First, I want to thank the wonderful Leola Tillman, VP of the Tampa Bay DSWA chapter, successful GNLD distributor and regular reader and contributor on MLMBlackwoman and our social community, I Love MLMBLackwoman.com. Leola shared an excellent blog post on our social community site called, "Why Blacks may miss the Wellness Revolution and the Network Marketing explosion". The article was written by Three Diamond Director and GNLD Wellness Center Founder, Dr. Shirley Bradley-Carmack....and it is POWERFUL!!
