I loved the magazine, especially the cover of Crystal on it. The magazine gave what it was suppose to, I loved seeing a bunch of black women talk about how they started in their careers!
Love the edition. Crystal Hayslett looked amazing! I was excited for the physical copy. The only issue which was out you all’s control was UPS bending my package and resulting in my copy being bent.
I really enjoy being a Glow Member with Grind Pretty and the perks are amazing. I've been able to network with other black women entrepreneurs and learn some interesting new things that I wouldn't had known if I wasn't for the Grind Pretty team. The network of woman, the lifetime partnerships, community, & connections are indeed a blessing!
