Meka
My heart breaks when I hear women speak negatively about their natural features, or complain about those “extra” pounds. Women are the nurturers in the community – we do so much for others that we forget to take care of ourselves, and when we do think of ourselves, we say too many things about how we're not good enough, not fortunate enough, or not pretty enough.
That self-deprecating conversation stops here.
I spent 23 years making skin and bodies flawless for magazine spreads, eight of them as the premiere photo retoucher for Oprah and her A-list celebrity guests at the Oprah Winfrey Network and Harpo Studios, Inc. What did I learn? Natural beauty is far more appealing than a false sense of perfection.
I've built SMP by embracing the study of lighting, posing, and styling to share the truth of how a combination of these three simple things is all that's needed to bring out how uniquely breathtaking you are.

Culture & Operations Strategist
“Behind the Silk Studio curtains, I discovered my observational cultural lenses are my SUPERPOWER.
My lens constantly shifts between different perspectives, desired outcomes, & strategic planning.
It is because of these shifts that I focus on building a sense of teams, a sense of community, & above all else a sense of trust.”
