Claire’s Life: My LA Trip to Celebrate World Champion Jason Richardson’s Olympic Bid

Hey Hey!
So it’s my birthday! While I plan to celebrate with a mani at Polish Bar of Brooklyn, lite shopping, and a birthday dinner, the festivities truly started earlier this week with a whirlwind trip to LA to meet and greet world champion runner and Olympic hopeful Jason Richardson.

Bevy Smith, Syreeta of Black Sports Online, and more gathered to meet the Nike Athlete, see what he is about, and support him in the pursuit of his Olympic dreams. Our first stop was to meet Jason, and observe what he could do on the track.

And at night, we attended a dinner to toast to his accomplishments.

Many tastemakers stopped by, including Angel of Concrete Loop, fabulous jewelry designer Melody Ehsani, Marie Denee of the Curvy Fashionista, and Taye Hansberry of Stuff She Likes:

It was a fun trip and I LOVE LA. I”ll have to make it out there more often.
