Today my friend Lillie Mae and I went back to the My Black is Beautiful tour in Atlanta. It was held at the Cobb Galleria Center and lots of ladies came out to get pampered. It was nice to see a crowd of beautiful women looking fab and smiling. Procter & Gamble puts on this cross country campaign yearly.

So many times black women are portrayed in a bad light in the media. My Black is Beautiful program was created to celebrate African American beauty and to encourage black women and young girls to define and promote their own beauty standard.

Some of the key brands that supported the event were Always, Tampax,Crest,Olay Definity, CoverGirl Queen Collection and Pantene. They were also taping for Season 3 of My Black is Beautiful and looking for a new face to be a spokesmodel. A lot was going on today and I saw women getting manicures, hairdos, yogo sessions by Andrea, panel discussions,music provided by MC Lyte, facials,massages and more!

My Black is Beautiful Atlanta

I really enjoyed myself at the My Black is Beautiful event over the weekend! I had never heard about it but thought I would check it out. When I got there I was overwhelmed by all the people waiting in line to get in. It was literally wrapped around the building…maybe twice! When you have free events, you have to make sure that you have the proper venue because everyone likes freebies lol.

Thank goodness I went as press because I would have been waiting in line as well, yikes! From hearing the security and people working the event there was 5400 people that came out and about 200 people waiting outside to get in. When my daughter and I walked up the stairs there was another registration line. You got your members card and a Black is Beautiful bag with goodies inside! Love goodies! Some of the sponsors were: Proctor & Gamble,Always,Clairol,Covergirl,Crest,Olay,Pantene and Tampax!

The Cobb Galleria turned the ballroom into something spactacular! Everything was so fancy with colors of brown and blue. Love those two colors together! They had white drapes cascading from ceiling with rooms sectioned off for privacy.There was guest speakers,yogo instructors,hair salons,message rooms,nail services,art,fashion consultants,dental and more! You really got to feel special and pampered that day!
