Television audiences have come to know Linyette as the out-of-the-box, no-nonsense, designing diva on the Style Network's hit reality series, " Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?". She is also the Senior Contributing Editor and featured columnist for "Signature Bride" magazine, a wedding/lifestyle publication specifically designed for the African-American bride and groom.

Posh Goddess™ Spotlight on Linnyette Richardson-Hall To be a successful business woman today means: "Basically-it takes guts and determination. It also takes a significant amount of vision- you have to be able to see what it is you're doing as well as the route you need to take in order to get your goal. I find that many women still live in the "shoulda, woulda, coulda" world - and to be perfectly, bluntly honest (as I always am), you can't do that and expect to run a thriving, successful enterprise. It simply ain't gonna happen!!! Instead focus on what the long term picture is, you know that you want to be the 'mistress of your own destiny'. Then by all means do it! Don't allow other folks to whisper in your ear about your business - how you run the game is all on you..." Linnyette's Posh Goddess™ Words of Wisdom: "You must be passionate about your business. Live it, eat it , breathe it, - let it come through every fiber of your being. When you invest that knid of energy into your enterprise, it comes back twenty-fold. And lastly - speak truth to the universe. That may sound kinda sketchy, but the buttom line is real. When you send positive vibes and pathways out - they come back to you. If your heart and soul is invested in what you, then let the world know. Don't be shy - simply have no reason to be!!!
