Sunday, Oct. 9th, I had the opportunity to attend the 5th annual Circle of Sisters convention at the Jacob Javitz Center in New York City. Sponsored by 107.5 WBLS-FM and 1190 WBLI-AM, the Circle of Sisters was a two-day event that's filled with concerts, informative events and panel of discussions about how African American women can ameliorate their lives by staying fit, eating healthy and tons of other activities.
In attendance were many A-list celebrities, such as, Boris Kodjoe and wife Nicole Ari Parker, radio personality, Egypt, runner-up in season two of BET’s ‘Sunday’s Best”, Jessica Reedy, and winner of season three, LeAndra Johnson, as well as many others. Although I didn't get the opportunity to go both days, I absolutely enjoy myself.
Here's a video of the Circle of Sisters 2011 (Courtesy of Circle of Sisters).

| Me meeting Runner up of BET's Sunday's Best Season 2, Jessica Reedy Aww man! I must say meeting Jessica Reedy was such an honor! She’s just so down to earth, and humble, that even when she was bombarded after her performance with fans, she still managed to kept her cool.  The City Gym Boys were also in FULL EFFECT! (eye candy for the ladies!) |

I'm glad you experienced something enlightening and not only that, you shared it with others. Keep Going Paulana, I see success in your future and I'm no tarot card reader. P.S. You mind sharing some tips on Journalism, I'm still going to pursue that field.
ReplyDeleteOne advice is to always go to these events simply because you never know who you're going to meet. & what's event better about these events is that their either free or cheap. Tickets to the Circle of Sisters was $10.
