See What You Look Like Natural With The Big Chop App.

In 2011, Washington D.C. native Arsha Jones co-founded Capital City Apps; hence the name “Capital City”, with her husband as a platform to venture into technology related business ventures. Jones has always had an interest in Apple products including its apps, but noticed there were not many that targeted the African-American community.

 

“One day I searched iTunes for apps from different countries around the world and there were thousands available from Asian countries to Middle Eastern, so I thought maybe I could do the same for people of color,” Jones says. “I wanted to create mobile applications for African-Americans who want to see images of their culture and ideas represented in the App store.”

 

Jones then went on to create Capital City’s flagship product, the Big Chop App. The Big Chop App is an instant hair makeover app designed specifically for African-American women wanting to try out natural hairstyles.

“Being natural myself, I thought creating The Big Chop App would be a great entry into the market especially since natural hair is such a booming business at the moment,” Jones says. “I have often struggled with my hair while trying to find a new style and then realizing half-way through the process I didn’t like it, this app eliminates that.”

 

Users will be able to upload their own photo or use one from Facebook and then choose one of the 250+ natural hairstyles that come from various publications and some Jones has created herself. Styles are categorized by styles like TWA’s (Teeny Weeny Afros), Medium, Long, Braids/Dreadlocks or Accessories. After a style is selected the user can share it via Facebook, Twitter and E-mail.

An Opportunity To Tell Your Story Of Infidelity On O.W.N. (…and Help Heal Somebody)


By Aiyana Ma’at

How does it feel to tell your story? It can be a little scary. It is exciting. It brings hope and healing to your heart. It is definitely freeing. You have the opportunity to work with Ayize and I and allow us to help you pull the lessons from the drama and the trauma of infidelity….and oh, what an opportunity it is.

Are you interested in sharing your story for a project we’re working on with the Oprah Winfrey Network? We’re looking for couples who have experienced infidelity in their relationship or marriage and are open to sharing what happened in their relationship–the good, the bad, and the ugly. If infidelity ENDED your relationship… we are looking for you!  If you all are in the middle of dealing with infidelity..we are looking for you!  If yall have overcome infidelity… we are looking for you.  The most important thing we want to pull away are the lessons learned, insight gained, and personal growth experienced through the pain.

My husband and I will need to work with you to talk about the infidelity and where you are now versus where you were then–at the time of the infidelity. You can either still be together or divorced. If you and your ex are no longer together, you don’t necessarily have to talk to or see each other to do the show. Your story and the lessons learned are what’s most important. Selected couples will appear on a national television network along with my husband and I.

If you know of anyone who may be interested, please let us know and they or you can call us to discuss more and get details about things such as:

-How will the process work if the couple is no longer together or don’t get along that well?

-What about privacy and confidentiality of the 3rd party (the one(s) who the spouse was cheating with) ?

-What if there are concerns about children?

We know this is a sensitive issue and there will very likely be a lot of questions which we along with the producer can answer.

Ayize and I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to work with major media to bring a transformative and healing light to the complex issue of infidelity.

At the end of the day all of life’s situations are here to grow us and help us learn a much needed lesson. Once we’ve learned the lesson we have a responsibility to teach what we know and the producer’s of this show are all about that so please let us know if you or any couples you know of may be interested.

You can call us directly at 202-599-0234 or email us at info@bintentional.com

This is an opportunity to tell your story and  use your life to help millions of others!

 

Tips For Couples To Survive Financial Stress During The Holidays

By Team BLAM

The holidays often bring areas of conflict to the surface that can prove to be very stressful for couples. One of those areas are money. How much should be spent on Christmas presents? Should we buy for extended family and friends? One partner feels a card and a simple token item for family is good enough and the other partner feels that is insufficient and insists they must do more!

Deborah Price, author of “The Heart of Money,” offers tips for couples to get through the stress of personal finances. Listen in and let us know how you’re handling the stress that money can bring during the holiday season.

Coaching Via SKYPE or PHONE



*Please read the definitions below so that you are familiar with the kind of work that we will be doing.*


Traditional therapy or counseling looks at a person’s past, which usually includes some form of trauma. Deals with healing emotional pain or conflict within an individual or in a relationship between two people. The emphasis in a counseling relationship is identifying emotional and psychological wounds so that barriers can be moved.

Coaching looks at a person’s present, in order to help them design and act toward the future.  While positive feelings may be a natural outgrowth, the primary focus is on creating do-able strategies for achieving specific goals in your life. The emphasis in a coaching relationship is on action, accountability and follow through.

We combine COACHING & COUNSELING
