E' Mae is a joyful, spirited and self-taught jewelry designer.  E' Mae has a passion for creating things, and her personal outlet to satisfy this consuming interest is by visualizing and, designing wearable jewelry.  Every piece of artwork is hand-craft to reflect the true character and personality of teens and women.

​

At the tender age of 7, E' Mae was visually inspired by art, color and design.  When her academic schoolwork was completed; she was given rewarding opportunities to assist her mother with creating fashionable clothing and to work alongside her dad learning about tools while creating parts for auto mechanic repairs.  In high school, E' Mae was a member of the drill team, marching band, track and field; and front line dance leader for the ballet and jazz dance group.  After graduating from the Community College of Philadelphia; where she earned a certificate in Business, and a dual degree in Management and Marketing, 

E' Mae had a strong desire to create things with her tools.  

​

One day, E' Mae looked into the mirror to put on her earrings and thought for a moment,

"Aha, these earrings are heavy, I need to remove some of these stones and to make sure that the earrings were weight appropriate for my ears."  Then, off to the craft store she went to buy beads and supplies needed.  E' Mae begin to create many pieces of jewelry in her basement.  E' Mae was asked on few occasion by her friends and associates, "Why can't you make it to the event?"  She replied,  "I'm working on my ABEN project."  The acronym for anklets, bracelets, earrings and necklaces."  E' Mae knew that taking her personal time to create jewelry would lead to something great.  One day, E' Mae began to think while she was designing, how nice it would be to teach jewelry making to her students.  E' Mae began to find different ways to sell her jewelry in order to raise funds for teaching jewelry making classes. 

​

E' Mae spent a great deal of time working long hours, traveling and serving as a vendor at many community events; including colleges, libraries, flea markets, and festivals held on the historical grounds of Cliveden Carriage House located in the Germantown section of  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

​

As a safe haven for inner-city middle school students, E' Mae voluntarily taught free jewelry making classes on holidays and during the summer.  Each session began with mathematics and spelling tests that were reviewed together as a group.  E' Mae instilled a sense of kindness, confidence and hope to her students.  They knew that one day, they would grow up to become productive members of society.

​

E' Mae's artwork has been on display numerous times at the African-American Museum in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Peninsula Fine Arts Center in Newport News, Virginia.  E' Mae has been awarded certificates and letters of appreciation, for her self-less acts of giving back to the community.
