Journey To ____ Week 3

Welcome to TGAW’s Journey To Greatness Post. We took up a huge goal for 2010 and said we would do at least one thing per week to move closer to that goal. We challenge you to take your own separate journey with us. If you do a vlog/ scrapblog send it and we’ll post OR leave a text comment with your week’s progress :D

Journey To #GetLaidOnTyra

I would really like to say thank-you to Tonya Facey for going the extra mile – today I opened my inbox and she sent me a few numbers from the Tyra show to call! Also to everyone who has re-tweeted, facebooked encouragement or seen me and said they hope it works out – you really have no idea how much you are pushing me!

So as mentioned in the vid, I’m looking for anyone who may be interested in taping themselves on camera to talk about the book – I’ll also e-mail you like 3 or so questions to answer. Leave a comment with your addy OR e-mail it to me sb@shannonteresa.com. How has your week been? Proud of you all! Okay enough chat, til next Sunday…

You can also help by tweeting to Tyra: @TyraBanks checkout how hard @shannontboodram is workin to #GetLaidOnTyra http://tinyurl.com/ygjd5ha

p.s. I just came back from doing the party pictures and everything that I previously complained about happened… smh

    [..YouTube..] Hey Shannon after seeing your videos it piqued my interest and I decided to get Laid. I live in the Bay Area, CA and let me tell you it wasn’t so easy to find the book at Borders lol. I’m not sure if they had a large supply of the book in the first place or just one, but the Borders stores within a 30 my house were “out of stock”. So I ended up buying it online (it should be here this week!) All that to say that you’ve got some fans in the US and they’re buying your book! Keep the faith

    [..YouTube..] Ah, your apartment! Sometimes you have to experience the worse suffering before things start to blow up. I wouldn’t say that losing your favourite old apartment is a great suffering but you sound like your going through a big transition period. I’m so excited to see how you evolve through it. I find myself wondering how I got to one point to my life, without reflecting ,I feel like i’m moving without purpose. LAID ON TYRA HOORAY! I’m so supporting the cause! Love it!

  22. Comment by ZannieZanana on January 31, 2010 11:54 am

    [..YouTube..] @Thosegirlsarewild, Shannon I shall do so. I just need to find a student group who can connect what they’re all about with your book. And yes I go to Ryerson, I know what you mean I dreamed of Ryerson and had my mind on that school for years. Hard program to get into but I made it and their to represent for the lack of African Americans and people of color in general.

    [..YouTube..] I finally ordered your book off amazon! I can’t wait til it gets here to read it! I am very proud to support driven young ladies such as you and Andrea. You guys are a huge inspiration to me to keep pushing towards my goals and dreams! I think everyone needs to hear about this book. The subject matter is soooo overlooked its ridiculous. I’m sure Michael Baisden would love to talk to you too! But keep the faith girl! We are all rooting for you down here in the USofA!
