    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Damon Haley.

    He has delved into the beauty industry by acquiring and transforming existing beauty businesses. His beauty brand ‘Glow + Flow Beauty’ is reimagining the shopping experience for black and brown communities.

    Gone are the days of poor service, fractured relationships and harmful products. Damon’s goal is to create a healthy environment for women, men, girls and boys to shop, learn and grow as their needs change. He is also launching multiple product lines and is franchising the business model.

    They Intelligently and Excellently (1).

We are a beauty retail concept that provides manufacturers of color an opportunity to share, socialize and sell its products to women of color directly.

Damon has mastered the art of designing, developing and implementing campaigns that appeal to consumers, sponsors, clients, partners and investors, all the while attracting targeted audiences and promoting the brand as well as delivering millions in impressions and revenues.

  • Making A Difference: Prepares students for PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams and scholarship opportunities.
    Nov 21 2024

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jennifer Ledwith.

    She has a business degree from the University of Oklahoma. She is the owner of Scholar Ready, an educational services company. She meets with clients online and her company Scholar Ready tutors Math, conducts personal essay writing workshops, and prepares students for PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams.

    Houston native, entrepreneur, and educator, Jennifer Ledwith understood from a young age that education and literacy were crucial to success. Again and again, people told her that her mother — a single parent with serious debt and no child support — made too much money for her to get any free money for college.

    She didn't finish in the top 10% of her high school class (which is academic poison in her home state of Texas).

    Thankfully, her PSAT scores were high, and she could write the essays to get the money.

    She knew how to beg for money tactfully in 100 words. She knew why she wanted to get a business degree from the University of Oklahoma. From her junior year of high school to her junior year of college, she wrote essays for over 30 scholarships. She won enough money to pay for tuition and fees.

    She had the most scholarships when she walked across the stage at graduation. The announcer was still reading them after she had crossed the stage.

    Even then, she didn't have enough money for school. She worked and worked and continued to apply for scholarships. She graduated from an out-of-state university (University of Oklahoma) with no credit card debt and only $1,000 in student loans. Hey, a girl needs plane tickets.

    Jennifer Ledwith is the owner of Scholar Ready, an educational services company. She meets with clients online. She also studied Personal Financial Planning at Rice University and is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™.

    Company Description *
    Scholar Ready tutors Math, conducts personal essay writing workshops, and prepares students for PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams.

    Many of Scholar Ready's students have earned academic scholarships, including full rides to Mississippi Valley State University, Fordham University, Texas A & M University, and the University of Houston-Clear Lake.

    We strive to instill our students with confidence that is earned and true. We teach them how to learn, how to advocate for what they need in the classroom, how to study, and how to set goals and expectations. We do not allow our students to be limited by experiences of the world they currently inhabit. We want them to have the confidence and work ethic to reach a better life and achieve any goal they set for themselves.
