Blessings runneth over

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

My good friend Jayda Cabbell is doing so many wonderful things in the community. I had to give her props. God has really blessed this talented young lady. I remember when I met Jayda Boo a couple of years ago standing in line at a tv studio. She told me she was starting a cooking show called, www.divvadishes.com . I thought that was the cutest name plus she likes to wear heels and serve families. Weve been friends every since and we both are Gemini’s, so we are both wild and crazy. We have alot in common as well, like our love for shopping,shoes,family,waking up early and having high pitched voices lol. Jayda always tries to get me to come out and feed the homeless with her too,which Im warming up to.Jayda is also giving young girls Prom dresses to those less fortunate. I gave her the black n pink number for a special girl.

My friend Jayda is a Katrina survivor leaving everything behind in New Orleans. She brought her family to Atlanta and made this her home now. She moved into a hotel and still prepared meals for the homeless in her tiny kitchenette and kept this up till today. In the meantime,she met a wonderful guy and soon married. Now my Jayda Boo has blessings running over because she has a big beautiful house for her large family! I know God is going to bless her more and more because she has a huge heart. Here is someone who is not selfish and doing Gods work daily! Give her praise she derseves it! Here are some pics of me and my girlies hanging out at her new home.

Skirt Mag/Ms.Biz Event

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Skirt Magazine invited me out to their Ms.Biz event and I had a great time! Felicia Joy hosted this networking event because she is all about women and teaching them about entreprenuership with her magazine Ms.CEO and on her radio show( www.msceoshow.com).

So funny because she was recently at a taping of my Girls Nite In. I love to see women come up with great ideas and network too. I saw my buddy Stephanie Davis(editor in chief and her marketing guru Jennifer! I also met a very chipper new friend by the name of Dickie Sykes who has a company called DGS Consultant,LLC(www.dgsconsultingllc.com) she has an audio cd called,Yes you can still find a job! In these times of economical struggles we can all use some great advice, if you know what I mean. Also I met Marea Michelle, who has a new book out called, The P.H.D.(The Professional Hustlette’s Degree) www.thephdbook.com. She just gave me a copy so I will have to read it and let you know how it was.

The event was very nice and lots of womenprenuers came out to the lovely Ellis hotel which is in downtown Atlanta. I got a chance to speak with the hotel’s publicist Autumn Mayfield, who informed me that in the Ellis hotel they have a floor dedicated to women how cool is that! I think you get a complimentary pair of Spanx in every room! I love Sara Blakely what a great inventor! Skirt magazine was also taking up a donations for The Atlanta Womens Foundation which benefits their organization. The event was very lovely and the hors d’oeuvres and Skirtinis was just right. Thanks Skirt for inviting me out!
