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.

Publicist giving speech

I got a chance to meet a Pinktabulous woman in business, which was Lisa Price! I’ve been following her career for awhile now and she said,”Tami its been 14yrs”! She was very pleasant and told me it was alot of work starting out, but well worth it. Lisa told me she was from Brooklyn Ny. I asked her what was her fav product and she said, she loves the Hair Milk because it doesnt leave your hair sticky and that its her best selling item. I asked her how she liked our humid weather here in Atlanta and she said it was very hot, lol.

Me interviewing Lisa Price

Celebs that came out to support this event was Boris Kodjoe, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Harvey, Derek Blanks,Michael Knight,Monique, NFL, players and NBA players and everybody that was shopping in the mall lol. It was a packed affair. I also got a chance to congratulate Steve Harvey on his new book,”Act like a lady,Think like a Man“.

He looked very serious when I approached him with my mic. I introduced myself to him and then said,” hey Steve I’m from Cleveland”. I use to do your ex wife nails(the mother of his two twins) lol, he looked a lil uncomfortable but smiled and let me proceed with my interview. He also told me he was a resident of Atlanta, I was like wow,Ive never seen him around town but I have seen his new wife out. I loved her platinum ring and quickly zoomed in to get a pic of that puppy. I also liked how they complimented each other with their coordinating outfits,they looked very stylish man. I do believe his book is doing extremely well too! If Im not mistaken, I think I overheard someone saying a movie is in the works of his Bestselling book, wow, you go Steve! We will have to stay tuned to find out more!

Mr. and Mrs. Steve Harvey

Comedian,actress, business diva, Monique looked fab! While she was getting a massage, I tried to make her remember that I interviewed her last year. I told her I was trying to get on her show F.A.T.Chance and she told me, I needed to eat some more lol. She laughed and we chatted about what she was up to. She said, she has a new talk show coming out that will air on B.E.T. titled, “The Monique Show”. Tonite Monique was casual, with a nice healthy looking hairdo,a pair of blue jean capris and nice top with gucci heels, she was very funny and real, you can tell she was very relaxed, I like her,go girl! She said the tapings will be done at Turner Broadcasting studios and that the show starts taping Sept 1st. I’m going to try to make it to atleast one of those tapings! Good luck with your new show Monique! You can tell she likes people alot like me because she posed for pics and chatted with everyone,making it nice to be around her.

So I had a blast as usual and cant wait for the next big event. The cocktails,music,bites and atmosphere was Pinktastic! I was a lil heart broken though that I didnt get to meet Mary J. Blige but I know its going to happen. Till next time you guys, keep it pinky! I would like to thank Nikki Walker Pr and Shem Young for the personal invite!

Young Entreprenuer Empowerment Group

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Over the weekend I got a chance to go listen to some great young entertainers. Y.E.E.C.(Young Entreprenuers Empowerment Group) founded by Aaron Reid,Jason Johnson and James Smith collaborated to start this much needed organization. What they have done is gathered Artists,models,dj’s,actors,producers,musicians,fashion designers and more under one umbrella to help them with management. What a great thing to see with our youth of today! These fellows are on their way to greatness and you know that Im all for young people starting great businesses.

You may remember Aaron Reid from MTV’s sweet sixteen with his elaborate birthday party. His parents are well known in the music business, his mom is singer and now pastor Pebbles, and dad L.A.Reid. So Aaron is no stranger to the music industry. The other two guys James and Jason came from different positions in the music industry as well.

After the red carpet we got to hear some of their artist perform like cutie pie singer Unique who is signed with Def Jam,Aaron Reid’s best friend and rapper Rich Hill(Tommy Hilfiger’s son) who performed O’s,Overdose a rap/punk group out of Los Angeles and sexy Ray Lavender who is signed with Konvict music,he sang Tipsy,he has a great stage presence. Other groups were rapper Big Shine and rap group Supernova.

I really enjoyed seeing the groups and hearing the music. Lots of Celebs came out like DJ Cannon who lets me use alot of my beats for the tv show,Gerald Levert’s daughter Carlysia, Tameka Foster who declined a pic with me lol,JoJo producer,reality star from Run’s House,comedian Griffy 2k,LeToya Luckett,Neffy(Keyshia Cole show),Dallas Austin and his artist,Chaka from DTP and many more. I wish the young entreprenuers alot of luck with their new business venture. Thanks to The Garner Circle for the invite.
