I enjoyed the opportunity to fellowship and share a few laughs with some women who I have a great deal of respect for.

Another highlight of the night was the opportunity to meet songbird Kaleena Harper.  Kaleena is a member of the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta cast as well as a former member of the group Dirty Money.  Although the meeting was short lived, I will say that Kaleena and her team were very nice and down to earth.  Kaleena look absolutely amazing from head to toe.  Even with her belly getting bigger due to her love on top growing, she looked haute in her form fitting orange gown.  While I am in love with her look  sporting the purple hair, I must say; her long flowing dark brown hair was A1.  1407109821718

Mental note, never sit by or near China Smith again because she is too much, but we had so many laughs.

This is not a post about fashion. This is a friendly reminder that the way you style your life determines how successful you are and the influence you offer the world. How you style your life connects you to your purpose and living your purpose draws you closer to God. Your style can’t be mimicked or  matched; it is a muscle only you can flex. 
🗣POP STYLE SIS!!

This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly th This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly the way I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I remember the day I planned to abort him. I damn near remember every moment that I have shared with him over the last 23 years and every moment I had with God on his behalf. As we prepare for yet another amazing moment, I am grateful. 

Grateful that God loved me enough to bless me with this joyful black boy. Grateful that he was patient as I grew from girl to woman while being his mother. Grateful that he inspired me to push past every roadblock placed in my path. 

@youknowitszaydoe, I am so proud of you and I love you far beyond any words, actions, or material items, black man. I once called you sun because you shined like one but truthfully you out shine the sun, son. i pray that you receive and cherish every good and perfect thing God has for you. I pray you continue to pursue your purpose with passion. Most of all I pray that and abundance of love and light surround you and that despite life challenges you never cower in the face of adversity.
