Awesome Labor Day Weekend!

Oh my gosh! How did I leave out starting my weekend at the Allstate Tom Joyner Family Reunion?  From the wheelchair races to the "twerking grandmas," it kind of defies description.  I have been to a few live TJMS but somehow this one seemed more fun with a group of friends.  I didn't get to take any pics with the celebs but I took a few of them and I will share them below.  It was very touching seeing Sabrina Fulton on stage and actually feeling the love and support in the room for her loss.  To me, it's always a source of pride seeing that many folks getting together and getting along.  It was a great way to kick off Labor day weekend.

This has been a truly wonderful weekend! I had a chance to spend time with family and friends, went to some great parties and got a chance to rest, a little.  I am thankful for all the blessings I enjoy.

The Day Party at Ember was truly epic!  As evidenced by the fact that I never made it to the after party at Ceviche...  The game on Sunday was great notwithstanding the fact that it was hot as fish grease out there.  It was beyond wonderful seeing the FAMU Marching 100 take the field again.  Because if you didn't know I am a Rattler from the womb to the tomb!

Sunday, there was a really nice party at Loft 55.  It was a party that DJ Saxwell had been planning but was not able to bring to fruition due to his untimely death.  Thankfully, Comedian Tight Mike and Pat Nix were able to make it happen.  The midnight toast was bittersweet but a fitting tribute to our good friend.

This was a weekend that lived up to and exceeded the expectations of the Ultimate Party Animal.  I hope you enjoyed the weekend.  I'm about to get dressed and head out to yet another event.  A birthday celebration.  Enjoy your Labor Day and be safe.

What the Heck is "Dancing for Dollars?"

What is “Dancing for Dollars” you may ask? Well, rest assured it has NOTHING to do with stripper poles or any such thing. “Dancing for Dollars” is the effort of our new Executive Director, Holly Mosley Cooper, MBA, to bring in funds and bring awareness to Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc. Mrs. Cooper has been known to “cut a rug” and then trip over it.  Mrs. Holly Mosley Cooper, MBA But she is willing to make a spectacle of herself to help children who are in need but can’t afford to pay for the services. Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc. is a 501 (c ) (3) organization registered with the State of Florida as such. We were founded nearly 30 years ago by our former Executive Director, Ernestine Mosley. The mission of the tutoring center has always been the education of its enrolled students. They have striven to reach those students that may have been deemed “unreachable” by the system. The ones who were labeled as lacking in some necessary component to succeed in school. Mrs.
