I loved getting to know the women nonprofit leaders who traveled across the country to join me at the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls’ inaugural SHE Leads: Empowering Nonprofit Leaders for Girls Conference! These pictures are from our Opening Night Reception in Los Angeles and it was a wonderful way to kick off the conference with these ladies - all mission-aligned in our passion to empower underserved and underrepresented girls and young women!
Incredible things happen when women come together! The S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls’ SHE Leads: Empowering Nonprofit Leaders for Girls Conference was an amazing success! We were Sold Out! This first-of-its-kind gathering brought together women leaders of girl-centered nonprofits from around the country. These are the women who are leading the organizations that help underserved and underrepresented girls and young women. It was an amazing couple of days! This was the beginning of a movement to bring nonprofit leaders together, share best practices and form a community! When one rises, we ALL rise!
In honor of today’s EMMY’S, I’m sharing this THROWBACK picture of the day I hosted the Official EMMY PRE-SHOW Red Carpet. The EMMY’S are always a lot of fun - much more relaxed than the Oscars. And, Kerry Washington was always so kind and gracious whenever I interviewed her. Fun times! 📺
Truly, one of the nicest celebrities I’ve ever interviewed! Over the years, I have interviewed Beyonce dozens of times and whenever I have spoken to her, she has always been so gracious, so down-to-earth, so “present” and thoughtful in our interviews. She is someone who always made my job easy and fun. For this interview, I wore this dress by ‘House of Dereon’ - Beyoncé’s and Ms. Tina’s clothing line. B was so surprised when she walked into the room! I had the dress tailored a bit and she noticed immediately and complimented me on how nice it looked. ☺️ Beyoncé is truly a gem. 💎 HAPPIEST of BIRTHDAYS, Queen B! 🎊
Another Sunday night, another ‘90 Day Fiance, Happily Ever After: The Couples Tell All’.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad! 💙I miss you so much! 🥲I’m so glad we got to travel and spend our July birthdays together! This is one of my favorite pictures - at Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre ⛪️ the church that overlooks all of Paris. 🇫🇷 No greater blessing than a girl to know the love of a father. 💞
Dad and me, back in 2014, cruising down the Seine River in Paris. 🛥️ This trip was so special to me because it was the last #birthdayvacation that Dad and I took together. 🥲🙏🏾 🕊️ Watching all the #Paris2024 Olympic athletes riding down the Seine brought back so many memories! Loved seeing the Olympians, especially Team USA, waving their country flags during the Opening Ceremony! 🇺🇸 Best of luck to all the athletes!
This was our group of 15 family and friends that traveled to the Dominican Republic to celebrate my #birthday! 🎉 This year, I wanted an abundance of COLOR for our photo (last year, we did all-white). I feel blessed beyond measure to have so many surround me in love 💜 on my special day. Thank you Juan Carlos Polanco for capturing this beautiful picture! 📸
Every birthday vacation that I get to travel with my mom is truly a blessing. 🎊This year, it was touch-and-go for several days due to a health crisis and we didn’t think Mom as going to be able to come on the trip. I was a total wreck because I did not want to go without her. But, this is an example of “Won’t He do it?! Yes, He will!”! God opened a way, Mom saw some great doctors and she was able to travel!🙌🏾 You can see from her smile that she had THE BEST time! 💕 🙏🏾
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! 🎂🎁🎉🎊 Woke up this morning in the beautiful Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 with my family and friends feeling BLESSED and HIGHLY FAVORED! 🙌🏾 This has been such a wonderful birthday vacation - I am so grateful for another trip around the sun! ☀️ I was asked…“What is my birthday wish?” Truthfully, I feel like I have every single thing that I could possibly want. There are no material items that I desire. My wish is actually for YOU. I hope you always feel LOVED. 🥰 I hope that, when you open your eyes every morning, you thank God for giving you another day. I hope you are always aware of the sanctity of Life and you live it to the fullest. My wish is that you always, Always lean towards Light and use your power for Good and to help others. 🙏🏾 Thank you for the beautiful birthday wishes! Sending you Love! 💜
