Deborah Glass
As a Believer and consistently on a journey for growth and discovery, Deborah Glass focused on her passion for entrepreneurship. After retirement in 2002, is became a burning desire for Deborah to discover what was going to be next in her life.
A relative was experiencing hair loss and not getting good results from hairstylists. Deborah was able to design and patent an innovative Comb-N-Weave hair piece, No Sew No Glue and No Clip for all ethnic groups of women. Her design would prevent further damage to many women hair and scalp. www.blackpridebeauty.com
Deborah developed a journal called ASK GOD that teach you how to go to GOD with your prayer request and write it down in black ink but when GOD answers your prayer, you record it in red ink. It doesn’t replace the bible it is a tool that will help you build a closer relationship with GOD. The book is sold on Amazon but if you go to my website and order you will get the red and black ink pens with your book. www.deborahglassenterprises.com
