How Taylor Perry SMP Studios is Changing the Hair-Loss Industry
When it comes to hair loss and hair restoration there is more than just a few products or services on the market. Some work well while others don't, but they all tend to have a few things in common. Most are expensive, time-consuming, extremely invasive, inconvenient, and/or any combination of the four. And that is exactly how Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) differs from what is already available on the market and how Taylor Perry SMP Studios is changing the hair-loss industry. SMP is a cosmetic hair tattoo that can mimic a hairline and even hair follicles where needed. This means not only is SMP almost always successful and priced extremely competitively compared to a hair transplant, but it is also not time-consuming at all, is not as invasive as competing procedures, and requires close to no maintenance after the healing period. This makes SMP one of the most successful procedures available in the hair loss industry; so how is it that a majority of the country let alone the world doesn't even know what it is?
With hair loss being a factor in over 70% of men's and over 40% of women's lives, there has been no better time for such an advancement in the hair-loss industry. And Taylor Perry is not only on the frontline of the industry but also regarded as one of the best trainers in the trade. Starting as a barber when he was just 15 years old, the Florida native quickly grew his skillset and range and became widely recognized as a world-class master barber just a few years later. At the age of 18, Perry fell in love with tattoos and the beauty behind the details of some of the designs he saw on friends, family, and even strangers. This inspired Taylor to pick up his first tattoo gun and dive into the competitive industry headfirst.
About five years ago, the artist had a client walk into his barbershop who proceeded to show him his newly scalp-micropigmented scalp. In awe that this was possible, Taylor immediately realized that SMP was a combination of the two things he loved most in the world, cutting hair and tattooing. Instantly he knew that this was something that he could not only do well but it was also something he felt he needed to be a part of. Intending to be the greatest SMP artist in the world, Taylor's journey began.
Today, Taylor Perry Studios is consistently booked solid. With a highly-selective clientele that tends to travel out of state and sometimes even outside of the country to see the Sunshine State native, to say an appointment with Taylor Perry is extremely difficult to come by is an understatement. The renowned artist operates out of his state-of-the-art studio in Hollywood, Florida where he not only works as the leading artist, completing anywhere from 20-40 heads a month but also leads a team of artists and constantly runs training courses and seminars both in-person and online. With a success rate close to 50% higher than the competition, Taylor Perry is not only considered one of the greatest SMP artists in the world but has created and streamlined the most successful SMP training platform in the world as well where he crafts the next generation of the world's best SMP artists.

RIVERSIDE, Calif., July 29, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Mapping Black California (MBC), a product of Black Voice News (BVN), is relaunching its website with a groundbreaking new data tool, the Mapping Black California: Black-Led Organization (BLO) Directory.
The first and only comprehensive statewide interactive map of Black-led organizations in California. This is MBC's newest and most robust flagship project. It is also a response to existing data gaps within the Black community.
"For Black analysis, finding race disaggregated data is a greater challenge than your typical research project […] This Directory is the first step towards the centralized, complete resource on Black determinants California needs," shared Alex Reed, MBC Project Manager.
"This project has been more than a year in the making." Mapping Black California Founder Paulette Brown-Hinds said. "We couldn't have done this without consistent and ongoing support from our partners."
Spearheaded by the MBC team, the BLO Directory will receive additional technical support from a RomoGIS to expand its feature offerings. The Directory has received funding support from The Google News Initiative, The California Endowment (IECF) and SoCalGas. SoCalGas has been one of the projects lead partners, encouraging its continued expansion.
"The mapping project gave us better insights into our giving and support in the Black community measured against data on population needs. It also created not only a database, but a geographical visual of Black-led nonprofits serving California. Elevating this work to help more Black-led nonprofits expand their service in the community is important to me personally, and to SoCalGas," shared SoCalGas Community Relations Director, Trisha Muse.
The BLO Directory uses GIS data, specifically Esri's ArcGIS, Story Maps, and ArcGIS Hub, to support data visualization. It leverages and expands existing regional lists and databases to provide a more holistic view of the state's organizations led by Black people developing solutions for Black communities.
The interactive map allows users to apply multiple search filters based on their specific query including youth, civic, senior, health services and more. Designed to be a living project, Reed and the MBC team consistently update the database to make sure that site users have the most accurate information available.
The BLO Directory is the cornerstone project demonstrating BVN's continued commitment to problem-solving using reliable data and community input. BVN is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. This type of longevity is rare for any publication and it is especially significant for the Black woman-owned media news outlet.

Bobby Torrence, a father, grandfather, and husband, has completed his new book "Return to the Garden of Eden": a spiritual guide for those who are seeking truth and enlightenment.
Torrence writes that the scriptures laid out in "Return to the Garden of Eden" will act as the Holy Spirit for readers: "As a child of life being born into the world, assistance was needed through the first stages of childbirth—being cared for and nurtured. We then learned to turn over and start crawling. Eventually with someone's help we stood up. With assistance of their hands, we began to walk. Soon after, we were walking unassisted. Such is the same path to the Holy Spirit. We must return to the beginning with the Holy Spirit as our guide just as a child learning to walk, and when we are worthy to let go of the hand that has guided us in the direction we should go, we are sent forth to prophesize to the world."
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Bobby Torrence's enriching book serves to guide readers who are on a difficult path in life's journey. Torrence's writing will carve out a positive path for readers to continue their spiritual journey. Readers who are seeking the truth of life will be guided by the scriptures that Torrence prayed for.
Torrence allowed faith to guide him when writing this book: "Having prayed for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding for direction to a life worth living, words and scriptures began to fill my mind subconsciously; and for the past thirty-seven years, this book is the final result." He hopes that his writing will bring the return of faith, strength, and perseverance.
Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase "Return to the Garden of Eden" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.
