Fro Fashion Week......The place to be!

Fro Fashion week Spring 2012 edition did not disappoint! I am amazed each time I attend at the way the creator, Tarin Boone, out does herself with each season. The downtown Atlanta Melia hotel is the setting for this upscale, intimate and informing event and offers beautiful guest suites, a great room view and access to all the events in one space. My friend Precious & I arrived Friday evening after an adventurous 3 1/2 hour car ride, ordered some room service and prepared to hit the show with excitement and energy.

This year I have the pleasure and honor of being a Lead Press Supporter and..... WOW the perks of this job are amazing. I networked with some amazing companies, bloggers and natural hair beauties.

Cue the confetti and baby giggles! It's been over two decades since I last cradled a newborn in my arms, and the prospect of becoming a grandmother fills me with an indescribable mix of excitement, nostalgia, and a touch of apprehension.
