As far as my business being the first of its kind in the DDA would be true, but she should know that if she read The Detroit News. This was a surprise to me at the time.
Let me not forget to say, how I open my store Fancy Lingerie Plus LLC. from customers that have know me working as a Manager at different Name Brand Companies and people that I have went to college with. I have no need to explain who I am to Valerie. She has never been a customer of Fancy Lingerie Plus, because if she was she would really know who I am. I went in front of the city of Redford recently to have a restriction removed from my store and was granted. I have lived up to everything I said my store would be. A Lingerie Store Created for Plus Size Woman and have stood by my every word.

I would have never thought that she would have betrayed me like she did. Yes I did tell Valerie Lockhart that my Rochelle Allen was part of my name which is true and maybe I shouldn’t have said that who is Rochelle Allen, but at that time I couldn’t believe what she had done. I never had a NOBODY run a background check on me unless I applied at for a job. What gives her the right? I wanted to shield the my personal life. I knew at that time she was desperate for a story. I have no reason to lie about something I don’t have. I have worked very hard to get here and I will never let someone like her take that away from me. She can say all she wants about having credible witnesses. The only thing her witnesses can say I have told them is I have a college degree and what type of business I ran.

For some reason I was not able to post this comment to http://the-f-word.org/blog/index.php/2009/01/15/plus-size-entrepreneur-faces-stiff-opposition/

I would like to say to everyone that Valerie Lockhart is making a false Statement.
We never went to court together. I only went in front of the site committee with her one time which at the time and the site committee wanted to reschedule me.
I have no need to lie about my education witch I hold a college degree and that all she need to know. After fighting with the city of Redford about the building on Beech Daly I decided to move my store to a new location. The facts still remains that I was disrespect in so many ways at another Site committee meeting. Valerie Lockhart was never present for that meeting or any other meetings then the first one.
I think that her customers and friends should beware of Valerie Lockhart she pose as a friend and then stab you in the back by running background checks on you just to get a story.
