I met Cookie in 2003! She is fun loving, very kind hearted and has a wonderful eye for fashion. Cookie has a bold spirit which led her and two of her friends to start their own clothing line. She is also a part owner of 4 Aces, a group that designs clothes, blogs about fashion and makes videos. (I will be featuring 4 aces later)

Cookie defines success as the level of ones personal happiness. She has to enjoy what she does and she certainly enjoys designing, styling and filming videos. She has a BSc from Howard University and is currently working on her Masters Degree in Epidemiology. Cookie is wonderfully balanced and content with life. She is an inspiring person because she is constantly evolving, is a great example of what a balanced life is - creativety and science, contentment and success.

Inspiring Person Number 1

Andrew Z

I met Andrew when I hired his moving company GoGo Philly movers to move me. He was punctual, friendly and above all honest. I took a liking to him because he worked fast and did not try to slow down his pace in order to get paid more. Andrew is not only a business owner but also has a Masters in Public Administration and Policy and a Bachelors degree in International Relations/Economics and Philosophy. Currently, Andrew is the Executive Director of Infinite Solar, a company that provides professional certified training for Solar PV and Thermal installers.

Our photo shoot was on a beautiful day in Philadelphia. Andrew was fun, care free and a good sport. Andrew is an inspiring person because of his contribution to society as a business owner and employer, his desire to aid in the preservation of planet earth and his general good nature. Thank you Andrew for participating! Enjoy some of my favorite shots from the shoot!
