Black Business Feature | The Face Architect | blackelpasovoice.com

by

Our El Paso Black Pages featured #blackownedbusinessontheborder is the eminent The Face Architect, – Salathia M. Graham Tankuh. Salathia is a local #makeupartist originally from Georgia.
She is a #USArmyVeteran #Mentor #Coach #NetworkingPhenom. We could tell you more, but we invite you to listen for yourself.
 

EPBBN co-founder, Monica Tucker, spoke with #TheFaceArchitect and truly believes Salathia is a catalyst in the field of beauty here in El Paso and beyond.

 
“She is essential to the actualization of building a positive Black presence in the business world on the border. Her very aura translates into Necessary. She wants to see other women, other Black people, and other business owners succeed in life. It is rare to find someone who understands that in a saturated market, you still have a place. Sleep on her if you want to! I’m going to glean from her. She is more than a makeup artist, she is truly a walking epitome of what an entrepreneurial maven is. Salathia believes that those seeking to succeed must remain in a state of learning and growing from others.”

Ailehs Reel Talk

by

We welcome Ailehs Tony to BEP Voice as our resident “Reel Talk” host. Ailehs is a retired combat Veteran who says, “I still strive to serve the Veteran community by not only volunteering in the community, but also providing one on one peer support, coordinating peer support groups, and assisting with community resources.

For self-care, one of things I enjoy doing is going to the movies or watching new TV shows. There is just something about getting lost in the show you are watching, and it’s a nice break from reality.”
