovering Me..Without You Essay Contest Winners Announced which took place on February 6, 2021; The Power of Poetry In You which took place on February 13, 2021; Women Are Poetry in Motion which took place on February 27, 2021; Kaleidoscope which took place on March 27, 2021; National Reconciliation Week which took place from June 6, 2021 - June 11, 2021; 3rd Annual Discovering Me..Without You Essay Contest which took place from September 1, 2021 - October 31, 2021; Winners Circle - Part One which took place on September 18, 2021; Winners Circle - Part Two which took place on October 16, 2021; and Winners Announced for the 3rd Annual Discovering Me..Without You Essay with keynote speaker, Ms. Yasmine Arrington which took place on December 11, 2021.
