Celebrating LaVada England: A Beacon of Empowerment and Resilience

LaVada England, a dedicated mother, mentor, and motivator, has spent over two decades inspiring women to embrace their full potential. Today, we celebrate her outstanding contributions and the vibrant journey she has paved for others to follow.


Empowering Womanhood

With her life’s focus on uplifting women, especially mothers, LaVada is recognized for transforming societal views on womanhood. Her mission is clear: to amplify the voices of powerful, yet often silent, women, enabling them to articulate and frame their stories uniquely.

Roles and Contributions

LaVada thrives in her role as a community leader, bolstering women through creative expression and confidence. From posting neighborhood flyers to working as a Co-Executive Producer with So Smoothe Brand, her tireless efforts have continually fostered environments where women flourish.

“I love the people I meet, seeing their success, and helping them understand that they have no need to compete; just be their best.”

A Longstanding Impact

Her journey began amidst challenges, evolving from a teenage mom into a mature guiding force in her community. LaVada embodies endurance, patience, and understanding—qualities that have notably shaped her approach to both personal and professional spheres.

Guiding Principles

  1. Always know your purpose.
  2. Make decisions with your gut, not your feelings.
  3. Walk into every room as a VIP.

Implementing these principles, she advises the younger generation to build sturdy foundations to stabilize their future ambitions, reflecting her earnest blend of tradition and innovation.

Legacy and Aspirations

LaVada aspires to leave a legacy of selflessness and shared success, hoping her life’s work encourages others to also generously contribute to communal growth.

“It’s okay to sometimes give your time for free to see the success of others because it’s worthwhile.”

Get Involved and Learn More

A prolific author, LaVada encourages everyone interested in personal and community empowerment to connect with her and explore publications like ‘Travailings A Journey Through Depression, Motivation, Frustration, and Resilience‘ available on Amazon.

Why Did You Start My Black City?

A MESSAGE FROM BRANDON BORNES (FOUNDER OF MY BLACK CITY)

We often worry that we don’t have enough resources in our community to go around. When we see someone in our community doing what we do but better, we get a little nervous or intimidated. Instead of using competition to spur on our creativity, teamwork, work ethic and innovation, we become soo overwhelmed with our own fears and insecurities that we gossip, sabotage, or hurt one another. This has happened to many exceptional people in our community. We need to do better and lead by example. Our love for each other needs to be greater than our fear of failure.

If we had to simplify into one word what My Black City is about, it would be LOVE! Because Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

When people come in contact with our brand, that’s what I want them to experience. It‘s not an easy aspiration to live up to, but we believe it‘s worth fighting for and it‘s what we need as a community.
