    Helena was a sweet friend who I have known for many years. She was one of the most bubbly, funny, caring people I have ever met. She always made others feel comfortable and she felt like family. Her faith in God was admirable and I know that faith brought her much comfort and strength through the years. I will miss her and I know my husband will miss her kidding him about when he was going to make her some of his delicious zucchini muffins which she loved. Rest in heaven, Helena ~

    I’m so grateful to God for allowing Helena and I to meet through social media seven years ago, it definitely was a divine intervention. I will never forget the moment that I received a call from John Amico professional Haircare corporate office. I’ll never forget the conversation vice president of that company told me this lady and she wants to be on your team and her name is Helena Beams and here’s her number and so I called from the moment she said hello with a bubbly attitude, and you can hear her smile through the phone. It was Destin.
    My prayer was that God will connect me the right teammates that he will want me to align with. They had a great love for the creator and that she did.

    Helen join our Beauty Industry expert team of 400 across the USA we begin to work together her knowledge for being a Beauty Expert was amazing skill set superior and dedicated to her passion to making people look and feel beautiful, but besides that we had a passion to help people in this Beauty Industry to use products that were less cancer Ingredients, we strongly supported together. Helen became our team’s Vice President.

    So we’ll begin to work year after year travel from the East Coast to the West Coast, teaching and educating doing live events to other Licensed beauty experts also doing our weekly zoom classes.
    I will never forget the day that I was nominated to receive a lifetime achievement award from the president of the United States, and I wanted to share this with our team the first person I called and was nominated was Helena. In 2023
    Helena did not only received one the highest awards that a civiliancould receive besides the purple heart from United States President Joe Biden, Helena, also receives an Honorary Doctorate Degree for her humanitarian efforts of doing great and outstanding-work within the Beauty Industry impacting and empowering others in a phenomenal way in the community. I grew to love and respect, a humble and phenomenal woman of God.

    The most important to Helena was Jimmy her son she was such a proud mother. She would tell me stories about your entrepreneurship positive attitude. She was so happy to see you flourish as an entrepreneur and her two beautiful granddaughters and Griffin & piper she loved you girls so much 🌹🌹.

    So many joyful memories We would be laughing until we cry oh my gosh, we would laugh until we cry tears of joy. I remember our promise I will keep my word and continue to push on I’ll never forget your words
    “You Go Girl Make it Happen “

    Thank you for being my friend, sister and my business Bestie.
