BEST Of 2011 Andra Hall's(Cami Cake owner) Holiday Gift Exchange!

At the end of every year I like to post some of the “Best Of ” from 2011. It’s fun to go down memory lane and look through my archives of all the events I covered, invited out to or simply just went to hang out. This year I was recognized in my community, awarded several times and more! It has been a crazy year, I must say! I learned to pin on Pinterest, grow my followers on twitter and use tumblr! I have met some fabulous people and some folks that I was not too happy to meet. I have gained some true friends and comment stalkers as well lol. I feel as though I have grown a lot with my ventures. I got a chance to travel to Jamaica! The very first time I had EVER been out of the country! I not only visited Jamaica once but twice in a month, they loved me lol.

It’s hard to say but I work in media, I’m a fashion and beauty editor of a few magazines,blogger,red carpet correspondent and I’m all things social media, how about that lol. I have seen me look at hot mess and really nice and in between! My weight has fluctuated between a 12 and 14, I see it in my pics lol.All in all i must say its been a learning experience and I wouldn’t change anything in the world. I hope that my life,family and friends stay safe going into the new year! I love you guys and thanks so much for reading and hanging in there with me from the beginning of my lil blog five years ago! Take care and look at these photos I found! I can’t believe this year is over this weekend, it went by so fast! Enjoy! xoxo

Local Legends Scholarship Luncheon 2011, Hosted by Frank & Tanya Ski

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

frank ski kids logo resize Local Legends Scholarship Luncheon 2011, Hosted by Frank & Tanya Ski

Today I headed over to Radio Personality, Frank Ski & Tanya’s lovely home for their Annual Local Legends Scholarship Luncheon. Frank and Tanya have a non profit organization called, Frank Ski Kids that caters to young adults that teach them different skills by taking them on trips or doing local things in the community. This day, 7 young ladies(seniors in high school) that have 3.0 grade average or higher were invited to be acknowledged for all their hard work and community service. Tanya usually picks 6 young ladies but this year she chose 7. She said it was very hard to choose this time around. This year scholarship winners were: Shuntell Hall, Jeyana ScottKhandis Plunkett, Morgan StephensDana JohnsonRaven Osborne, and Lorraine Kadima.

Some girls held many chairs, did volunteer work, and played sports and still was able to maintain exceptional grades. They arrived in style, chauffeured to Frank and Tanya’s home in a stretch limousine.

Tanya said she got the idea to do the luncheon after watching Oprah have a lunch for 3 generations of women. That really inspired her and she wanted to do the same for deserving students. She also wanted to give out awards to local legends in Atlanta that are phenomenal.

Tanya discussed social media,facebook, twitter,texting and it’s up’s and downs. She also talked about etiquette and how to return emails, phone calls and writing thank you notes. Shortly afterwards two local legends in the community came to speak to the ladies and that was Singer,Songwriter,Reality Star Kandi Burruss and Director of Community Affairs at Georgia Pacific, Charmaine Ward. Kandi discussed the Entertainment Business and Charmaine discussed work attire and interviewing tips. After they talked to the girls lunch was served.

After lunch Tanya and Frank presented Kandi and Charmaine with their Local Legends Awards and gave the seven young ladies scholarships and pretty swag bags. Inside of their bags were an all expense paid photoshoot with Cliff Robinson Photography that they can use for their senior pictures at any location.

Last night the crowd went wild as Jennifer Hudson held a private listening party at W Hotel in midtown.It was hosted by radio station v 103. I was unable to attend because I was at another affair but my good friend Raymond Hagans was able to snap some fab photos and send to me of this amazing singer. Jennifer looks great and I see her family was there as well. Enjoy the pics and happy Friday!
