ok so i had the pleasure of attending the first annual Essence Young Women's Leadership Conference here in Washington, DC. Because I have been deprived of being around black people for a while, whenever I am surrounded by us, i get excited, lol. The convention center had tons of young, fab black women all dressed in fly suits, skirts and dresses with luxurious hair everywhere. There were a few panels all talking about being young,female, black and my fav: successful. We touched on topics such as entrepreneurship, personal finances (credit,debt, loans, mortgages) and or course our image in this country and around the world. Notable faces were Jeff Johnson, Angels and Vanessa Simmons and others you may not know my name, but have fab careers and doing big things... great event.
speaking of great events, last night i went to the VSB happy hour at the mahogany restaurant... it was a great time, shoutouts to verysmartbrothas.com for having the event. i am looking forward to the next time.

lol. i think i might be one of very few people who wanted to bust out laughing at the "luxurious hair" comment. I could just hear it coming out your mouth!
Glad you had a good time in my city and U Street neighborhood.
