Yelp Winter Wonderland Party

Last night I had the pleasure of enjoying a night of fun, food, drinks, and magic with Yelp St. Louis at the Yelp Winter Wonderland Party! The event took place at the Grand Hall at Union Station. Restaurants were serving amazing food including Evangeline's Bistro and Music House, Bootleggin' BBQ, Lona's Lil Eats, Clementine's Naughty and Nice Creamery, 360, and Hot Box Cookies, and others. The food was great! My friend Chassica and I enjoyed everything and Evangeline's Bistro Made-to-order Bananas Foster was amazing!

The venue was amazing and featured a visual display coordinated with sound, narration, and music every 30 minutes. It was great! I loved it!

For entertainment, among noshing, sipping, and mingling, we also got to enjoy a photo booth and even, a beautiful snow queen!

As usual, another great Yelp event in the books! I love Yelp!

Late Post: Delux Magazine Power 100 Event

I was blessed on the evening of November 8, 2015 when I attended Delux Magazine's Power 100 event, which was held at Lumiere Live in downtown St. Louis. The event was held to honor 100 local African American movers, shakers, makers, politicians, owners, and every thing in between who have been recognized for their service and commitment to St. Louis.

My look for the evening

Some of the recipients included Channel 4 News Anchor Andre Hepkins, artist C'babi Bayoc, radio personalities Tammi Holland and Staci Static, and St. Louis City Treasurer Tishaura O. Jones, among many, many others!

It was beautiful, inspiring, and encouraging to be surrounded by so many brilliant and talented people all in one room. I also had the priveledge to interview one of the "Distinguished Leaders", Vanessa Foster-Cooksey for the cover story of the current issue of Delux Magazine.

In that this was the first -time that the event was held, I'm sure that future Power 100 events will be known as one of the most prestigious and highly-anticipated annual events of the year in St. Louis.

Delux Magazine is currently taking nominations for 30 individuals under the age of 30, who will be recognized and known as the "Emerging 30." Keep up the great work Delux Magazine and its fearless and passionate leader, Keith Griffin III! Congratulations to all the recipients!
