AntiWeak's Up & Coming Model of the Month: Cara Crockett

"AntiWeak's Up & Coming Model of the Month: Cara Crockett" 

Cara Crockett is an intelligent, ambitious, success driven 20 year old female from the South side of Chicago, IL. She is looking to enter into the industry of modeling by building and expanding her portfolio through the AntiWeak brand. When asked "What does it mean to be 'AntiWeak'?", Cara gave us her definition on the word that everyone's been asking about. 

"AntiWeak isn't just a logo. It's a word that describes me. Being able to dust yourself off, pick yourself up, and try again is an AntiWeak state of mind. What makes a young African American female like myself Antiweak? Dedication. Hard work. Independence. Great team effort & a strong mindset makes me AntiWeak. Never ever giving up on what it is that YOU believe in. Never letting anyone tell you that you aren't capable of becoming something extravagant. Your inner beauty shines on the outside as well. Treating people the way they deserve to be treated and sometimes smiling though you may be deeply saddened inside. To be AntiWeak means to stand tall where no one is capable of knocking you down, reminding yourself daily that you serve a purpose, and lastly but not least remembering our worth and not for the least bit letting another tell you otherwise. AntiWeak is ME! After all, only the strong survive. "

To Achieve Your Dreams Remember AntiWeak ABC's

"To Achieve Your Dreams Remember AntiWeak ABC's"

Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits

Believe in yourself

Consider things from every angle

Don't give up and don't give in

Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come 

Family and friends are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy their riches

Give more than you planned to 

Hang on to your dreams

Ignore those people who try to discourage you

Just do it!

Keep trying no matter how hard it seems, it will get easier

Love yourself first and most 

Make it happen!

Never lie, cheat, or steal, always strike a fair deal

Open your eyes and see things as they really are 

Practice makes perfect!

Quitters never win and winners never quit 

Read, study, and learn about everything important in your life 

Stop procrastinating!! 

Take control of your own destiny 

Understand yourself in order to better understand others 

Visualize it!

Want it more than anything!

Xcellerate your efforts 

You are unique of all God's creations nothing can replace you!

Zero in on your target and go for it!

Poetry Contest Submission : " Who Are You? " - a poem written by Dejah Mcgrew-Stephens

Who Are You?

A world of destruction behind those eyes...

Whose tongue with words cut sharper than knives. 

But you shed a past of pain, darkness, and lies,

I wonder...who are you?

Father, mother, sister, brother...

Do I want to dig any further?

Who are you?

Child reborn unto the sand,

An untold story just began,

& simply want those to understand,

who are you?

Your apart of this world that was created.

A presence so powerful it was belated.

A knowledge so unknown that it seemed outdated...

But I know who you are,

You're a sense of imagination,

That produces a tone of gratification,

That makes me say "thank God we made it!" 

Develop Winning Traits to Take You to the Top

"Develop Winning Traits to Take You

 to the Top"

• Focus. Identify a handful of key goals you'd like to achieve over the next 12 months. A goal is a dream with a deadline. Get a picture of who you are on the inside- strong, healthy, successful- so God can bring it to pass on the outside. The only way to get better is to surround yourself with better people. Major moves never come from minor thinking. Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets. Only two things will consume you every day of your life: your goals and your obstacles. Read, study, and learn  about everything important in your life. Understand yourself in order to better understand others. Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of knowing you did your best to become the best you that you were capable of being. Achievement demands discipline. 

• Be Consistent. The best way to create change is by practicing new behavior regularly and frequently. Ask yourself, "What is the most important habit I need to develop (or eliminate) to reach my goal?" And then practice it regularly. Some succeed because they are destined to, while others succeed because they are determined to. Visualize your success then begin to work towards it! The distance between who you are and who you wish to become is separated only by your words and actions. Do your best, one shot at a time...then, move on. The only way to learn anything throughly is by starting at the bottom, (except when learning how to swim). You are not defeated when you lose, you are defeated when you quit. Develop the courage to move on, even when everyone around you is telling you its ok to give up. Be diligent. Don't quit because of hardships, discomfort, or uncertainty. 

• Keep Going. As you achieve each goal, add a new one. Once your new habit becomes an old one, focus on the next habit you want to develop to reach your goals. "Learning" always comes before "earning". Get a mentor, mentors can help you get to your destination faster. Find people you can learn from. Don't run away from a challenge, instead run towards it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet. Always try your best, even if you fail....Keep trying! God sees your work, your passion and persistence. Face your shortcomings. Success is found in overcoming yourself. Don't be controlled by weaknesses. 

• Be Accountable. Take ownership of your success by taking the responsibility to see it through completion. Practice loving everything and everyone all the time, but only hang in places and with people who lift you up. Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is A LOT of hard work and dedication. Decide what you desire to have out of life, and plan it. If you believe that you can do it, don't lose your passion! The pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret. Take accountability. Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail! As much as you may be a dreamer, be a chaser! 

To be tested is good.

 The challenged life may be the best therapist.

Positivity is a way of life.

 Those who don't practice it won't understand this.
