Celebrating Women, Amplifying Voices and Raising Hope!

"Celebrating Women, Amplifying Voices and Raising Hope"...........that was the theme at this years Women’s Foundation for Greater Memphis www.wfgm.org Tribute Luncheon.

I am on the board of the Women's Foundation for Greater Memphis and I have to say....To me, it is an honor to be on the board and to be a part of this group of great women who empower and inspire others! They are very dedicated to helping women & children and the community.

The pre-party was hosted at the home of Gayle Rose. It was held on the night of April 14th and the luncheon was on the 15th. It was elegant and welcoming! I got to meet the keynote speaker, Gloria Reuben, actress from ER (and she is also a former Tina Turner’s backup singer/dancer). Gloria was very sweet and approachable!

My wonderful girlfriend Leisel “Q” Quamie (celebrity fashion stylist) http://www.lqstyles.com)/came to town and stayed with my family and I. She was one of the speakers at the post youth event (By the way….I am wearing Hilton Hollis in the photo below with "Q") Leisel is an amazing woman with great talent! I was happy to share her with everyone – I am so proud of her and her mission with Beauty & Love.
The next day, “Q” and I stopped by to see my other beautiful and talented friend, Mary Beth Conely, (anchor for Live @ 9, WREG) at the Peabody Place. “Q” was on the show that morning before the luncheon to discuss her non-profit organization, share her background, showed photos of her celebrity clients and most importantly announce the youth event for the WFGM.
