ebby.K in the News - Everyday is my Runway

I can not BELIEVE that we are weeks away from the end of 2013 -ready or not 2014 IS HERE!!!!

So much has happened in 2013 and it's time that I do a quick recap starting with my TV appearance on WCCB Charlotte News Rising Everyday Runway segment with model Jennifer Michelle.

The opportunity to share my story was truly ordained by God; totally caught me by surprise. I always say, you never know who's watching you and this experience was no exception.

Everything from the fitting at Off Saks 5th in Concord Mills with stylist Enjaneek, having my custom wig created by my long time stylist and friend Tara at Salon Transitions, and getting my face "beat" by the only man I will allow to put makeup on my face, Laron of Prodigal Beauty - this was nothing short of a dream come true for me - I can definitely get used to this! 

Jennifer Michelle, contacted me a week prior to the show's scheduled air date about being on her segment Everyday Runway on WCCB Charlotte to talk about my weight loss journey. I met Jennifer when I volunteered backstage at a fashion show in Charlotte back in April. Who would have known that five months later, Jennifer and I would reconnect and this time it would include a full makeover highlighting the success of my weight loss - WOW

What's funny is that I started to buckle down in my weight loss late March/early April. So when I met Jennifer, Classy Fit Gal (me, ebby.K) was working on herself in the background on the low low not realizing that the birthing of my "baby" was happening as I began to work on me - isn't that CRAZY!

Let's just say this experience was nothing short of amazing and I totally felt comfortable in front of the camera; they called me a "natural" at this. #smiling

Honestly, I thought I would be nervous but NOT! I was actually more excited than anything. I knew I had just a few minutes to not only talk about why I started my weight loss journey but was also given the opportunity to share my heart - my love - Classy Fit Gals.

Having the opportunity to share my story with people outside of my social network was nothing short of a blessing from the One above.

Below is a snippet of the television segment.

Jennifer also shared my makeover experience on her blog, check it out here.


This was an experience that I take in daily and savor every memory. It's moments of reflections like this that keep me going; especially on days when I feel like giving up.

This journey isn't just for me, but it's for everyone else who is counting on me to succeed.
