The other amazing Woman of Color-owned local business I had the privilege of interviewing for the upcoming BraidedMagazine x Moody Collab Issue was 414loral!! 414loral started as a hobby for owner and head floral designer Mikel McGee but is now a thriving business located on MLK Drive. Mikel says of her passion for flowers: “I really enjoy seeing how receiving flowers impacts people and the joy that it brings them. That’s been a motivation and something that keeps me going: seeing how the community responds to flowers.” Explore floral arrangements and more about 414loral on their social media and in the full interview coming soon.💐
Congratulations to my beautiful niece the Bride and now Mrs. 414loral Your wedding was a living testimony to What’s the BEST that can happen?! 🦚 I’m so proud of you and Ray. I know your honeymoon and life together will be a beautiful and blessed journey. Thanks for having us.
Congrats to Matthew + Mo!

Some friends just get you.
These stunning flowers just arrived, right here, right now, in the middle of a dark, frozen winter. Their scent is unbelievable. Thank you, Lilliann, Warren, and August. You are dear and beautiful people.
Shout out to 414loral for the remarkable design composition and some very unusual flowers. I'm in heaven over here.

Stopped at Sherman Phoenix to drop off some postcard sets at Kujichagulia Producers Cooperative, and gathered some wonderfully handmade goodness on the way out.
I got the flowers from 414loral, the Alice's Garden Urban Farm muscle rub and Herbs 'N Lather 23-herb hair dressing at the coop. Also stopped at the The Underground Makers Market to say hey to Jamila Riley J. Riley and get this scalp oil and beard oil from Butterscotch Baby. We’re wrapping up our Saturday with a little
for our bodies and hearts from beautiful Black women businesses.
