The nature of my content here at Candid Chicana Blog will also be shifting. I will continue to blog on this original wordpress platform as Candid Chicana. But I have slightly altered my three main topics from Chicano Culture, Spiritual Growth, Self-Development to, Chicano Culture, Creativity, and Commerce. I have evolved both personally and professionally and so I feel that is the direction I want to take my blog in.

I want to personally thank Texas Women’s University and the Center For Women Entrepreneur’s. TWU awarded $250,000 in grant funds to Texas Women Veteran Entrepreneur’s. And I was blessed to be selected as one of the 27 recipients, for a $10,000 business grant to help fund my startup – lingerie boutique.

I am so thankful that ya’ll (TWU CWE) believed in me, in my dream, and my business plan. I appreciate how ya’ll also provided a business advisor. Justina Shaw – THANK YOU gorgeous lady! You helped me crunch the numbers and get the financial part of my business plan just right. I couldn’t have done it without you. And to all of the mentors at TWU CWE. I am eternally grateful for all of the support, mentorship, and webinars.

Both of my young adult daughters have joined me in this new business venture.

Destiny Ane Statam will serve as the Chief Financial Officer of La Loba Lingerie. Destiny will be getting her certifications in Bookkeeping, and Accounting at the Goodwill Leadership Academy. The accounting cert also comes with a transferable college credit.

Faith Raquel Statam will serve as the Brand Spokeswoman for La Loba Lingerie. Faith has experience in dance and modeling. She will facilitate the events, recruit plus size models for fashion shows, and be the public figure for the La Loba Lingerie brand.

I, Deanna Guadalupe Montalvo, am working on obtaining my certification in Entrepreneurship/Small Business through the Goodwill Leadership Academy. I will be taking the ESB exam after completing 150 hours of study. The entrepreneurship cert comes with a transferable college credit.

We will be hosting our first LINGERIE LIVE SALE via Facebook Live on Aug 28 at 7p.m. If this is something that interests you, please join us! Click the link below to access the event. And please share this post. Thank you.

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. “

-Greek Proverb

What does a girl do when she needs some reassurance about her self-image?

She loves HERSELF!

I contacted artist Jason Shonk, because I am a fan of his art work.

I love his P.H.A.T. Beauties Collection. I have been his follower on Facebook for some time now.

Nervously, I messaged him and asked him if he would draw a portrait of me. I’m so happy he agreed to do it, because I know he has a lot of work already.

But I’m very happy that he decided to produce a work of art for me. I could have gone to a photographer and took pictures, and that would be ok I guess.

But I’ve already done the whole glamour shots thing when I was younger. To have an ARTIST๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽจ paint ๐ŸŽจa portrait๐Ÿ–ผof me-is PRICELESS!!! I feel like ๐ŸŒนRose๐ŸŒน,in Titanic, ๐Ÿšขwell minus the whole nudity, or in love thing. Ok, maybe NOT like Titanic movie at all. But you get the ………….. ๐Ÿ“ธ”PICTURE!“๐Ÿ“ธ(he he, pun intended) It’s a special piece of art.๐Ÿ’™

They say,”A picture is worth a thousand words.” That’s an understatement! I was enamored with every step leading up to the finished portrait.

Please visit Mr. Jason Shonk’s website and check out what he’s been working on. If you feel inclined to browse and purchase your favorite piece, tell him I, Deanna, sent you his way.

Mr. Jason Shonks masterful art work can be found at his new website. I’ve attached the link below. Please pay him a visit and let’s show him some support, as he supports uplifting the bbw community, and all women of all shapes and sizes.
