Tracia J, your magazine is now in Book-A-Million
Stores and on Newsstands Nationwide, how does this
make you feel? It is so surreal! It is unbelievable that I met
the pioneer in the magazine industry for African American
publications, Mr. John Blassingame. He asked to keep a copy
and within a week of returning home, he contacted us, stating
that the magazine of excellent and refreshing, he went on to
say that his distributors where interested and he offered us a
national distribution deal. Within six months we were on store
shelves in Books-A-Million and on newsstands. When I walked
into my local store in Fultondale, AL, I was thrilled, I had a smile
on my face from ear to ear. It was real, it was so exciting!! I took
photos and video and started calling everybody and posting the
historic news. It’s amazing to have people recognize me from
seeing me on the cover. While visiting Nashville, TN, as I was
getting my nails done, the Nail Tech said that she saw me on
the cover of a magazine at Books-A-Million in the local mall. I
am very grateful to God who has blessed me to accomplish
this, I appreciate all who helped make this dream come true
and all those who support me by purchasing my magazine and
hair care products. My hair care products and magazine are
also available on Amazon.com, with the most savings found on
wwwSimplyStraightbyTraciaJ.com.

How does it feel to share the cover with the esteemed
Bronner Brothers? It is, truly, an honor to stand beside
members of this legendary family, now, an international
conglomerate. They are the pillars of the industry and the
shoulders that I, and all who have come after them, stand on in
world of hair care. When I heard that they were coming to shoot
the cover with me, I was taken back and overwhelmed with joy.
My great grandmother had a salon, attended their trade shows
and now that I am in the hair care industry, I attend as well.
They embody all that I am doing with my hair care line and
international magazine. This magazine edition is dedicated to
the history and the second generation who now propels the
st
company into the 21 century and beyond.

What are you working on, now? I am, currently, filming a
new reality TV shows, “Fashionaires of Atlanta” (and New
York), which is now on Directv and all social media platforms,
watch anywhere on Sundays at 7pm on YouTube. The show
follows fashion industry professional as we build our brands
while dealing with drama that reality tv brings. I am also filming,
“Real Talk,” to be released this year, as well as other projects. I
am continuing to expand my brand as I prepare to launch into
more stores and then Internationally. Also, I am working in the
community to give back by participating in back to school
events, feeding the homeless and my annual toy drive. I am
also preparing for the next Bronner Brother’s show and working
on campaigns surrounding the magazine and the tv show
Thank you to my team and all who support me and my brand!
