Fashion With a Purpose

A few weekends ago, I had the opportunity to assist with a great fashion show presented by the Cinderella Foundation and produced by the fabulous Maggy Francios.

The Cinderella Foundation is an amazing non-profit organization which helps to empower young African American, and African Women living in high risk, low income communities.

Their purpose is wonderful and I suggest you all take a look at their site.

I had the opportunity to assist Reco Chapelle (Bravo's The Fashion Show season 1) back stage, as well as meet Jerell Scott (Project Runway Season5). They are hilarious lol.

The event also featured Korto Momolu from Project Runway of course, Taisha Seen, Carol Hannah Whitfield, and Belafigura as seen on my blog here.

Now peep the pics.. I managed to get some pretty good ones, and snag some others
