A couple of days ago, I was delighted  to host the kickoff party for the 1st Fashion and Philanthropy Distinction Defined. Mo Stegall and I interviewed from the blue carpet and chatted with some of the “It” guys of fashion in Atlanta. I learned a lot of mens fashion and so did Mo. The event was held at the beautiful Georgian Terrace hotel inside The Livingston.

I’m so proud of Ludacris for giving back to the community. Also at the party was Gabrielle Union, who chatted with me about her new tv series called, Flash Forward and also she just signed with Pantene for more hair commercials. She looked so pretty and I loved her hair. She had a light brown color with highlights. She is very fit, love her personality.
