So, it’s another slow day at work (people don’t shop in august) as I’m starting to
fall asleep standing up in walks MALINDA WILLIAMS!! …. I almost lost it. I don’t
think she knew I knew who she was as she said, “she’s on the phone”
I’m thinking who’s is this ‘she’ you’re referring to? Then in walks Terri Vaughn (known for her role as Lovita from The Steve Harvey Show). I turned red, full of excitement, as these women were role models to me.
When I was 11 years old Terri spoke at the opera house on 3rd St, San Francisco, she
kept saying she was living proof that ‘…your past does not define you….’ I was thrilled and inspired to meet someone that came from my hometown that was on T.V.
Because of her, I want to be a role model to black young women coming up behind me.
Terri and Malinda (yeh!, we’re on first name basis now, lol) were really chilled. You can
tell they just wanted to shop but they entertained my conversation as they
looked around. Terri was shopping for a huge event ” The 7th Annual Angel Awards Benefit
” so after trying on about 6 dresses nothing worked. But I noticed they
were wearing comfy shoes, so I approached her about my shoes “of course”. I offered to design a custom pair of Conchetts
Toms. I gave her my card and they left…
Of course I ran home followed Terri on Facebook and Twitter and I sent her this
……………
To Terry,
Hi it was a pleasure meeting you, and……. . I’m so excited to design a custom pair of hand painted TOMS shoes for both of you. Check out some samples of my unique designs Conchetts please send me your information, so I know where and when to send your one of kind shoes. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Conchetta Washington…. (Big Fan!)
