What's the BUZZ? Made by Malyia x BuzzFeed #BuyBlack Pop-Up

On the last day of February, we ended black history month with BuzzFeed's #BuyBlack Pop-up shop! The amazing editor's at BuzzFeed brought together a collective of small black-owned businesses. This moment was a full circle moment for us, last year BuzzFeed featured our brand 9 Beauty And Style Products You Didn't Know You Needed Until Now. It was one of our first major features and they have continued to highlight and support us. 

Check out the pictures from BuzzFeed's #BuyBlack Pop-up Shop below! I met so many business owners I admire like Danessa Lyrics, it was a great time. The BuzzFeed office is a photoshoot heaven so be prepared, I took pictures all over the office! lol

Year Review: Jewels Thank you for ROCKING with us in 2016!

Jewels I can't thank you enough for making 2016 the best one yet. This year was truly a journey and marked my year anniversary as an entrepreneur. One of my goals when I started Made by Malyia was to be able to bring everyone along on this journey as I grew the brand. None of this would be possible without your consistent support so I wanted to review the year and let you know what's next for the brand. 

I started off the year with a modeling contract that was made possible because of my appearance at Afropunk a few months earlier. I released a new collection and was featured by several blogs. 

In June my jewelry as well as myself was featured in the Colored Girl Campaign. The campaign was featured by Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Instyle, Essence, Yahoo Beauty and many more. 

I was the natural hair model on the Today Show Summer Hair styles segment in August that went viral, the segment didn't go as planned, receiving over 10 million views. At first I didn't want the segment to overshadow the progress I made with the brand. When people started to leave comments asking where they could purchase the jewelry I had on the show, which of course was the full Made by Malyia collection, I knew my hard work wouldn't go unrecognized.

I returned to Afropunk in Brooklyn for the second consecutive year as vendor. I received more overwhelming love and support.

What's Next for the brand? 

I kick of the year as Keynote speaker in Washington DC. at the Forward Conference January 6-8 2017, where I will be sharing my journey and how to live your best life. I will be hosting the Curls on the Block Launch party in Denver, Colorado January 28, 2017.  

I will be releasing a new campaign and much more. 

Jewels, Thank you for rocking with us. Here's to making 2017 even better.
