Thais MillsComment

Meet the woman who drove 12 hours to share her gripping story. You wont forget her I promise. Sweet as a Georgia peach yet Waller County, Texas is where she calls home Devonka B. is a proud Sustainable Farmer and Owner/Founder of Lillie Of The Valley Farms in Waller County, Texas. Wait there’s more… In the most creative way Devonka dips her massive farmland in vats of Black Girl Magic on a daily basis. Let me paint you a picture as you hold your smart smarty pants phone or as you sit at your desk…

Close your eyes and ponder back to the first orange juice commercial that “stuck” in your head as a kid. Mom stands bewildered all while wondering which juice to pick and all of a sudden you’re whisked away. Like a dream almost. The grocery store front is torn away like paper revealing lavish farmland of where your oranges are grown in style. THAT’S DEVONKA’S FARM!!!

She drove 12 hours from her farm and to my forest here at the Gallery for a day of painting, brunch and overall just a much needed girls time we all deserve. Before she left we went live in my unplanned styled for one of my most gripping interviews to date. We were both so vulnerable which I think most women should do more of. Thanks to you and the entire Lillie Of The Valley Farms staff. Enjoy below!

Glenetta Griffin is changing how women crash glass ceilings in Atlanta Film. Founder of Georgia Media Academy I tripped and fell in love with Mrs. Griffin like so many other Fayetteville moms and dads. Her award-winning Kids Acting Classes. I enrolled my daughter and from the moment my little girl popped in the car after acting class saying,

“ Mom everyone calls her GIGI !! “

I knew I found the right place. It was the brink of Covid and while most businesses were closing she was determined to stay open as a positive source of social interaction for local kids. It was much appreciated.

Iyla learned new approaches to scripts and more. I gave her a flower, she logged on to whatever artsy house this is Im building day by day and the rest is herstory…
