Happy Tuesday, folks!
I just returned from Essence Fest, and let me tell you: it was a busy but blessed time! As an AT&T Social Media Ambassador, I was charged with capturing great content, conducting interviews, and covering events, all while staying connected via their @HumanityofConnection page.
Check out a few standout moments:
On Saturday, I was honored to receive an AT&T Humanity of Connection Ceiling Crashers award from Tonya Lombard, alongside Designer Aisha McShaw, Maude Okrah and Simone Tetteh, Co-Owners of Bonnti, and Entrepreneur and Influencer Jessica Depart.
It was amazing to receive such a tremendous honor, and tell the story of how I started my little blog that would one day reach the world in an audience that included legends like Cicely Tyson!
For the occasion, I wore a Haus of Shea floral look and Hanifa sandals. I posed next to ever fabulous PMM Agency CEO Kim Blackwell, who looked bomb in a Dapper Dan x Gucci look:
She is goals!
And on Sunday, I attended Mary J Blige’s Strength of a Woman brunch, which was the perfect exclamation point to a series of days the underscored the power of community and the beauty of women. I took pictures with Bombshells Eudoxie, Monica Brown, Mona Scott Young and more wearing a slip dress from Kele’s Boutique and Tori Soudan Mosaic Pumps, along with Simone I Smith Earrings, and jewelry from Moshoodat and Louisiana’s very own Fashart Styling Showroom:
