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.

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