(BlackNews.com) - When the American Baby Faire opens their
doors in Schaumburg, IL on November 4, 2006, Ethnic Inspirations
by Marshaé was there. A Mom-Prenuer and the next innovator
of home decorating for children, M. Ramona Dorsey is a young
African American Entrepreneur who has created an entire collection
of decorative products for young children. Her collections
offer various themes with hand-painted appearance.
The products
now include artistic borders, murals, custom drapes, bed skirts,
pillow cases, throw pillows and artistic prints all featuring
African American children. Her first collection is called
the "Expressions of Children". When asked, Ramona explains
that her collections are not merely for decorating but serve
as a source for providing inspiration, purpose and vision
to young children. She believes each child has his/her own
uniqueness to be acknowledged and celebrated. She wants to
give every child the opportunity to be touched and inspired
having these products in their home. The next designs, which
will hit the market in February 2007, feature Hispanic Ballerinas,
African American Golfers and Cheerleaders.
Ramona
began Ethnic Inspirations by Marshaé in April 2002 when
she noted that there were very few wall coverings and
bedroom accessories featuring African American children.
Unable to find these products, she commissioned an artist,
Ann Mount, and created an entire line of products for
decorating children’s rooms. The second collection called
the "Adinkra Collection" features borders with inspirational
African Adinkra symbols signifying strength, royalty
and achieving the impossible.
As a single mother of three beautiful children she knows
the importance of meeting the needs of the family and
inspiring children. She believes in supporting children
in their own endeavors. Besides maintaining a demanding
fulltime position with a Fortune 500 Wireless company,
she is a super Mom supporting her children in every
way possible. She is busy carpooling kids to school,
volunteering at their school, getting homework done,
running her kids between soccer and football practice,
and managing all the other household duties. When she
completes her daily mommy duties, she changes gears
to entrepreneur and gets hard at work on driving her
business and the product line she now offers.
Ethnic Inspirations by Marshaé recently received national
certification as a Women Owned Business. With certified
status, Ramona plans to pursue supplier/vendor relationships
with various retailers, expand the array of African
American products and diversify her product line to
include children of other cultural groups. Ramona is
a native of the U. S. Virgin Islands and currently lives
in the Atlanta, Georgia Metro Area.
