Dove Girl’s Night Out

March 11, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to organize a Dove Girl’s Night Out event for ten “lucky” ladies.

The fun filled afternoon out with... [Read the full story]

Boo hoo! *real tears* Season one of the African Collective was ushered in with a sonic boom. I confess... [Read the full story]
