Introducing: The Legacy of the Rare Looks Sorority Shield

During the journey of Rare Looks Inc., Mia wanted to dive deep and provide mentorship opportunities to her customers and the community. Sorority’s are extremely common social organizations at colleges and universities. Similarly known as “Greek Life.” Mia saw a lack of the same structure in the general population and decided to take action by providing a similar support system for women empowerment.

Rare Looks Sorority was created in 2019 as a non-profit organisation in efforts to give back to the community. The objective of Rare Looks Sorority is to stimulate the higher self of its members. The sorority has great passion in the promotion of healing and greatness throughout several communities, such as knowledge enhancement, truth to power, family strengthening, environmental ownership and global impact. Rare Looks Sorority aspires to encourage the highest and noblest form of all.

Black Panther

Black Panther knows and is the essence of focused power, the power you seek, the power that unleashes your truth.  For when you are ready to face your fears you face your truth, when you face your truth, you come face to face with who you really are and what you were born to be and become.

Ankh

The Ankh is pure Feminine Energy! Ankh is an ancient amulet, wand and hieroglyph that symbolizes life, creation and eternity.

The Woman

Representing the Goddess of today! In process of getting her hair done or in process of taking her hair extensions out!

The Womb Symbol

Yoni  Mudra, like a fetus in the womb, the practitioner of yoni mudra stays out of contact with the outer world and experiences a state of bliss. The additional benefits of yoni mudra include:

* Promotes flow of energy

* Calms the mind

* Alleviates stress

* Promotes mental clarity

* Strengthens the nervous system

Yoni mudra is an excellent practice to be combined with meditation as it blocks distractions of all sorts.

Rare Looks Sorority maintains partnerships with and supports other nonprofit organizations like E.V.A.H (ending violence at home) and more to come. Community service events such as the Black Panther Movement played a critical role in the journey of Rare Looks Sorority.

As a pledge, we plan on being a powerful force in embracing and educating our youth while passing on vital knowledge through existing and future generations.

Rare Looks Sorority’s website has been officially launched and is up and running! The Rare Looks Soroity shield plays a huge presence in what we do. We hold great passion in our Rare Looks Sorority shield, which was specifically curated to represent empowerment within our community. To learn more about our shield, please take some time to check our website at rarelookssororityinc.org

We are happy to announce our first event and would be delighted to partner with you in taking a pledge for our community. Rare Looks Sorority will be hosting a back to school drive, just in time for the 2019-2020 school year. We will be gifting backpacks and school supplies for children and families who are in need. So many kids go back to school without the supplies they need, and with the support of the community and our partners, we hope to collect enough school supplies to provide for as many families with what they need for their children to enter the new school year ready to learn.

We are super excited to feature Anthony as our first official guest on Rare Looks Blog. Anthony is a dedicated fitness professional with a wealth of experience. We would like to take this time to honor his journey and service towards the health and wellness community.

Join us in a fun Q&A interview with Anthony below!

Anthony’s Journey

Question 1

Q: What inspired you to start your journey towards health and why is health so important to you?

A: What inspired me in the beginning was just me feeling better. Living a active but very unhealthy lifestyle was catching up to me. So when I turned 35 years old 5 years ago I decided to treat myself better and it's been the best investment ever.

Question 2

Q: If you could give any word of advice to anyone struggling with making changes to their health, what would it be?

A: If I could give people advice on health and fitness I would first ask them is this something you really want for yourself.  Because this is going to take a consistent grind, 2nd I would suggest them come up with a program and structure that they can be consistent with, and I really think it helps finding a community or finding friends to do this with them. I really think a support system helps a lot. And the last thing you have to be patient with this it isn't going to happen overnight.  

Question 3

Q:Walk us through your typical day as a personal trainer.

A: My typical day starts with me first I really believe in practicing what you preach. So I workout 5 days a week, I also have fit camps that I run 4 days out of the week for my local clients.  

Question 4

Q: How do you access clients and how can potential clients get in touch with you?

A: How I get most of my clients is word of mouth and social media. Predominantly Instagram. Paying attention to who watches my stories and who likes my post. Reaching out to them and sharing what I do and what I offer as a wellness coach.

Thank you Mia for asking me to do this!!!!

Men’s health month is a great opportunity to show what we all can do to help men all year. Below is our short list to appreciate and show care towards the important men in your life.

• Encourage him to get a physical- Many of the factors that contribute to a shorter life expectancy for men are often preventable. Being proactive begins by taking action and seeing a healthcare professional regularly.
• Encourage him to get physical- It has been scientifically proven that physical activity plays a huge role in the quality of life for people to stay healthy. Some find it difficult to stay motivated to exercise on their own. Take this as an opportunity to join a loved one in recreational activities or a group personal training session. 
• Let him know you care- One reason men disregard their own health is that they’re too busy taking care of everyone else. Many men have a habit of dealing with chronic pain or symptoms without the help from a medical professional. Remind a loved one that their health is important to you. Encourage them to put themselves as a priority.
• Wear blue- In 1994, Congress passed a bill declaring the week before Father’s Day as Men’s Health Week (this year, it’s June 10-16). Encourage family and friends to wear blue that week.

The Face Behind Rare Looks Inc.

Mia Ross is a Southern California native who grew up loving fashion and beauty. Her passion developed into a career which turned into the establishment of Rare Looks Inc.

In 2015, Mia saw a lack of love and empowerment within the fashion and beauty industry surrounding women of color who wore hair extensions She observed women who liked to change their look with hair extensions. They were being stereotyped and targeted as being a victim of self-hate. Mia being a conscious black woman, educated on the history of hair extensions, fashion, and beauty. Dated back to c. 3100 BC. Mia knew that self hate wasn’t always the case. In fact, past scholars spend an abundance of time understanding history and discovered loose human hair in archaeological sites and in the tombs. According to an article published in the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, these findings were indeed wigs and hair extensions. They were very common in Kemet amongst Queens and Kings, as it is still prevalent today among women of color.

Mia felt it was her duty to stand up for women and young girls around the world and create not just a brand but a lifestyle that encourages all to do what genuinely makes them fierce and happy. Whether it being the presence or absence of a wig, to afro on Tuesday, or 30” inches of hair extensions on Wednesday, her dream was to create a safe haven and affordable option for those creative minds that have a high interest in fashion, beauty and hair industry. There were not many options in surrounding areas that gave an artistic and creative edge in the interest of local citizens. Due to a lack of resources, she began to gain feedback from the community and wanted to make their needs a reality. Having access to the things that made the market scarce made a great opportunity to provide a solution.

Rare Looks is characterized around igniting the soul, and making people feel valuable within their passion and love towards the luxury market.
